JB Hi-Fi Limited basically operates and manages lots of collaboration for a marketing campaign and designing websites, websites designing, content delivery, social media promotional activities have been becoming very supportive in managing marketing activity for business services, but they need proper corporations with team and technology.

Now, more than ever, it’s easier to miss opportunities and emerging trends (and ride the bandwagon) to create engaging content for our clients

Social Media is a great tool to get the word out but you need to support it with content and resources that provide legitimacy to your product or service. The average consumer these days seems to check on reviews for everything before purchasing anything for that matter (Clarke, 2012). Selling and buying of websites are the most trending topics that you will come across the internet. A lot of people dealing with such business have claimed to earn higher profits (Kasemsap, 2018)
Demonstration of research skills using academic literature and integrating the ideas to the information technology issues
Any small-scale business has the ability to make capital returns around 20% – 30% of the amount you have invested. Buying a website instead of a physical store can help investor gain profit for a long-term as the evaluation of the asset is based on its trend. Since it is a digital age; a website will give a higher ROI than a physical store (Brannon, 2017). The e-business Assets portal enables you to choose an ideal website that you would like to run. Hence, one should buy only that website which is doing well with excellent traffic on the website. The EBA website consists of established businesses ranging from multiple industries with consistent traffic on the website. If one is planning to run an online business, must remember that it’s a lot of effort to get traction and beat the competitors in the industry (Trang, et. al., 2016).
A realistic goal will help you become successful in a long run. Ex: e-bay, Amazon, flipchart, Alabama, ticket booking websites (in their case, suppliers upload their goods and buyers pay for delivery completely online) Ex: Factory automation, optimization of the process flow, supply chain management. JBH Company should make their clear target to achieve their aim and reach a potential customer.
1. Virtual buying
From browsing through products to the final act of the purchase, customers of e-commerce stores go through various processes of comparing and evaluating. AI is extremely helpful in these situations where customers need and crave information to justify their purchase. AI powers virtual assistants, or bots and apps that provide customers with information to help them during the buying process.
Implications and Recommendations for JB Hi-Fi Limited
2. Customer conversation
A meaningful conversation is crucial to making a strong connection with any customer. With a large number of people being entertained by your reps, it’s hard to expect them to always be on top of their game. Fortunately, AI exists to help them do better (Koo, et. al., 2016). Voice recognition, natural language processing and chatbots are AI innovations in customer experience that can help companies ensure that every conversation is relevant and responsive to the client’s needs (Mazzarol, 2015).
While making marketing plans, it is essential to define targets to the customers. A strategic approach will be helpful in paying off marketing pay which leads to handling a bunch of marketing and promotional activities. Selling buying on online business over social media would support the content and resources in order to provide legitimacy related to product and services.
Writing a professional report career development report may contain flowing things such as considerable points, recommendations and valid information to prepare for the career in information technology and online business. Such kinds of the report are a continual process in order to manage learning, professional tactics, leisure and progress through the work. It is known as career planning and development services which help the people to make immediate decisions regarding technology, training and profession. Professional report for online business and professional career mat opportune you to meet all your needs and make effective contacts which help in work in future (Turban, et. al., 2017).
Capacity to write professional report helps in getting proper knowledge and information about business and career. Organizations will have to expand our team and bring in people who have a background in data science and practical experience (or at least in-depth understanding) of leveraging data. The business report helps the JBH Company to believe in e-commerce websites and making their easy use in an effective manner (Chatzoglou & Chatzoudes, 2016). There is just a scant few businesses today that does not have a website to bring customers to them or to actually conduct e-commerce sales directly over the Internet. But in this seemingly egalitarian market, giant players like Google, Amazon and eBay have emerged and are using their massive reach and deep pockets to crush more and more small businesses.
E-enabled business is the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in support of some of the activities of business which will spread their reachability.
Ex: Airlines, IRCTC, Flipkart’s retail (these are using technology but not completely automating the process) (N7Z et. al., 2016). With JB HI-FI Limited, coming along (for whom social media and apps are a primary form of interaction with businesses online), e-business and/ e-marketing are becoming the future of businesses. Eventually becoming just content producers can be a great pleasure if people do not keep up with the increasingly data-driven marketing needs of our clients. They believe that goes for any more marketing business /agency in the industry. If they don’t develop the capacity to leverage more data, they’ll just be left with handing such projects (Sharpley, 2018). And they are seeing new start ups cropping up here, and most of them are solely building their business on writing content. They will end up in this dilemma. And they’ll primarily be competing on price. Because creating and managing marketing campaigns require a lot of collaboration between teams (web design, content, graphics, seo). Without people who specialize in analyzing and leveraging data on board, could be read. Develop a marketing plan that defines your target client/customer. A strategic approach to marketing tends to pay off more then just paying for a bunch of marketing campaigns. Social Media is a great tool to get the word out but you need to support it with content and resources that provide legitimacy to your product or service.
