Unfortunately, many small and big retailers / businesses still see e-commerce as a nice option to their existing business, rather than a mandatory need, in fact, only 9 percent of retailers who’ve reached out to Amazon Seller Services, Flipkart Product Listing and Marketing Services and other ecommerce consultants in last year specifically requested for e-commerce development services or Marketplace Store Management services to start online business with existing physical store where it is much easier, cost savier compare to physical store management.
Retailers need to understand, instead of setting aside resources and time to invest in an Ecommerce Portal Development or Marketplace Store Business these small businesses or retailers mistakenly see online e-commerce business as taking time away from the daily operations of their physical store.
Time is running fast, if you are a small business, do not have a branded products than you must go for an e-commerce store to increase sales and build your brand identity. Goning online means increasing global customers and an e-commerce store will keep you competitive, expand your reach and allow you to offer a better customer experience.
Ways E-Commerce Benefits Your Physical Store
Increase your reach to boost sales: By just ecommerce portal development, you’re automatically expanding your potential customer base beyond your community.
Low maintenance cost and big advantages: Setting up an online store comes with significantly lower startup costs than a traditional physical store, with no need to pay for a large physical space and all of the ongoing costs that can entail, also once the portal is ready and launched there is no monthly cost to maintain but generate business throughout months.
In Summary
Both stores have their own importances and choosing between offline and online retail is still a challenge, I recommend my clients if they can manage try to maintain a store also it gives trust and brand value to your online customers where your offline customers should appreciate your online presence too.
