Are internet businesses more suitable for reaching a wider customer base?

[HayKay]

Yeah they're a means of reaching a wider customer base but you have to do it right. There are processes and systems that have to be set up to ensure that you're properly positioned for your customers to see and reach you

 

[Setho]

A business can be more suitable and be more ready for success if you are going to give it a presence both offline and online because both offer different dimension and are important to business

 

[Essy]

At the moment the internet and technology is everything. We rely on it for every small thing that we may do throughout the course of a day and naturally so as this is very important for finding out information and even for shopping. However, are internet businesses a better way to succeed that regular stores that have a physical location?

If you think about it, when you have a physical store, you are limited to the people within that area and therefore your customer base extends to those that are within the area and those that may be passing through the area on the off chance. However, if you have an internet business you are able to reach a much broader customer base that could even be global if you decide to offer that as a shipping option, which could be much better for your business success and expansion as well.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think a physical or internet business is bound to generate you more success?

I agree with yiu that internet helps to reach a wider scope of audience in providing goods and services to the public, that's even one of the reasons why we have internet, I believe. To reach people around the world.

Internet business is very good and many people can be reached through the internet but opening a store for your business is the best
There are some advance people who don't use the internet, they only go to the store to buy whatever they need.

Combining both might actually be the best for an entrepreneur. Most physical businesses have online stores and stores and this has helped people to make orders and enquires about products from the comfort of their homes.

I agree with you on this, during the COVID-19 period, alot of business without an online base suffered alot and some are still struggling to come up again even till now. Am sure you also experienced the lockdown in your location right?

A business that don't uses the internet to market her product in the follow years will have to work harder and compete to gain grounds.

The internet will help a business meet a wider range of people

Definitely true. The internet is more like a cheat code, it gives one an edge over businesses only conducted offline. Before a business succeed now, it must go digital

Having a physical store is good no doubt, it gives your business integrity but an internet business no doubt brings more traffic, almost everyone is online and on social media.
It also depends on the type of business you're running

It is not even a topic of debate. The crowd one get from the internet is unlimited. You would do your business good to bring them online

One of the things the internet has brought to business is that, the leverage on how to properlly target your audience and do an actual marketing and awareness from the comfort of wherever you are is actually amasing.the benefit is just too good to the business world.

 

[Good-Person]

Internet is very important in a business, because many people this days like to buy things from the comfort of their homes, though you can have a physical shop and still advertise on the Internet to have an online presence in other to increase your customers. The internet really help to reach more customers,

I live in a country where internet is used by sophisticated business owners only. According to my estimate, around 70-80 percent of small businesses do not use social media or internet to promote business. I live in a Tier 3 country.

Well, except you are working online.
Offline businesses have little or nothing to do with internet and all.
To an extent though, it determines the success of the businesses that require it.

Yes. The internet allows us to reach out to more customers.
Therefore, businesses that are more internet inclined are likely to get more customers than the ones without.

 

[kinqzbitz]

Of course online actually brings more. Customers because to you are Connected to different people around the world but then I think it is far more profitable to advertise both offline and online

 

[Smiles20]

A very good number of the people in the world today use one form of social Media platform or the other . This makes it completely ideal for anyone to market his business because a lot of people are going to be seeing it.

 

[Sotherefore]

Yes and it is also one of the most effective form of advertisement depending on the platform you are using .there are platform that can give you a genuine and constant traffic based on what they are interested on.

I totally agree with you. Giving your business online presence exposes your business to millions. Owning a shop or an office shows how serious you are

 

[Toyoabasi]

Well, except you are working online.
Offline businesses have little or nothing to do with internet and all.
To an extent though, it determines the success of the businesses that require it.

I believe businesses that have an online presence are more able to amass a larger customer base than those without an online presence.

 

[Justin]

Yes, if you have an online store and if your store is based in the US you can sell your products to the UK. If you have a physical shop in New York, you can't even sell to Washington DC let along selling in London.

 

[Good-Person]

Internet-based business is good for reaching a specific kind of audience because even during such times, many people do not have a concept of conducting business online or buying products online.

 

[Kaffyfolla]

You can curate products from one or more suppliers into your own online store under a theme that focuses on a specific niche, like gear for yoga enthusiasts or water bowls for dog owners. When a customer buys a product from you, the order is sent to your supplier, who fulfills it on your behalf. However, you are still responsible for your own marketing and customer service.

 

[Shigobad2020]

Yes it is. Most business can reach their wide range of customer base through the internet because that's basically where when turns to in search of product not easily seen in the physical market. So using internet is more like bringing your customers close without no distance interference.

The use of Internet has been seen as the best suitable way to reach a wide range of customer base Because offline advertisement is not enough for gaining customers but the use of internet has been helpful .

 

[Grandeur]

Compared to other means of reaching customers, internet provides a more vast space for meeting potential clients because it is accessible from anywhere in the world.
