Dalam laman web The 2nd National Youth Entrepreneur Convention. Lebih daripada sembilan usahawan generasi 20+ diketengahkan. Kesemuanya membawa satu persamaan, generasi usahawan yang menjadikan internet sebagai medium pengenalan dan pemasaran kepada bisnes mereka.
Apakah corak atau pattern bisnes yang bakal menjadi kebiasaan dan budaya niaga pada masa akan datang?
Ketika saya sedang berkira-kira membeli ruang iklan. Saya tertarik dengan data demografi yang ditunjukkan oleh laman web Lelong. Berikut adalah carta pai pengguna berdasarkan umur yang menggunakan perkhidmatan Lelong.
Laman web ini mencapai 100,000 pengunjung unik sehari dan terdapat 350,000 ahli berdaftar. Data menunjukkan 54 peratus pengguna terdiri daripada beliau berumur 20-29 tahun.
Sekali lagi, Apakah corak atau pattern bisnes yang bakal menjadi kebiasaan dan budaya niaga pada masa akan datang?Teringat kata Tuan Arief Hakim dari PTS Publication & Distributor, "Berapa kali saudara membeli akhbar? Selalunya akhbar online bukan? Saya hanya beli satu sahaja. The Edge. Akhbar dibeli oleh golongan 30 tahun ke atas. Selebihnya di internet."
