The realization that technology-based products can be utilized as a cost effective advertising medium has become an accepted fact for most successful large companies. Companies such as Amazon.com and Lands' End have harnessed the power of the internet and email marketing to increase sales. How? They periodically send out email promotions to their customer base to inform them of special promotions. A few years ago, Sears ceased publication of its famous catalog, and many other firms have followed suit. They are using technology today to place their catalogs on the Internet. Radio Shack and Giant Foods have recently placed their weekly circulars online for customers to refer for their weekly savings. Why are they doing this? Successful technology-based solutions can drive traffic to traditional brick and mortar businesses and is not restricted to online shopping.
