Online marketing getting popular

Kota Kinabalu: Online and Social Media Marketing is increasingly becoming popular in Malaysia.

Verifying this, Internationally Certified and Regional Trainer, Soo Hoo Yoon Hunn, 35, from Kuala Lumpur said online marketing is getting very vibrant because it is a cheaper alternative than a traditional business.

"In future, I see a very big potential, especially for the younger generation of Malaysians entrepreneurial startups in line with this year's forward-going Malaysian Economy.

"More people need to set up alternative ways of generating income," he said when met at the Workshop on Online & Social Media Marketing at the Shangri-la's Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa, Saturday.

The visionary Soo Hoo said he wants to empower more people to have options in their life.

"I want them to be able to set up business online or to at least learn some sales or leadership skills so that they can build their business. This is part of what I do as a sales trainer," he added.

While conceding that deception in online business is still happening, the sales trainer assured that untrusted sites in e-business are starting to be phased out.

Soo Hoo said this is because a protection-payment mechanism has been put in place "to protect the general public in making sure whatever you buy is genuine and of good quality."

Based on media reports, clients in online business complained that vendors had sent them things that were not proper.
