The Extension versus Adaptation
Debate I
Four major difficulties

recipient

may not be understood or may even be
misunderstood

may be understood but still may not induce the
recipient to take the action desired by the sender
the effectiveness of the message can be impaired

geographic area is not an option when marketing
via the Internet
