The Internet: The Basis for Your Business Growth And Expansion

in hive-175254 •  5 years ago 

I have heard some people say they are comfortable with handling their business the traditional way, they do not want to take it to the internet, and they come up with several excuses as to why they do not want their business to become a thing of the internet. If you are one of such people who think making their business an internet thing is wrong, then this post is to give you reasons on why you need to take your business to the internet.

This quick survey by Daren Falter is a quick one you should take in determining if you want your business to go online or remain at the offline level that it is:

would your business be more profitable if you had no mailing costs, no product cost and no shipping costs? Would you make much money if you could be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with no office space and no employees?

As much as I am aware that you have an idea about the internet business style, I will like to give a quick recap on the traditional or offline method of handling business as well as the online method of handling business.

Analysing the Internet Method of Handling Business.

  • There is a constant opportunity of expanding your customer base.

  • The method of advertising is very cheap and affordable.

  • The internet provides your business with the opportunity to start your business small.

  • Your customer base are usually filled with smart and intelligent people.

  • The internet market is not expensive to set up and there is little risk involved as to when compared with an offline market system.

This does not mean that the offline system of handling business is a complete write off but it is emphasising on the need for bringing your offline business to an online platform. The online system promises better productive value, better marketing strategies and a better customer based system.

I have heard some people say they are comfortable with handling their business the traditional way, they do not want to take it to the internet

Hello buddy, everything is witnessing improvement thorough internet. Internet has transformed how everything is done. Businesses are doing exceptionally great with the help of internet. People operate franchises in millions of dollars thru e-commerce. They don't even have physical structures for their businesses .i believe that the era of running businesses the traditional way is about to taste bitter extinction

It is well known the characteristics and properties that the Internet has for business, but now in the middle of this crisis is when they are realizing more of its scope.

usually slow and very expensive to get publications for your products

On the internet, you can make it all for free, but self-hosted websites and Facebook or Google advertising is expensive. Maybe you spend hundreds of dollars with no result. And, in this crisis, many people in quarantine want to make a new online business. So, it is difficult now.
