Can your business succeed without internet?

[Sodiq]

As we all know that internet and technology has taken over the world, and the easiest and quickest way to generate customers and promote your business is through digital marketing.

Nevertheless, some business does not have steady internet and technology especially in a developing countries. As a result they do not have online presence which to me they are missing alot because internet provides businesses the platform to connect with their customers and promote their products.

I want to hear your view on this open ended topic. Personally, I don't think a business can succeed without the aid of internet simply because the word is digital.
How about you?

From my point of view, a business can actually do well without the need of internet promotion. Although, the internet is needed for getting valuable and huge amount of customers, one has to not rely solely on the internet for getting promotions. If you do offline services like selling of provisions, a POS business and other little business, I don't think you need an internet promotion. But if you render digital services and other internet based business, yes you would need to make some promotions in order to get leads and customers. Come to think of those who do freelancing jobs, they rely on improving their online presence because that's where they get most of their customers. Or imaging those who are website owners and need visitors on their sites, they won't only rely on offline engagement, they need to promote their blog page online so as to get a good number of visitors and earn a reasonable amount of money. Online promotion is ideal and a perfect way to get your business or freelancing jobs moving. So my answer to your question is YES because you need online promotion for internet based business and NO for offline business and jobs.

Their are businesses that doesn't need online presence to operate fine and make steady profit, those businesses can be advertised offline, and it will still attract customers. Those who are selling locally and dealing with agricultural products can still sell their products well and make profit, it doesn't require them to advertise online. Because such business can sell offline without being marketed online since delivery is limited, they need to be sold within a given demographic and not selling in distance location, unless better offers come through. Those who are selling clothes, and cosmetics without having the mindset of shipping accross the border can still attract customers without online presence and make steady profit. But when it comes online and gain massive online presence it will definitely fly and attract bigger sales. At this point in time, online community is on the uptrend, and people are exploring online to make money, advertising their products online and selling in different locations, which makes them sell faster without renting a shop, just staying at the comfort of their home and dragging shipment to their customers within a given location that isn't accross the country for those who are operating locally and not internationally.

It is not totally true that businesses need social media to succeed. The internet has been for a long time but it's becoming more influential these days, that doesn't make it the only means to publish your business or to make your business successful.
People have been doing business and excelling even before the existence of the internet. People get to meet their clients face to face and that has been one of the fears of entrepreneurs these days they want to get more audience without getting to meet up face to face so they spend extra to gather audience, they spend extra for various websites or affiliates to advertise their business for them.

Even these days are people who doesn't know much about doing business online or connecting with clients online yet they are very successful and wealthy.
They made effort and got a good result even without the net.

I'm not against the internet neither am I not supportive of those who feel doing their business outside the internet is better for them, my own opinion is whichever way you are good at can make you successful.

Back in the days, there where alot of business owners who had to access to the internet, and they where doing pretty well. Even in our present generation today, there are so many business owners who do not make use of the internet, yet the business is doing just fine. Though the line of business you are into is also another factor, there are some business which relies heavily on the internet. A perfect example is affiliate marketing.

The success of businesses depend on many factors and internet may be one of them but never the decisive factors. There are many other factors that can determine the success of businesses apart from the internet. After all there are many businesses that have thrived even before the proleferation of internet and there are some businesses that will not even need internet before they become successful.


The fact is that it is not only the introduction of internet to our business that will make it successful but the effective usage of internet. There are many people that have internet introduced to their businesses but still they are not recording success. There are many reasons for this and the most pronounced among them is that some people don't know how to use the internet to their own advantages.

The only advantages that are associated with the usages of internet is that it makes our business known to the world. We can be at the corner of our office while our business is being traded in the farthest place ofntjr world. This has made businesses have much customers through out the world. We still need to take cognizance of the fact that it is convinient.

Internet is one of the global means of communication today, for a business to compete favourable well among it different competitors then they must adopt to change in technology and innovation. Before the advent of technology or the use of internet business have been surviving one way or the other. It is still very possible for business to survive without the use of Internet but the only problem is that the business will not be able to compete well among it other competitors. The use of Internet is very key to the growth and development of any business as it help the business in so many ways. It help in promoting the company products across boarder, it help in bringing the customer close to the company as they provide a better medium to communicate, customer can order for good even at the comfort of their zone, they can also make enquiries about a particular product they tend to buy. Internet can also be use to improve on the company products. The company can carry out research of how to improve on old products base on customer demand or develop a new product for an existing market. Internet should be encourage in all organization to enable them compete well

There are so many businesses which grow well without internet ads. Most offline business even have no advertisement on the radio or TV but yet people patronize on their products. So I see it as most business can grow without online or the internet advertising and all you need is to brand yourself and that is all.

Without any doubt, the Internet is more valuable and important in the present era. No business can be running without involving the Internet, because selling and buying have been done online nowadays. It may be difficult for an offline business that does not take to online to succeed.

we are all familiar with the fact that technology and modernization is slowly taking over the business and financial world and so majority of businesses today I'm making use of the internet to make their business to be showcased and advertised worldwide what does even have online platforms and websites for their business so that orders and enquiry could be placed by customers and clients in different angle of the world . The question whether a business could survive today without the internet is actually pretty simple to answer . of course a business today can survive even if it doesn't go online , but you must understand that the rate at which an online business would sell and make profit will be more higher than a business who only exist offline .

The internet have actually or really made it easy for majority of offline business owners to showcase and advertise their business not only to the environment in which they are situated but also to individuals living in different countries of the world international . Majority of prominent and well-known commercial Enterprises that existed offline today and known as a result of going also online , it is also important that your services must be unbeatable and also the product or commodity in which you sell online must be of high quality .

Business have been in existence even before the invention of the internet and all this business that has been in existence then were really progressing and their progress was not because there was no internet connection.

After all internet connectivity comes recently , I think that was around 2005 or so when phone was invented and since then a lot of people start seeing the need to advertise their products on the internet and to have a Facebook or Instagram page to market their product and so on, but this does not generally determine the success of a business . It is just the personal decision of a business owner to decide if they are to take their business extra miles or to just focus in the offline aspect of their business.

Well it is quite possible for you to survive perfectly without adding internet to your business and a lot of people are doing it. They will choose to focus in the offline advertisement and probably this is really helping them to progress in their business.

Internet can really help your business grow faster in most cases and this will depend on the type of business you are starting because not all business are good for internet adverts

Although business has been there since before the life of now so if you want to I'll do it possible for you to post your online business without using the internet but without using the internet you can not get enough customers that will purchase your business so you can post online to get more members or more customers to view your status and to get and see your goods without using the internet it will cause low self-esteem and your business will not develop fast you can only sell or make your business without using the internet through does a local business that's called a local business you can do a business without you posting on Internet you can start a business with the internet or offline the internet like you selling provision something like drinks or and Walter and so on if you want to start a business without posting your goods online for sale you can actually start a local business called the local marketing business you can sell something like all those little little things you want to sell like some things like soft drink and so on so forth so if you want to start a business without posting online although business has been existing before the internet arrives

In this era I think it is difficult to run your business without online because everyone use internet for their business

 

[SuperNerd]

In the olden days it might be possible, but I doubt if any business can survive without the use of internet or having online presence nowadays. And yes, technology has taken over the businesses and the world generally, alot of business owners and services are using internet to promote their products, their company and even using this same internet to acquire new customers. As you already mentioned above that the easiest and quickest way to generate customers and promote ones business is through internet, therefore, a business owner who does not has online presence would be living a lot on the table for the competitors who has online presence for his business.
