Hello
Websites can be accessed by anyone, at
anytime, in any part of the world, so long as they are connected to the
Internet.
Recent Internet
World
Statistics show that more people are 'logging on' every year, with 20% of the world's
population now using the World Wide Web to chat with friends, research for work
or school, to browse or purchase products, services online.
That is why most small businesses these days
have some kind of web presence, be it a web site with hundreds of pages (like
the comprehensive Peterson web site), or a one
page business profile.
Over the past month, we have been collating
web addresses from some of our many Peterson mill owners, who operate
businesses as well as their sawmills! There could be someone in your area of
the world who makes furniture, sells lumber cut
from their Peterson sawmill or is available for custom milling. For a directory of our owner's web sites click
here.
If you own a business, and don't have a
website, perhaps it's time to look into having one built. The best place to
start your search for a web designer is your local yellow pages. There's
nothing better than being able to sit down next to an actual person while you
plan your business's electronic future.
With your business represented on the
Internet, you can provide personalised support for your customers, and give
information about your products and services, all without answering a phone or
hiring extra staff!
For now, I'll leave you with a quote from
the man who changed how the world communicates, Bill Gates, from his essay,
'Shaping the Internet Age.'
"For businesses, the Internet breaks
down logistical barriers, offering greater flexibility and power in the way
they do business. It shrinks time and distance, simplifies complex business
processes, and enables more effective communication and collaboration."
We hope you enjoy this issue of 'Cutting
Comments', we'll see you again in June!

Article: Timbersports Competitor Partners with Portable Sawmill
Manufacturer . . .
Peterson Portable Sawmills have recently joined forces with a rising star of the Stihl Timbersports Series,
Nathan Waterfield.
Nathan was born and raised in Warren, Pennsylvania where 100 years ago logging, sawmilling and wood processing was a major industry. Now the area is
a mixed market of oil and natural gas, dairy farming, and forestry.
As a child, Nathan enjoyed sports and played American Football, Wrestling and Track and Field but most often he
spent time in the outdoors with his
grandfather, Lee Rubright. Read
