What is Online Business Interaction?
Online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have become
essential channels in business strategies. Corporate Social Responsibility
communication faces new challenges in these spaces of the Web 2.0, where
companies can interact with users, generate a brand community, increase their
visibility, and strengthen their position in the market.
Understanding
how to use social media
Use consistency, connections, content and courtesy as the framework company’s
online social media, says Mary Winingham, owner of Mirror Consulting.
How do "relationship marketing" and
business networking relate to one another?
Relationship marketing involves building deep networks strongly rooted
in a bond or connection that is developed over time with other people. Among
the most important connections are those with your referral sources, with
prospects these referral sources bring you and with customers you recruit from
the prospects. These relationships don't just spring up full-grown; they must
be nurtured. As they grow, fed by mutual trust and shared benefits, they evolve
through three phases: visibility, credibility and profitability.
What is the real value of the Internet to your
business?
Can it reduce your expenses; generate new business; help develop new
business opportunities; and improve operations. Will having a website answer my
business needs: provide customers awareness of my products and services; offer
ready information and support; extend my trading hours capability; expand my
markets; increase my income; and, ensure private and secure communication between
me, my staff and my best customers
Hi, everyone,welcome to our blog!!
ResponderEliminarHello! and Welcome to the green team blog- Social network communication and business interaction
ResponderEliminarhello
ResponderEliminarHello, this is the first question
ResponderEliminarDefine online business interaction (if you do not know what it is please explain what you think it means)
to me means doing business via the Internet, this being a channel for communication and the market, it can also be an extension of an existing business.

EliminarAn online business is a company that works virtual. In the case of Amazon-selling portion you need a large warehouse and a bunch of individual to ship items here and abroad.
EliminarI think that this is a safe plataform where business and the community related to it can interact among themselves
EliminarHi everyone!
ResponderEliminarI think that online business interaction is like a new way of business. Obviously it involve online transactions, making business "easier" in some ways like avoid traveling.
Yes, you have a good idea about online business interactions.
EliminarIm agree with you eduardo
EliminarHi Eduardo-Thanks for leading our blog last night:)
EliminarI Think its refer to the communication between two organizations or companies by websites in order to do business
ResponderEliminarYes, it also implies making business between companies, but also to communicate with clients and sell products by internet.
EliminarI'm agree with you arian! thanks! this is also a very important aspect
Eliminaryes i think websites now days are very important because is a way companies know a little bit more about each other

ResponderEliminarOk lets move to the next question, unless someone wants to say something else
ResponderEliminarThe second:
ResponderEliminarWhat do you think are the best channels for online interactions?
Naturally it would have to be the Internet, but most importantly it's how a company builts it reputation. It also comes from what we hear from others where to buy and why...
Eliminari think the best channels is by making a website of your company
EliminarIt has to be online social networks, here you can have access to an enourmous number of persons taking you to this interactions.
EliminarThe best channels for online interactions (in Internet) can be social networks (for some cases) or specialized webpages in order to have a better organization and give a better service.
EliminarYou all are right, is necessary to use the social networks like tools for expand the business, with the social network we have access to a lot of people and also is important to have an own page to describe the company, their mission, objectives,products, etc.
EliminarI'm also agree that social network and creating offical websiates makes the company more reliable to their clients becasue the can have more information about them
EliminarEste comentario ha sido eliminado por el autor.
ResponderEliminarOne of the most effective ways to communicate with clients is online social media.
ResponderEliminarWhen you see advertising on Facebook and Linked-in it reinforces teh ability to convince people to buy products for they assume that what is being advertised is safe and assured to buy from.
EliminarIt is a good plan of marketing
Eliminari agree with that tha is way many people buy things online.
EliminarI think that facebook, twitter, and social networks are a powerfull tool for companies in order to do business because in that way, as Arian says, this is a good channel of communication that can connect companies directly with clients and make contact in order to give them information about their products and services in order to create an brand idea to the client about the products and services of the company
ResponderEliminarI would agree and you can target a specific audience on facebook-especially ages 20-30 yrs.
EliminarBlog content: There are also other social networks useful for doing/ finding business that may interest you: Linkedin,
EliminarFriendster, Amazon or Mercado Libre.
Yes, you are right in the present the most effective ways to communicate is facebook and twitter. Also the companies web pages is a good way to interact with investors, clients and suppliers.
EliminarI also think that by having a profile on Facebook, twitter and other social networks, make a company being more reliable, because you can find all the information you need to make business with them
ResponderEliminarDo you mean that your profile can be targeted by certain online business?
Eliminari mean a company profile, because for example if i want to buy something from apple, but i do not know much about it, and i search on internet they have websites, and a profile and also post from people who had bought in apple, so that would make me be confident that if i buy in apple would be a good investment
EliminarOk lets move to the other question.
ResponderEliminarDo you think that social media helps companies? Why?
ResponderEliminarIn my case, no. I do not really trust on advertisements on social networks. It can work for some companies with most of the people, but for me it does not work.
EliminarAs I study Computer and Systems Engineering I know that phishing, and online frauds start in social networks.
i think that yes they do, because is a way of promote the company, is marketing and people we are all consumers and we are all affect by social media, we trust in social media.
EliminarI understand your point Eduardo but there are ways to verified if a company is trustful or not, and on internet you can find everything
EliminarAn intelligent thing that consumers must is: Go directly to the company's webpage by typing the address in the address bar, and verify that the webpage is secure (HTTPS protocol, VeriSign, and others).
EliminarThey should do that, but most of us usually do not check that things, I think that we need more education in that topics of security in web pages.
EliminarI think it does, mainly because it gives companies a new and potential market
ResponderEliminarYes, social media aids companies for it acts as free and/or paid advertisement. It gets the word out that companies have products and service ti sell.
ResponderEliminarOf course, there are several reasons of why a company should have an online business. These are some:
ResponderEliminarWhile in a shop you need visitor to make a sale, on internet you can do sales by a click.
You can provide customer support more effectively
Make information more easily available to customers.
I believe that social media can either break and/or make a company more desirable and/or popular to the general public to the publicity it brings.
ResponderEliminarI think that social media helps the companies because their advertising is more effective specially in facebook. But it also can harm the company reputation, because of the exchange of information between costumers.
ResponderEliminarYes, because in that way the clients or target market could be more "in touch" with the companies, I mean by, for example... when I'm in facebook I saw those advertisemnt of companies who try to sell us products and I always rembember what do they say, also official facebook websites of companies that my friends are subscribed, can give me reliability that this company could be good, because If I saw that some close friend of my like that company facebook page, it means that it could be a good option, so I think social media helps companies because for me its like a word of mouth advertising
ResponderEliminarAlso,you can open 24 hours a day
ResponderEliminarBuilding a web site does not require big investments
anf by internet you can instantly become a global player.
that is way we all have to do a good research of the company instead of believe in the first thing we find
ResponderEliminarAnd finally we have the last question,
ResponderEliminarDo you know companies that uses online interaction as the main tool for his business??
in mexico we have the case of mercado libre.
ResponderEliminarHello Jocelyn, Hope you are well. Can you expand on this point I do not know who mercado libre is...
EliminarIs the same that ebay but mexican version
EliminarMercado Libre is like eBay. You can sell and buy products online, without going to the physical store.
EliminarThanks Gabby for the explanation.
Eliminarhaha you are rigth, but I think that is not only for Mexico,its for all Latin America
Eliminarhi miss thanks and i hope you are doing well too.
EliminarMercado libre is website where you can buy any kind of articles in mexico . clothes, make up, shoes, electric devises, animals, everything, and it is very popular because its system is realy safe and also because you can find new things and things that have already being used, also because anyone can sell and buy things
I thik Mercado Libre and ebay are a good examples of online interactions
EliminarI think that with this comparasion you are undertaking mercado libre, they two might have similar business plataform, but they are not the same
EliminarYou are rigth Daniel, I forgot that, sorry.
EliminarI know a company that uses an internal network for communication between employees. For advertising uses facebook and also they have their own web page and you can buy from there.
ResponderEliminarAnother good example of this is what Apple is doing with Itunes, this is an excellent social network based business plataform.
ResponderEliminari am agree with you armando itunes is a good example of online business
EliminarAccording to a new report from computer giant, Dell, 75% of B2B companies will only use the social media for feedback and product development/revision.
ResponderEliminarAs you see the online interaction is already an excellent way to do business.
Online interaction is an amazing thing, because vendors and clients can have a better communication. This way vendors know from a direct source how good or bad the products are for clients.
EliminarThat´s right is another advantage of online business :)
Eliminarnikefootball.com as official website offer you a lot of products by internet, also they have the option of creating your own shoe by internet in order to give your taste and preference, and this is by online sitting in the chair of your desk
ResponderEliminarThis last minutes are for feedback. We hope everyone can give us a comment about the blog, so we can improve it.
