Network marketing is a business that relies heavily on communication, so every advance in communication technology has a positive effect on its bottom line. These advances have made network marketing an international business, moving billions of dollars of products and services each year.
When the industry began, the telephone was the only form of instant communication. The advent of fax machines, conference calling, and computers in the early 1970s and 1980s were significant factors in the growth of the industry. These technologies lowered the cost of getting information from one place and person to another and sped up the time needed to get this information to the public.
In the 1990s, fax-on-demand, prerecorded conference calling, cellular phones, and portable computers became increasingly popular, less expensive, and faster than ever, greatly aiding the growth of network marketing. But all of these advancements combined don’t equal the impact of the Internet on the networking industry. The Internet is making network marketing a powerful and profitable business force in the 21st century.
One major advantage of the Internet is the implementation of targeted e-mailing. With a single click of a button, a sender can transmit a message to a prearranged list of recipients, all of whom have in some way been targeted as potential clients. The sender can broadcast new products or services, publicize important information, and set up a system for ordering products. In addition to its advantage of instantaneous speed, e-mail is inexpensive and accessible to most households in the U.S.
