Large businesses use the Internet as a form of advertisement--as a way of communicating with their clients. A large company, like for example Target, has a website that allows you to find any store in the world by typing in the zip code of where you are. This makes it much easier to track down your local store, than the yellow pages or calling information because you may not know what city it's in. This allows you to also see the hours of a particular store and get driving directions to a particular store. This allows them to offer special web-only discounts and specials for the web consumer. It allows them to show visually, or sometimes with sound-clips or movie-clips the products that they're carrying, so that even though you're not physically in front of them, you can get a really good feel or taste for what this company sells. If a large company does not have a website, they are not a large company anymore.
