  2. No Geographical Limitations

     

    If you have a physical store, you are limited by the geographical area that you can service. With an e-commerce website, the country world is your playground. Additionally, the advent of m-commerce, i.e., e-commerce on mobile devices, has dissolved every remaining limitation of geography.
  3. Gain New Customers with Search Engine Visibility

    Physical retail is driven by branding and relationships. In addition to these two drivers, online retail is also driven by traffic from search engines. It is not unusual for customers to follow a link in search engine results and land on an e-commerce website that they have never heard of. This additional source of traffic can be the tipping point for some e-commerce businesses.

  4. Lower Costs

     

    One of the most tangible positives of e-commerce is the lowered cost. A part of these lowered costs could be passed on to customers in the form of discounted prices.
  1. Locate the Product Quicker

    It is no longer about pushing a shopping cart to the correct aisle or scouting for the desired product. On an e-commerce website, customers can click through intuitive navigation or use a search box to narrow down their product search immediately.

  1. Open All Hours

    Customers will enjoy the round-the-clock convenience of being able to purchase what they want and when they want it, and you will not lose out on sales with an online shop that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, compared to regular store hours.
  2. More Convenient
    These days customers are appreciating the convenience of online shopping more and more. Rather than spending hours searching in physical stores, people are now making purchases over the Internet during breaks at work, before the school run and in harsh weather conditions, all the times that would be difficult to make a trip to a shop on the high street. The presence of the market has made it easier for everyone including busy parents with pushchairs and wheel-chair users to shop around and make decisions on purchasing without the hassle of being in an environment that is not fully accessible.
  3. A Great Opportunity
    The opportunity that exists in eCommerce sales is huge. And eCommerce growth shows no signs of stopping. Statista predicts that the number of online shoppers will increase by an average of 2 percent every year through to 2021.

     

  1. Technology is on your side
    Technology is a major focus in the eCommerce world, and there has never been more business-friendly technology than there is today. The best part about it is that it continues to improve, with applications and new payment technologies making things easier for businesses across the board.
  2. Consumers are noticing smaller players
    As more information about products and services becomes available, more and more consumers are taking note of the little guys. For the first time in years, smaller businesses can compete with global conglomerates if their products are up to par. It used to be impossible to reach such a wide audience, but the internet has brought the world closer together, allowing you to maximize your exposure to potential clients with minimal effort.
  1. Physical Stores are closing at record rates
    There will always be a need for physical stores to some extent, but consumers are quickly realizing they do not need to drive to retail stores to wait in long lines for products that may not even be there. With these stores closing at a record pace, there is less competition from them, giving you the opportunity to truly flourish with web sales. Because you can control the inventory and let people know when your products will be in stock, you will not suffer from the same fate of retail stores who only have a finite number of resources. eCommerce provides a major advantage over traditional retail avenues, and it has only become more superior in 2018.
  2. Potential for Expansion
    Because it is so easy to start an online business, the potential for expansion is nearly limitless. Once you start to experience success, more and more people will want to buy your product, as online advertisers can help you gain more exposure and reach out to new potential clients.
  3. Ease of Entry
    There are virtually no barriers that are preventing you from starting an online business, so why not give it a shot? All you really need is a website, and you can add new resources from there if you need them. In the old days, you needed a store, a competent work staff, and plenty of inventory. Today, you do not even need to have one item, you can get started with your eCommerce based on an idea or a service that you can provide to people across the world. There is nobody holding you back from taking advantage of the internet and making profit today!
