Both are methods by which a one man shop can maximize resources such as time and capital. It is a known fact that the human mind can only remember 6-7 items in its consciousness at the same time. With such limitations it is clear to see that it is impossible for a small one man shop to handle every aspect required from a host especially at a time when customer demands from their service provider are at an all time high.The 6 C's is not a concept but it expands the marketing element and a more formidable way of consumer marketing.The 6 C's are listed below with brief description:Customer:A vital and the most important aspect to keep in mind while performing internet or online marketing.
