Increased business
opportunities-
As modern society has changed over the past few years, more
and more people are opting to buy their products online rather than go to the
high street to buy their products. Due to more and more businesses' being made
in this way it means that shops on the high street have to downsize. An example
of this is ‘Woolworth s’, this company had to close down its high street stores
as they were not generating any profit and so they were costing the company more
money to have them then they would if they did not have them. As the shops shut
down the website kept running as this is where the majority of people were
buying their products from, this is because their products were very simple so
people were willing to buy the product without seeing it first. Therefore,
closing the shops down did not mean that the company was going bust, but in
fact moving on with the technology age in order to keep running and create the
profit that they are capable of doing.
The amount of sites that you can purchase items on are
endless, but one that is most popular is Amazon, on Amazon you can buy almost
any item that you desire and is quick and easy. Amazon can ship too many different countries
just as easily as it does to people living in the UK; this means that it can
also generate more profit as it gets the business from other countries that
other companies may not be able to generate. Other sites that do this are
clothing shops, most of the ‘in demand’ clothing shops will ship to an endless
list of countries that most people would not think possible.
Also most websites are far cheaper than the high street
shops and so more and more people are opting to not go shopping in towns
anymore but instead making their purchases online for a much cheaper price. As
people have taken this into account, more and more companies are being created
that only run on the internet and have some warehouses to ship their products
to and from. This is the best way forward in my opinion as It is a lot easier
and quicker for the customer as it saves them driving to the high street to buy
a product as if they order something online the product can sometimes even
arrive on the same day, but is often the day after.

ReplyDeleteI think all the issues you discussed in this post are very relevant and should be noted that new businesses are able to have opportunities via the internet and it's capabilities.
ReplyDeleteI can see the many advantages of online shopping. It is cheaper, easier and in some cases quicker. I find it quite sad though how shops on the high street are closing down. It means that many family businesses who own small shops have to close and this means that huge companies that sell online make lots of money. I find that going out shopping in a town or city is much more enjoyable than clicking a few times to buy something online.
ReplyDeleteonline shopping is easier and more convenient but going to the high street can have its benefits as some stores have sales while the online page doesn't. another problem is that you have to wait for the delivery time instead of getting the item instantly.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is great that we can connect via things like feedback pages and blogs. However, I feel very strongly that you should have a legal right on what content of language is allowed onto the sight. I believe that someone should monitor it at all times and if anything offensive has been put onto the site, it should be taken down immediately.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you have all said and there are a lot of advantages for new businesses and therefore makes our lives, as customers a lot more easier.
