Benefits

With the introduction of the online store the Client has seen an exponential surge in Sales.

Some of the other benefits that the company has witnessed are as follows :

  • Reduced overheads in general :
    An online shop costs less to set up and run than a physical store, although it's important to recognize that making E-commerce work requires continuing investment.
  • Lower marketing costs with better targeting:
    online promotion can be more precisely aimed at potential customers than using conventional media. It's also much cheaper, for example, to send a marketing message by e-mail to 1,000 customers than it is to send 1,000 newsletters by post.
  • Expanded geographical reach:
    a local business can become nationwide or even international, just through having an effective E-commerce strategy. Bear in mind that if you do sell outside the UK, you'll need to comply with regulations and understand tax and import/export issues.
  • Being open for business 24/7:
    with automated order and payment processing, sales can be made at any time, and customers can buy when it suits them.
  • Greater flexibility:
    an online store can be updated instantly and as often as you like ñ for example, to promote a 'deal of the day' on your front page, without the need for expensive printed display material.
  • Broader potential customer base:
    an E-commerce business is an additional buying channel, capable of attracting customers who have not bought before.
