In Response to Christine's Post

Christine's Question: If you were a business owner would you look to advertise your business online?  What benefits do you see from online advertising?


As someone who wants to be a business owner sometime in the future, I will definitely look at advertising online because the internet is so highly used and it would be a great way for people to learn about my business. I would want to have my business as the first to come up on Google and if possible, as a side ad on Facebook, just so that the most amount of people would see it.


There are many advantages to online advertising. Without online advertising, many companies would not be known. Commercials are not a worthy way to advertise anymore because we have technologies like DVR and TIVO, which allow us to fast-forward through commercial breaks and there are websites like Netflix, which are completely commercial free. This would no longer be a useful way to advertise a company, but online advertising reaches many people and is pretty unavoidable.


If you were to advertise online, what websites would you link to in order to get the most results?

Do you think that this product will be a hit or do you think it is a dangerous direction for technology? Would you buy this product?
