Web Host News – Gloucester, UK – Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a leading web hosting provider, today launched a brand new online storage solution especially designed for archiving valuable business data.

The study, from web host Fasthosts Internet, interviewed 1495 firms, found that a worrying number still prioritise letters received over emails, and may also be alienating customers by losing emails, with 1 in 3 mislaying emailed orders at least once a quarter. Two thirds have received no training at all in the use of business email.  In worrying contrast, a further survey of 1400 UK adults finds that 69 per cent expect an email to be valued equally to a letter. Whilst over half of consumers (54 per cent) believe they would spend more with email-efficient firms, only 29 per cent of businesses recognise this.   Furthermore, 45 per cent of Britons now expect firms to be able to email documents such as quotes and brochures, whilst 61 per cent of companies still do not offer the option.  Data from Fasthosts’ ‘Business Email Attitudes’ study finds that a significant number of UK businesses are out of step with consumer expectations for email communication.

Data from 1400 consumers and 390 small firms reveals that online trading has made interesting social and business impacts.   Most Britons have become more demanding shoppers as a result
