Emails are used by business to send out memos, surveys, and last minute information that employee’s need to know. Emails are a good way to send information throughout an entire business it is fast, simple and easy to use. Video conferencing is key for a manager who needs to talk to present and future investors, over a web camera and microphone via the internet. It is a great way for business with foreign or long distance dealers or investors to keep in contact and give an in person interview or conference. Social media is important for a business to keep the public involved with what the company is doing and any specials that may be going on.
