The Information Superhighway: It's Making Business Easier

Whether or not you actively use the Internet today in your business, you already know — or will find out shortly — it definitely makes things easier. Consider this: you need information on a specific product during the day, it’s easy to call the manufacturer, your rep or local distributor. But after business hours, getting information is definitely trickier.

This is where the Internet, and access to manufacturer and distributor websites, is vital. And if the selected manufacturer does not have a website presence, you can always try the online Sweet’s catalog (www.sweets.com). The offerings are extensive, with more than 25,000 products from 1,600 manufacturers included. Not a bad source — available 24/7 and as close as your computer.
