This article aims to present preliminary results of research on Cybermarketing as a strategy for strengthening MSMEs, through the implementation of e-strategies, enhancing the development of these small business units. Some theoretical principles were revised(De la Garza, 2000; Kotler and Armstrong, 2008; Kotler and Keller, 2006) and some results of research on the topic in question (Luque and Castañeda, 2007; Altube, 1997; Ramirez, 2000; Sorokina and Ledesma, 2001; Ochoa, 2007). A semistructured questionnaire was designed as an interview guide, which was applied to representatives of five companies that were selected after a thorough selection process that was carried out over Internet, in order to determine which MSMEs in Sincelejo met the characteristics of cybermarketing usage.
