E-Commerce
E-commerce or shopping cart, is a way of showcasing your products for everyone to see, allowing customers to browse and buy in their own leisure.
Benefits
- You can display a larger product catalogue online, especially if you have limited space in your retail store.
- Keep your customers up-to-date with latest special offers and promotions.
- Allow customers to re-order at the click of a button.
- Use drop-shipping, send email notification to your suppliers when orders are received, for them to send the items direct.
- Offer special Internet prices, not having so much stock in-store means you could offer products cheaper than in store.
- Control and monitor your stock, through built-in stock control software.
- Automatically re-order stock when levels are low
- Access sales data and other administration features anywhere with an internet connection..
Drawbacks
- Sales go up, needing someone to monitor the website constantly (for those glass half empty people).
- Extra income so paying more TAX.
- Initial set-up costs, if you have thousands of products, this can be time consuming to input them in to the shopping cart.
- Security may be an issue if you don't have a trusted SSL(Secure Socket Layers) certificate.
