Responding The Beth and Denise.

Beth & Denise, I totally agree with both of you. Forecasting is an integral method of navigating a company through clear cut parameters of what's the conservative path, and what's the more riskier and prospectively innovative path. I'll use this examplehttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703573604574491682380998264.html?mod=article-outset-box An electric car company is forecasting that the market is going to be strong for more fuel efficient vehicles, and this company,Fisker, has asserted that information and purchased a government possessed EX-GM Mass production plant to produce about 100,000 vehicles a year in Tennessee. This company, by the way, originated in Europe, with designers and owners of Aston Martin, and other exotic car companies ;-/

Electric Cars Response in a debate.

"I disagree that the Internet can't simply be a medium to sell any old product with an eBay account, etc. Take example a car... wait you'll say that people use car fax, and eBay to buy any old car, and to unsophisticated and unintellectual, a number of cars (One is having trouble deciding on purchasing) is not worth going to see first hand at a showroom. Back to My Example.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703573604574491682380998264.html?mod=article-outset-box This is a car company that is purely making hybrid vehicles. The company invested money into purchasing an EX-GM Manufacturing plant that use to mass produce Saturn Ions and Pontiac solstices. TO make a long story short the plant was sold to the government once GM went bankrupt and now "FISKER" purchased the plant. These vehicles will be the first of their brand, line, and kind. Will people purchase them straight from a website? Won't they want to speak with a dealer about maintenance check ups, different financing deals, Take it for a TEST DRIVE? The concept of a "test drive" is fallen onto deaf ears when queried via the Internet. How will people even have their Fisker electric hybrid automobile (Which will run $58,000) maintained, without a licensed and official dealer facility? The Internet is for 2 dimensional information, and not the majority of business services and servicing."

'm having a tough time thinking, from my perception, of marketing campaign that was successful online.
Well, I've never purchased anything online from an advertisement link, or from a banner. I don't click on the advertisements on the right table of search engines (Google). Therefore for me All online marketing is wasteful because it's not up to my standards. Everyone reading this blog should be aware that the Internet wasn't ever conceived, conceptualized, let alone designed to be a retail service. The Internet is designed as an information sharing apparatus. This is very symbiotic with the Amazon Kindle (Yes I'll acknowledge that copyrights are the catalyst which provide users to become subscribers of this service.) The Internet is for information sharing, and is vulnerable to a lot of predators, and unethical corruption. The Internet doesn't produce the goods people are buying from so and on over eBay or google shopping, you're simply sharing information. (People might be fooled, by the luster that the Internet created their anti virus software, or office document applications that they downloaded over the Internet medium, but the truth is that technicians and code writers were producing operating systems for complex computers before they ever intended to get mixed up with the Internet.) What should some one do when Internet's luster of sharing information including coupons that are valid for shopping is found to be wasteful in carbon energy? (These Internet users are produced with lots of resources transported all over the world with lots of resources, It is my sophisticated opinion that advertising is not and will NEVER sustain the Internet's displacement of energy. And the newsflash is that the internet is going to be reintroduced in a short amount of time, and the real money businesses should have been investing in is/was INNOVATION in mass producing, efficiency and business ethics; not all this internet online advertisement. I like this web site: http://digg.com/tech_news/Verizon_s_anti_iPhone_gets_its_first_commercial_Droid_Does. It has sophisticated elements which allow the user to personally rate each element of the site in a polling fashion. The pathway that Internet advertisers might benefit on is if they post an advertisement that virtually and appeals to some one's prospective need for a product or good. All advertising presently is random, in my opinion, and I laugh at ALL advertisements ..ads from the auto industry, the pharmaceutical company, the cosmetic industry.... none of this improves my life.. I want a feng shui approach with the Internet and then the arrogance of these marketing industries will finally put these corps in their places.
