Greater interaction with others and organisations
Due to the increase in the use of the internet many
businesses have started off on the web and have moved to the high street or they
have moved from the high street to having a web shop as well. This gives the
businesses ability to appeal to a greater audience. Businesses can contact one
another without the need of travelling to meet a client; instead they can just
contact each other by using email or using other means of internet messaging. This
gives the company more access to others and being able to create more business
opportunities. A lot of people can use the internet to review something they are interested in, and with the interaction of others, you can quickly pick up an overview of something. for example amazon allows people to review a product after purchase to allow you to share your views with other potential buyers. There are a lot of advantages to having this ability to quickly contact people, as it reduces work, effort and stress. If a business puts in the effort to interact online, more people will like you as your web presence shows you are passionate, if your web presence is high, people can see the effort you are putting in with the site you produce and the way you advertise, and it gives a great example of the way you are viewed. this allows a business to increase its knowledge around the world by interacting with different people and businesses.
Having greater interaction with others comes in many different forms. For example, people can communicate via social networking sites now-a-ways and it is quite the astonishing way to communicate with ease and simplicity. It allows people to share thoughts, opinions and facts with one another, and is such an awesome way of having a greater interaction with others; friends, families, strangers..
ReplyDeleteI would like to add the aspect of being able to keep a lot closer to the businesses customers and their suppliers for instance as you have the ability to keep in contact with them on a day to day basis if needed which allows the business to monitor any queries or help out customers if they have an issue and hopefully resolve it. On the supplier aspect of the scale a close relationship with them would mean most likely a greater loyalty and if you need to make a change to an order they are more likely to help you out as well as being able to order any stock quickly and without the need for a delay.
ReplyDeleteThere are many other things you can do on the internet apart from internet messaging. You can use all sorts of applications such as Skype to contact someone or you can play games and have virtual contact on different types of websites.
ReplyDeleteI agree that many businesses have shifted their priority to the online market. However I believe that companies have been able to interact with their customers in the form of social media, for example, now many companies have Facebook pages, this therefore means customer are able to voice their opinions on the company’s new product etc.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good, especially highlighting how businesses are no longer hindered by distance, however you could also include how they can advertise in more places at a cheaper cost and reach much larger audiences.
ReplyDeleteI agree with these points, not only business have benefitted from the easier access to the information. many people have been able to make their day to day lives easier as they are able to communicate with distant relatives by using different applications such as Skype. However, some information that is being shared can be interpreted as both useful and useless depending on the individual person.
