2009 has been a big year for SmartHouse and ChannelNews. SmartHouse grew traffic online by 35% and at December the 8th we were the #1 technology and home lifestyle web site tracked by Nielsen Online.
We have already achieved over 7 million page views from 3 million Australians looking for consumer and home lifestyle information.
In the consumer technology and SMB channel, ChannelNews has become the #1 web site with our 17,000 daily email service proving extremely popular.
2009 is set to be a tough year with vendors, resellers and distributors set to come under pressure.
What will be essential is how you entice or seduce people to spend. Right now consumers have money in their pockets thanks to the Federal Government, they are saving money on mortgage repayments and petrol is falling so the unlock key to sales in 2009 will be enticing them to part with their money.
