Christmas Made Easy ; Thanks E-commerce
Well, Christmas is coming up and my family takes that very seriously. There is nothing more important than all of us getting together and enjoying the holiday season with some spirits and some laughs. Along with those activities, church, eating etc… comes another very important aspect of Christmas, shopping!
Being a college student shopping is always a little hard for me, due to the fact that I have no money. So, this year I figured I would be a little bit smarter, and shop early before my entire checking’s account is empty. I figured I would buy my immediate family gifts now, so I could get them something really nice. Little did I know, this only took some right clicks and a short period of time, all due to E-commerce and online catalogs.
My family is really into the outdoors, excluding my mom. So I figured I would buy every one some very nice fleece shirts that would be warm in the winter. I wanted to know where I could get them, so I searched Cabelas on Google. Immediately, this took me to the home page and allowed me to search and shop online. I was done in twenty minutes. I picked out four gifts, and now I have no worrying to do for the next eight weeks, when it come to my brothers and my dad’s Christmas gifts.
By shopping online for these gifts, it has just been another perk of E-business. On the website link above, which is where I shopped, you will be able to see how easy and effective this E-business is. This link will provide a full online catalog, showing all of the products you would wish to see, as well as let you buy them on the spot. I did not really know that I would be able to do this. But some companies, other than Cabelas, can often use forms of internet advertising to let people know of their services. This can be done by pop-up ads, email advertising, electronic brochures, or even news and chat room group postings. This is all sounds crazy, but I would bet money that the companies who use these forms of E-advertising make more money. If I ever would have seen a pop-up for Cabelas, I would have instantly clicked on it and seen what they had to offer, because of my outdoors background.
This all was possible do to the perks of E-business and E-commerce. I love sharing stories like this one to all fellow bloggers. It really does show how lucky we are to have the internet. My life, especially this year, has been made a lot easier due to E-businesses. When something personal like this happens, it is fun to think of what I have learned about information systems, and compare them to my life
