Online Shopping is Convenient

Online shopping has become a nightmare for retailers. Value-chain stores are losing foot traffic, which becomes detrimental to the market as well as the employees. Customers are shopping online for all types of reasons such as: convenience, avoiding overcrowded stores, price, and the variety of choices online. Retailers have laid off employees as well as shut down multiple stores. The amount of money it costs to maintain and up keep a facility is outweighing the profit coming in. Retailers have converted to more online products. For example, Macy’s has closed about one hundred stores; however, their online traffic stays steady. To combat these changes, stores have improved their customer service. Customers have stated that they enjoy the experience they receive when shopping for a product. Product development and improved training techniques have been instilled in employees to better serve their customers.

This video is an exceptional method of formatting a business letter. The speaker gives the viewers an appropriate approach to writing a business letter, so that he/she may give a positive impression to whomever. The speaker is able to go in depth of the particular elements, providing examples for each. Although the video is detailed with examples, some of the text on those were too small. Moreover, this is an informative and imperative video for anyone in the professional field.

Informative Writing! Why?

Informative WRITING

Today's topic is on informative writing. While writing may all seem the same, the purpose will change the meaning. With informative writing, it is used to educate on a certain topic. This can be done through gathering more information on that concept. Important key factors are to outline and structure properly with a beginning, middle, and conclusion. This video is worthwhile for beginning writers as well as seasoned writers. I appreciated the originality of the video, the speaker was able to keep viewers engaged by the change in frequency of her voice. Also, the information given was simple and did not include dynamic words that were hard to understand without a dictionary. However, she could improve on the visuals because they did become repetitive.
