I remember the change from using pen for essay papers in old times to computer-typing essay now in today makes a difference. Even for the business in today’s world, it is important. What I learned from TIM 302, Information Systems Technology, Professor Lawler had been talked about technological innovation had a great impact to travel agency, hotels, and restaurants. A lot of travel agency was shut down because lesser and lesser people would need someone to plan for their trip, buying flight tickets, or make hotel reservations because the internet makes this world simpler for the new generation, but the Baby Boomer and the Generation X, as what I talked about a generation will end, the business should keep in updated in order to survive in this industry. What I saw in the Air & Sea Travel Center, they do have the use of telephone for communication, they have shared various tour information, they have printer and fax. Although, the business website has various updated tour information, but online user is not able to book the tour through the website that they need to meet the Tour consultant in person in order to purchase the tour package. As social media becoming a tool to attracting new customer, Air & Sea Travel Center should improve social relationship with online users. When I look at the reviews on yelp.com, there are couple 1 or 2-star review about the business, I saw most of other organization would
Firms today are showing a great interest in finding effective ways to attract and retain customers, simply because e-commerce is moving quickly and the competition has been rapidly increasing throughout the years. As a result, most of the firms are focusing more in the development of their e-marketing methods since it can form a better relationship between the customer and the firm and possibly lead to stronger consumer loyalty. E-marketing is also a main focus as it has become increasingly and internationally popular throughout recent years, since it is a very fast and easy way to portray messages and promote company products and services. It is also an entertaining way for companies to show their individuality and range of offerings in terms of products, services, and communications. Essentially, e-marketing allows for firms to create strong ties with consumers, engaging them, and allowing them easy access from almost anywhere. This project is going to examine Nike’s e-marketing environment through the analysis of Porter’s five forces, to eventually show that firms can face both threats and opportunities in a marketing environment (Kotler et al, 2001). Furthermore, it is going to illustrate how Nike uses sources of social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to entice new customers to its own web-site. It does so by providing motivational videos including famous professional athletes wearing their gear. It also promotes its services by providing photos of products, along with detailed descriptions of their functionality, along with inspiring messages. This report is also going to show the relation of some of the eight different factors called the 8C’s to what Nike’s marketing department has done in order to obt...
Many people may argue the fact that social media has increased the efficiency of the way we conduct business. However, like most things there is always a negative side; the very existence of these social platforms such as “Facebook” has brought about a desensitized society. Furthermore, the leaders of present times have gotten so used to social media that if the system was to crash it would literally have most of them pulling out their hair. I am not disputing the fact that social media has brought about a positive, yet momentous impact on the way we live today, but people have gotten so used to their use that we have personally stopped interacting with each other physically. Let me reason my point by asking you to pause for a minute and take a look around, what is it that you see? I am sure if not in a room by yourself that you’re probably gazing at a group of people that failed acknowledge you as you walked in, or you were the one that was too fixated on your personal gadgets that you’ve yet to realize you aren’t the only one sitting at this desk.
YouTube plays a vital role in transmitting messages to the public. Hotel and Airline companies have used YouTube to acquire a variety of customers or many people who show interest in their services. YouTube allows quick and easy browsing with the use of channels. This allows the public to gain an insight on the company and their environment. Hotel and Airline channels have the ability to obtain millions of viewers if a message is conveyed creatively and effectively. Jamie Izaks, PR Manager for Hyatt Hotels Corporation, states, “You have to be creative. I certainly wouldn’t put up traditional PR material such as video news releases or conventional interviews. You need to strive for something that is both promotional and entertaining” (Cobb). With YouTube, it is easy to host videos on websites by using links and embedded codes that YouTube provides (Pergolino). An array of YouTube videos has created a buzz since the founding of YouTube in 2005 (Chen, Hurley, an...
Different ranges is by all accounts with the new media, including the properties of new media itself, attributes of using new media, mixed media impact, and new media innovation, research on media change and how all these mix together. Social media contribute to significant changes within corporate arenas of citizenship (Whelan, Moon, & Grant, 2013). It has be said that information and communication technologies establishments retain significant capabilities with which to empower individual inhabitants to partake within public arenas of social conscience. Accordingly, our argument is not that social media make citizens, individually and/or collectively, more powerful than corporations and their stakeholders.

growth in usage by both consumers and businesses. The unique capabilities of the Internet has captured the attention of the marketing community. While a growing number of companies have or are interested in developing an Internet presence, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about it and the potential ethical issues associated with its use as a marketing medium. Although many businesses are acknowledging the importance of a Web site, but the potential ethical issues related to marketing on the Internet still having an uncertainty in this situation. Much less attention has been given to the business community's perceptions of the ethicalness of this new medium. The unique interactivity of the Internet has captured the marketing community's interest as a way to develop and enhance customer relationships and establish greater brand identity. Thus, many commercial services have become available on the Internet that allow consumers and organizations to interact electronically. These services include booking airline tickets online, buying books and compact discs, and receiving stock market information.
