One-Way
Communication
- Traditional media (radio, TV, newspaper, magazine) are one-way communication
tools. In other words, they can only act as providers of information
or entertainment. Call-in shows have helped promote limited two-way
communications… but only with those fortunate enough not to get a busy
signal. The World Wide Web is the first medium to provide the means
for absolute, one-on-one, two-way communications. Every visitor can
take, give, and interact with the host. This is a powerful new tool
and one that is almost always overlooked. Find ways to motivate your
visitors to take some kind of action… be it to fill out a survey, email
your organization for more information, or to buy a product or service
on-line.
