While more and more online shoppers are increasingly aloof in terms of loyalty to particular companies, more and more companies are turning to cheaper, in-house and, yes, often less effective strategies for marketing. This is in turn oft leading to even more reasons for customers to look elsewhere for the products and services they want, and thus help perpetuate the cycle. The nature of how society seeks, finds, decides on and markets what’s for sale, is changing dramatically.

 

Wild West of e-commerce

In today’s PR climate, the marketability of products and services can be unclear, even if their quality is not. Who you know and how you send messages still matters.
