From my personal perspective, one example that appropriately represents the importance of online media in marketing is online shopping. Currently, an increasing number of people like shopping online, and online shopping is not only convenient but also faster than going to stores.Furthermore, online shopping is really powerful, people can buy anything they want online, and there are different varieties of choices for any products. For example, in China, there is the largest online shopping website which named Taobao, people cannot only buy clothes and food but also cosmetics and electronics. Moreover, it can ship to other countries, and when I have been to America, I found that most my friends buy clothes and food on Taobao and ship to America. As for me, I usually buy clothes online, because Athens is a small town, so it is inconvenient to buy clothing or food; at that time, I will choose online shopping, online shopping can save my time instead of going to stores, so Online shopping is really important in people's lives.
