Limitations of Internet Marketing

Cons of Internet Marketing 101

face to face

Too much modernizations and shortcuts now in our society made everything seem possible and feasible, especially in the matters of marketing and commercialization. Door to door transactions and face to face dealings became obsolete practice for businessmen and women. Internet marketing became the hottest trend in our ever evolving civilization.People had the complacency that they can have anything they want in just a blink of an eye.

I am writing this article in such vigilance and justification that everything has a limitation and not all things can do you good even on online marketing.

In relation to this,here’s some cons or  negative effects of Internet Marketing from the vendors and customers point of view.

For the internet vendor’s perspective:

  • Internet market is a saturated market and dealing with competitors is a roller coaster ride.
  • Not every person who inquires on your site is really potential buyers.
  • Most of the time they are bogus buyers who just wanted to waste your time and effort.
  • Above all internet marketing lack human interaction and trust in dealer/customer relationship.

For the customer’s perspective:

  • There’s no way for the customers to be able to “test” or “to try on” the product before they purchase it.
  • Basically it is done through internet and the sufficiency of trust is much needed before they’d be able to release a certain amount of money.
  • Lastly, customers get caught with a lot of choices and they end up buying nothing with the thought that it’s very stressing to choose.

I speak for both dealer and customer because I’d been in both roles. This article is not meant to discourage you but rather to make you aware about the cons of Internet Marketing. There is always a limitation for everything. I must agree that Internet Market made other people lives easy. But then some of the others had a fair share of failures and falling in dealing through internet market.
