posting the images and benefits of the services and products that can entice them to purchase
the products.
Strength – Video is considered to be the primary communication tool that is used by
the business for internet traffic. Around, 80% of the web traffic is predicted to be based on
vide by 2019 (Hodges, 2017). This is because it provides clear information to the client as the
business help customer to know how to use the service properly. In addition to this, video as
the communication tool reduce the cost of the business.

point of any discussion. This technology can raise tension and frustration level specifically at
the moment when the use is racing against time to finish an important task or waiting to take
important decision.

analysing the quality and feedback of other customers.
Besides this, the good reason for using a blog by the marketer is it provides better
return on investment. Businesses that blog make around 67% more leads in comparison to
those who do not blog. When it comes to creating business’s internet strategy for
communication, the website converts in becoming a hub for other brand building campaigns.
All the post that is created by the business is another indexed page on their website, which
helps in allowing customer to find the business when they search it online.

medium to change that appearance into voice that could be heard by pertinent people. When a
business posts a blog, holding information related to the service or product, it can bridge the
gap between customer and their ignorance (Kim & Kuljis, 2010). Hence, blog support in
increasing the website traffic while enhancing the knowledge and delivering solution to their
doubts.
Weakness – The business owners generally have limited time which is the major
issue in the route of attaining something that is required. This is a big disadvantage for the
bloggers because it is one of the time consuming communication tools.
