By utilizing lead magnets, small businesses can ensure they get the coveted email subscription of prospective clients by promising relevant information.

What does web accessibility mean and does it apply to small businesses?
In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law, and since then businesses, both large and small, have been required to make their physical business environment accessible to the differently abled.
