Increased business opportunities (large or small)
Using the internet will allow you to increase your
customer base. By creating an online presence, your marketing campaigns can
include a population of people that you could never reach through stores. You
can use the internet to present to your customers what upcoming events or
products may be available to them. And when you are doing great things, your
followers are more likely to share your business with their friends and family
who may also be interested in what you have to offer. You can advertise
specials that you are offering to your customers, increasing the reach of your
special promotions. You can also use online content to let the public know more
about the personal side of your business, like how you handle your customers. Businesses can also have an opportunity to sell products and services online, they can create a system where everything is done online without having to go to a shop and buy a product or service, you can simply just log onto a custom made website and order it with a card payment. So selling things online are made quicker, with less effort and things can be delivered. You can also set up a system where you sign up to a website with an email address and updates and information can be sent straight to customers. This is also a good way to keep people informed and involved. 
Although I agree that if the company is selling the ‘right’ product the audience is more likely to inform others about the product. But do you think that overall the internet has only benefited tertiary businesses as E-commerce sits can other the products at a lower price?
ReplyDeleteWhat examples of places can you advertise and function on as a business?
ReplyDeleteMy comments towards this topic are really very similar to my previous comment on your "Greater interactions with others" post of how it allows for a better relationship with everyone involved with the business and can mean better benefits for the business such as more business itself and a sense of loyalty due to the personal feeling the business can offer to their customers and others.
ReplyDeleteOn top of the opportunities listed, you could also point out how through technology businesses can operate across the globe to quickly, cheaply and easily do business at all times
ReplyDeletebusinesses are able to sell their products through 3rd party sellers as well as being able to sell their products directly to the customer. I agree with Josh Clare's comment on how it can create a better relationship in the business as well as having a better connection with the audience in which it is trying to sell it's products to.
