Level 3 BTEC Business, Unit 33 - P2 How businesses use the Internet.

Example two:

Advertising is another way businesses use the Internet. Web pages are essentially like billboards that are transmitted right into the homes of consumers. Companies pay websites for ad space where they can attempt to entice consumers to buy their products or visit their website. Furthermore businesses can advertise through social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook to give existing customers a view of their latest products. An advantage of web advertising over advertising in media like newspapers, magazines and television is that advertisements can contain web links that allow consumers to purchase goods within a minute or two of seeing the advertisement. In this case Pizza hut uses advertising to allow more customer base, and the advertisement is done through social media sites, billboards, leaflets and many more. Pizza hut has their own Facebook page which advertises a lot of special offers and their latest products.

Example three:

Many companies use the Internet to generate sales. Companies often have online sales systems that customers can use to browse products and place orders by entering credit card information. Online shopping is convenient for customers, since they can shop at anytime from anywhere, without having to visit a specific retail location. Online shopping also allows customers to compare prices between different vendors quickly and easily. For this instance Pizza hut use online systems for customers to access the menu, and order online to make it easier for the customers to order efficiently.

Companies may also use the Internet to interact with customers. For instance, some companies have social media pages on sites like Facebook and Twitter, where they can post news and information to keep loyal customers informed about the company's activities. The Internet also allows companies to get feedback from customers via email submissions or web-based surveys. Companies can even use the Internet to recruit employees, either through an official website or by posting job openings on aggregate job sites such as Monster and CareerBuilder. Pizza hut uses social media sites such as Facebook to reply back to their customers as form of customer services, furthermore they have their own website where a customer can email them on improvements and complaints.

Tesco

Example One:

Communication is one of the primary uses of the Internet in business. Email allows workers to communicate quickly with one another, business partners and clients. Unlike phone conversations, emails can contain hundreds of pages of documents and figures relevant to business communication. Using email to communicate data can save on the costs of printing and sending physical papers. Businesses can also conduct meetings over the Internet using video conferencing software, which can potentially save on the cost of business travel. In this case Tesco uses communication to allow the employees to communicate to suppliers and other contracted firms through emails or any online situation which is a good factor as it saves time and money.
