Social Media for Business

Nowadays, social media has broadened its content. It is no longer social or only as communication platform for two or group of people. Social media now has become one important platform of marketing in business. Researches show that 80% or people are now on social media. Therefore, social media has become functional to market products, promote brands, connect to current customers, and broaden customers and to increase brand exposure.  

For the past few years, companies have started to follow the trend of using social media platform in order to expand their business. They may have their own websites, but given the fact that majority of people surf through social media hours and hours per day, social media almost replaced the role of company’s official website. Facebook and Instagram are two of the social media platform that I think put an important role on helping companies in Australia particularly to expand their business these days. Their audiences ranges of all ages, backgrounds, occupations, and interests. Therefore, their ability to filtering community and interest gives advantages to companies to reach their target market or found by targeted audience. And while now that everything become accessible online, people tend to access products or services online particularly through social media.

3D Printing On Worlds Economy

“The process has blossomed” - Chuck Hull

In fact, 3D printing has become popular in the past few years. People started to find the need of creating prototypes with 3D printers. I would like my own custom made jewellery. An Architect would love to use 3D printing technology to build their physical models that are to complicated to be made with traditional method. Therefore, some other people find an opportunity to fill in the gap on the market. Some offer the service, and some buy the service to create their custom made object. 3D printing system has provided platform for new business and for manufacturers to collaborate with the end customers.

         With this cycle in the market going ton, 3D printing could possibly take part in world’s economy and on how people think. People think they can create and custom made whatever they want instead of looking through available products. This might be good for consumers, but it is disruptive for traditional manufacturers. People will have the tendency to 3D printing rather than buy something from the market. Manufacturer’s demand will decrease slowly due to the ability of the customers to print whatever they want. Hence, rather than trying to fight back the latest technology development of 3D printing, manufacturers might better try to move quickly and innovatively. They should be able to catch up with public demands and supply chains for them.
