Mass Presentation

Products are typically delivered from stock in 24 hours.

Definition: A simple two-way communication used when purchasing a non complex product or service (i.e. there an exchange of goods for money). Customers typically select their requirement from a list (i.e. products are presented) and then purchase using their credit card.

Business Value: This stage only provides business benefit for brand leaders selling commodity-type products at very competitive prices.

Timescales: Technological developments should soon see this stage providing a short to medium term payback.

Information examples are:

• List of products / services with descriptions including cost.

Tools & Techniques could include:

• Calculator to workout mortgage repayments.
