Today's market holds a variety of options for consumers. Many users prefer portable options, such as laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones with built-in operating systems. A person desiring to carry his entire music library around now has that option with the advent of MP3 players and other portable media players, such as Apple's innovative iPod.
The Internet does not allow consumers to "test drive" products as they can in a brick-and-mortar store. Creative marketing strategies are needed to lure consumers to a virtual marketplace. And, since personal computers and accessories such as monitors and printers can be readily found in standard stores, shipping costs of online purchases can scare off potential customers. Marketing incentives are a must for Internet sales.
Internet shopping also allows consumers to quickly and easily compare products. In fact, some websites, such as CNET, are dedicated solely to product comparisons, including reviews and pricing. Other important computer industry resources include Best of the Web's Computer Hardware and Computer Software directories.
