If IVK were to implement Bitcoin into their company, there
would be more media attention and satisfied customers. When a company
implements a new system, especially one that has not been tested thoroughly or
with many other companies is going to produce a lot of ‘talk.’ Just one person
has to tell a news source that ‘IVK is starting to accept Bitcoin next month!’
and they will be hounding them for interviews and information. When the media
gets involved, some of the information conveyed will be fake and some will be
real. Some companies believe that any media attention is good media attention
because interested customers will inquire further. Also, when customers have
more choices and have the opportunity to try something innovative, they jump on
the chance. If not too many other companies, especially one like IVK, are
offering Bitcoin as another currency, IVK sort of is the monopoly. Competitors
will watch closely to see if they are successful and jump on the bandwagon if
they are.
The overall value of increased profits and media attention
will help the company in the long run. Increased growth, more market shares and
higher stock price are just a few of the benefits IVK can receive. When companies implement a successful new system or tool
into their current processes, customers will be more satisfied as the new
system or tool is usually benefiting them. Whether it affects them directly or
indirectly, they can become a loyal customer leading to increased profits and
the overall growth of the company. Offering bitcoin payment options and loam
options is new to the financial market and is a huge value to IVK customers
respond positively. If a company is growing, there is potential expansion into
other states and countries, more job opportunities, and increased market share.
IVK has about 1% more market share than a competitor. It won’t stay that way
forever. One company is going to push forward and one is going to stay at a
constant rate. In turn, the company who takes the risk will have an increased
stock price as new shareholders will emerge and the company will become more
well-known. Taking risks with a new technology like Bitcoin can give IVK the
competitive edge they need to rise above and turn IVK around like Williams is
trying to achieve.
