The Internet has taken a much higher percentage of all advertising spend each year as it continues to prove that it is the most effective means for advertisers to reach their audiences.

With the increased mobility of people and business in the global village, it makes sense to expose the commercial property as efficiently as possible for the entire market. In 2006 there were 6 million searches (based on figures from Yahoo Search) made on the internet in the UK for commercial property of all kinds.
