Five Reasons Why Internet Marketing is More Powerful than Traditional Marketing
Internet marketing is more effective than traditional marketing. Let's look at the five reason why that is so.

firms may offer browsing capability but are not e-commerce enabled)
approximately half of them peruse retail sites to comparison shop and once they
find something they like drive to the retailer's local shop to make the
