Netflix is a online business that sends DVDs through the mail that you make a list of the DVDs that you would like to watch and they send them directly to your house instead of going to places such as blockbuster.
The advantage of this service is the convienence that you don't have to leave your house to get a movie that you want to watch. Other companies such as blockbuster have adapted this way of business, which leaves Netflix to have to lower prices and provide something that makes them appeal to customers.
The disadvantage to this type of service is that you have to wait for your DVDs, instead of just going out and being able to get what you want when you want it, but this is a small disadvantage.
As a former customer of Netflix i think that they really have a good service to provide, because people are very busy these days that they don't have time to go out and get to the movie store before they close. One thing that Netflix has done to improve their service is provide you to watch the movie or the TV season that you want right on your computer, which is a big plus for people that aren't a fan of waiting for things.
Other companies like Gamefly have adapted this way of doing business, they provide you with Video Games delivered straight to your house. In the end i think Netflix giving you the option to watch movies on your computer is a really good business move.
I grew up walking to blockbuster and renting a movie so it took a bit for me to switch over to netflix. I have to say that it should have been sooner. I really enjoy the service and it's acually really cheap. I also have Xbox live so I'm able to access my account through that. This allows me to instanty watch all kinds of movies.
ReplyDeleteHaving the ability to order a movie while still in the convenience of your own home has increased the renting of movies. This Netflix service is also a good service because it gives an already powerful, Comcast, some competition. I haven't used Netflix, but I will research it for future use.
ReplyDeleteThe company Netflix took advantage of the E-Commerce. People no longer have to leave their house to get movies. Having it online makes it very convenient for customers. They even have little stations at Walmart where you can rent a movie for a few dollars. Blockbuster is starting to go out of business.
ReplyDeleteI have never used Netflix personally but I know they are a great company. I think their idea to send DVD's directly to people's homes was genius. Capitalize on the the laziness of the consumer. People these days just want to make everything nice and easy for themselves. Don't get me wrong, I too am one of the lazy Americans who like Carry-out and missing class to make sure I am at home to retrieve my package from UPS so i wont have to go to the packing center! lol
