A Two Way Street
Typically, in the past, businesses have relied on one-way communication to deliver product and service information. Businesses advertised using various media such as newspapers, television, and radio. This one-way street strategy allowed some Companies to become tone-deaf to their customer's needs.

A Local business had the advantage of seeing their customers and interacting with them at the time of purchase. Large, national, and international companies struggled to stay tuned to their customer's needs. As the internet age arrived, large companies found it difficult to garner consumer attention. Due to this difficulty, internet advertising was born.

Internet advertising allowed large businesses to promote themselves using the new medium favored by consumers. Not wanting to be left out, small businesses soon followed. This new media advertising did not solve the problem of one-way communication. Companies were still talking to their customers instead of talking with them.

The rise of individual websites solved some problems with the advent of forums and email contact forms. But the real connection did not occur until the prominence of social media. Social media allows businesses an opportunity to have two-way communication with consumers.

While face-to-face communication is still king, social media offers a close facsimile. Despite all of the problems with social media (privacy, bias, etc.), it still provides a way to communicate with consumers that were not available before.
