Everyone seems to be jumping on the internet marketing bandwagon lately. In the race to get their business online Cheap Brady Skjei Jersey , many successful businesses forget to ask themselves some tough questions about what they are doing, what their expectations are and what their plan is to meet those expectations.


The internet can be a powerful tool that can put you on solid footing with bigger companies. On the other hand, the other companies may have more money to pay for advertising. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind as you analyze your internet marketing strategy.


Advantage of Internet Marketing


- your store is open, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Further Cheap Jimmy Vesey Jersey , your customers are worldwide in reach, and can shop anytime that they want to


- the cost of spreading your message is next to nothing. Emailing your subscription base is more oftne cheaper than sending a letter through the mail


- updating your subscribers can be done almost instantly through email. Visitors to your website can get up to the minute information on each visit. If you are having a sale, your customers can start shopping at the discounted prices literally as soon as they open their email


- if you have an information sensitive business, such as a law firm, newspaper or online magazine Cheap Kevin Shattenkirk Jersey , you can deliver your products directly to your customers without having to use a courier


Disadvantages of Internet Marketing


- online marketing is not free. The cost of software, hardware, wed site design, maintenance of your site, online distribution costs and of course Cheap Chris Kreider Jersey , time, all must be factored into the cost of providing your service or product.


- slightly over 50% of households shop online. While that number will continue to grow, you are reaching less than two out of three households.


- the internet is still regarded as a source of information gathering for the majority of your customers. Of the number of visitors to your site, the vast majority of visitors who are motivated to buy will do so in person. Many people prefer the live interaction when they buy. If you have a small business with one location, this may deter customers from buying.


- easier to have outdated information on your site Cheap Vladislav Namestnikov Jersey , thus timing of updates is critical


- there is no replacement for good old fashioned customer service. The majority of internet marketers lack customer service and inquiry response programs. As a result, many online visitors to your site will already have painted your site as poor service before they have even contacted you. The majority of websites also have poor navigation, which makes it difficult for your visitor to find what they are looking for. Many sites were created with a marketing view, not a customer service point of view.


- is your site secure? Does your customer know this? There are many incorrect stereotypes about the security of the internet out there. As a result, many of your visitors will not want to use their credit card to make a purchase. The fear of having their credit card info stolen is a clear and present danger in the minds of your visitors


- there is a lot of competition for your product already out there. By the time your visitor finds you Cheap Marc Staal Jersey , they have already been clicking many links. Unless they can find what they are looking for quickly, they are gone.


- many web visitors expect something for free. What do you have to offer them?


There are many other pros and cons of internet marketing. Its important for you to consider each when creating your internet marketing strategy. Each of the disadvantages can be overcome, but only if you view the customer experience from the eyes of your customer, not as an internet marketer.

The other day I was having a interesting conversation with an acquaintance,?but it soon turned out to be surprising and unpleasant. The other person blurted out an unwelcome comment, in a tactful manner by pin pointing a personal issue within the conversation.

What did I do? I immediately gave her an answer back within the conversation as well. It was subtle unlike my husband who would stop her dead in her tracks without sugar coating. What I think is wrong with his tactic? Not much,?only that I would prefer it for someone who can't keep their mouth shut all the time. Sometimes people speak without thinking Cheap Mika Zibanejad Jersey , so I like to give them the benefit of the doubt.

What do we have in common? Even though we have different tactics,?we both make an effort to defend ourselves. I'm sure some are wondering what ever happened with turning the other cheek theory? Is just not that healthy, when ever someone tries to make you feel inferior by making sarcastic remarks, name calling, joking at your expense Cheap Mats Zuccarello Jersey , disregarding your opinion etc. it is verbal abuse, and believe it or not it can affect your self esteem a great deal. Next time someone intents to maliciously tear down your confidence,?in a firm voice saydo one of the followings

*stop taking out your problems on me,
*ask the person to repeat the comment *again this usually gets bullies to back down,
*ask if he is having some problems Cheap Henrik Lundqvist Jersey ,
*and my all time favorite ridiculing their opinion and laughing at them
*say what I do is none of your own business
*do leave if you perceive any physical danger
*don't hang or stay around people with abusive personalities

There are many other tactics that can help you stop this behavior. You can choose the method that best fits your personality or situation, but what ever you do make sure you let himher know that their behavior is unacceptable.
