In the mid 1990’s, people started doing business on the internet. At that time, there were two kinds of companies. First, there were traditional companies. They sold things in stores. Then, there were internet companies. They didn’t have a store, and they only sold things on the net.
Traditional companies didn’t want to lose any business. Quickly, they made their own websites and began selling things on the net. These are the so-called “brick and click” companies. Many stores are made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That’s where the name “brick and click” comes from.
By the late 1990’s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their profits were not very high. Competition was fierce(激烈的) and many of these businesses were losing a lot of money. In 2000, many e-businesses went out of business.
Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and Noble, Toys R Us, and Walmart so successful? Frist, many customers know and trust their names. Their websites, like walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce(电子商业), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer. Will brick and click companies win the war? Only time will tell.
