THE DAIRY GAME SEASON 3: WILL THE DIGITAL MARKET COME TO REPLACE THE PHYSICAL MARKET SOME DAY? I WILL LOVE TO SEE YOUR RESPONSE. 100% PAYOUT TO @steemalive. #All4one. #club5050.
INTRODUCTION
A market is defined in social and business studies education as a geographical location (place), where buy and selling and rendering of services is done (carried out) . A market is made up of the following types of persons, buyers and sellers even, service providers.
Now let look at the word digital, digital from the word digits involves the programming of a system with numbers and alphabet to enable a task to be carried out successfully.
Digital has to do with computers, digitalization is a process of converting a hard physical process of producing a product into an easier technical way of doing the same thing but with a better result or product.
Now a digital market can be an online space where people buy and sell goods.

THE DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY.
What we have been used to over a long period of time now is the usual process of going to the market around our locality. Most people don't have the information yet that they is an online platform where we can buy and sell and get services rendered to us.
Remember the popular number 1 Adige, "change is constant" and good quality change is beautiful.
This change that has brought about the digital market is indeed a good change and should be encouraged. In this civilization the buyers and sellers meet on line on the Internet where the buying takes place.
Here , once the product is on the sale list , the buyer goes ahead to place a demand and orders for the product.
With this process of online marketing, the time you would have wasted in going to the market is saved. The energy of walking from home to the market is saved, there is no reason for lining up with people when it comes to buying on line or selling online.
There are no challenges of too much Sun for online sellers and buyers, there are also no challenges of to much water or flood. And most importantly the conflict of buyers and sellers is not there as when a buyer online does not want a product he or she leaves the product and goes for another that he is comfortable with.
When i look at the advantages of the online market when will tend to love to forget shout the local market within his or her territory. But it is obvious that the online market has taken off balance due to some few disadvantages.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE DIGITAL MARKET
Phobia for online marketing : one thing that has affected online marketing is that alot of people are scared of buying things on line because of one or all of the following reasons.
Not getting the product when the order is placed. Most times people prefer to go to a physical market to forget the story of late delivery by online marketers.
High cost of delivery made some people to turn away from online marketers and prefer to just stress themselves and go to the market near by and get their product in a store.
No assurance of getting what you actually want. This is also another major fact people consider after having heard people complain who bought some goods online and the wrong size, or colour was delivered to them.
To avoid such mistakes people now prefer to go and get what the want in a local market in a particular location where they can actually feel with their had that thing which the want to buy.
CONCLUSION.
Having seen the challenges we face with the online platform and the advantage of the online market which has come as a function of civilization will one who thinks that the digital market will soon takeover the physical market be wrong in his thinking?
Remember no challenge is permanent and man today is not looking for what will stress him but save his energy and time. So for me i would say that i think in time to come the online market might not be completely over throne but will become the major market.
Hi @peterabagi,
Thank you for producing such an incisive content.Digital market is gaining much grounds over the past few years.Ibhope it continues because it reduces stress,time wastage and allows buyers and sellers to interract with ease.However, sometimes the pictures of digital products may not be as good as they would be when you purchase them.Thats deceptive advert.

Most times I prefer to go to physical stores like boutique, grocery, supermarket, shopping mall to get what i need, am not a fan of ordering for products online as it usually comes with lots of challenges as you've highlighted in this post.
Great content !
I love your response
