Gateway Computers and Ecommerce

Personally I do not shop Gateway, but I can see that their service and product caters to the average computer user. however, it is clear that Gateway’s main objectives center solely on the consumer segment. That’s right, they are making money with the new divisions such as gateway. leading to the addition of different revenue-producing businesses including a web-portal. It seems that this is the wave of the future as margins on personal computers continue to decline, thus companies such as Gateway and Dell computers must find new sources of revenue. Previously, Gateway gained revenues by selling merchandise over the Internet (computers). Gateway has built a value-oriented appeal that has allowed them to generate revenues etc. net through advertising, as well as plugging their other business entities. The genius in this is that they can use this to their advantage by advertising their computer selling division for free through the portals, classes, and other outlets. net, an Internet portal, and gateway country (which includes computer training), have brought forth a fee-for-service and advertising based revenue strategy as well.

My opinion on the overall effectiveness of their company website is that it works. A change in the website as well as company growth have promoted an addition of revenue models.
