Latest Online Business Model Trends

By Nathir Sufyan


By now, almost everyone who has had anything to do with online marketing is familiar with search engine optimization (SEO) where you configure your website or blog to take advantage of the key words that a person is searching for in their browser.



Many small business owners also have a Facebook page to showcase their product or services there as well, as well as a Twitter and Instagram account. Also, many businesses have had their website optimized and had their location optimized on Google places. However, there are a few other things that have come up lately, that make all of the previous items mentioned seem like child's play.

Online experiences must be personalized and customize for each customer. It must be easily obtainable and freely accessible. This is what the public expects now. This poses a challenge for businesses because customers expect instant results. They want information in real time. Businesses know that if they cannot deliver, the customer can easily find another source, another app, to download and get what they want.

Consumers are increasingly mobile. Whatever message that a business wants to deliver to its customers must be able to reach their mobile devices. Not only that, but functions must be built in so the customer can take action via their mobile devices. Merchants must enable mobile shopping, mobile payment, and anything else that will make it possible for the consumer to interact with the business via mobile devices.

SMS marketing is another method of saturating a market. Another study has shown that 98 per cent of all text messages are opened, just out of curiosity to see what they say. Wouldn't you like a platform like that where you could text everybody in a zip code, and have 98% look at your offer? Both of those ideas are here now and ready to go, all you have to do is have someone set you up for those, and then watch the profits roll in.
