Online Selling

Why Online Selling is Better Than the
Traditional Method of Selling
Written By Maria!

Why Online selling is better than the traditional
method of selling. The following points can answer
this question. Selling online is called more
generally ‘E_Commerce’

E-commerce provides many new ways for businesses
and consumers to communicate and conduct business.
There are a number of advantages of conducting
business in this manner. That's Why more and more
scholars are making research and writing thesis on
Ecommerce these days.

Some advantages that can be achieved from e-commerce
include and it will tell us why online selling is
better than the traditional method:

Being able to conduct business 24 x 7 x 365:
E-commerce systems can operate all day every day.
Your physical storefront does not need to be open
in order for customers and suppliers to be doing
business with you electronically.

Access the global marketplace: The Internet spans
the world, and it is possible to do business with
any business or person who is connected to the
Internet. Simple local businesses such as specialist
record stores are able to market and sell their
offerings internationally using e-commerce.
This global opportunity is assisted by the fact
that, unlike traditional communications methods,
users are not charged according to the distance
over which they are communicating.

Speed. Electronic communications allow messages
to traverse the world almost instantaneously.
There is no need to wait weeks for a catalogue to
arrive by post: that communications delay is not a
part of the Internet / e-commerce world.

Marketspace. The market in which web-based
businesses operate is the global market. It may
not be evident to them, but many businesses are
already facing international competition from
web-enabled businesses. This becomes the part of
every research and thesis on Ecommerce topic.

Opportunity to reduce costs. The Internet makes it
very easy to 'shop around' for products and services
that may be cheaper or more effective than we might
otherwise settle for. It is sometimes possible to,
through some online research, identify original
manufacturers for some goods - thereby bypassing
wholesalers and achieving a cheaper price.

Allowing customer self service and 'customer
outsourcing'. People can interact with businesses at
any hour of the day that it is convenient to them,
and because these interactions are initiated by
customers, the customers also provide a lot of the
data for the transaction that may otherwise need
to be entered by business staff. This means that
some of the work and costs are effectively shifted
to customers; this is referred to as 'customer
outsourcing’.
