E-commerce

E-commerce is the sale of products and services over the Internet. It is the fastest growing segment of our economy. It allows even the smallest business to reach a global audience with its product or message with minimal cost. The sale of products or services on your Web site can generate sales that will make the difference between success and failure. Even Walmart, the largest retailer in the world with one billion dollars sales per day, could not anticipate the increasing wave of Internet business. On the morning of November 24, 2006, their Web site broke down because it could not handle the volume of Internet orders
180 million people in the US use the internet at least once per month
In 2005 there were approximately 1.08 billion people worldwide who used the internet at least once a month. This is projected to grow to 1.8 billion in 2010
The online population has hit 73% of all U.S. adults
The average income of Internet households is over $66,790, making the Internet user a very attractive customer for you to target.

Exploring E-Commerce

As with any business move or expansion, considering an online presence can raise a sometimes dizzying list of questions for an entrepreneur. Exactly what must be put in place to make it happen? How does an online presence change the market for the business? What are competitors doing? How will people shop? What kind of security is required? How will customers pay online? We put together this guide, a primer of sorts, to help answer those questions.

Small businesses that have little or no e-commerce capabilities on their websites will learn about taking the next step in converting their marketing sites into selling locations that extend their customer bases, images and sales in entirely new ways. Those entrepreneurs not yet online will discover how the Internet is likely to transform their businesses and introduce them to markets far beyond those which are currently in reach.

Why Go Online?
The most amazing aspect of e-commerce is its ability to impact sales and marketing efforts immediately. By going online, suddenly a neighborhood bakery or a homebased consulting service expands its reach to a national, or even international base of potential customers. Web-based sales know no international boundaries.
