In industrialized countries, the Internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. We use it both at work and at home.
Everything is around us. A person in an industrialized country would be in the minority if they never paid for anything online or purchased a product or service online from an e-commerce store.
Residents of European countries spend 132 billion euros ($180 billion) through e-commerce sites, according to a study.
Over the next five years, the amount spent through e-commerce sites will grow by 25% annually, reaching an estimated €406.8 billion (US$554 billion).
It is worth noting that this only includes Europe and does not take into account America, Asia and other developing regions, which could easily double or triple these figures.
So, it is clear that there is a huge online market space that requires online stores and websites to sell products and services.
As a business owner, I see a huge market for established, real-world businesses to step into the world of e-commerce and sell online.
Ecommerce website partners should be evaluated on their ability to provide a quality, ongoing relationship that will be in the best interest of your business in the long term.
1. Strong experience in e-commerce website development with good portfolio and references
2. Hosting with reliable and strong internet connection
3. Better design in future and adequate support from development team
4. Online marketing professionals with a proven track record and a good portfolio of established clients - the most important feature of any store - attracting visitors!
As a business owner, I would describe an eCommerce store that has implemented search engine optimization as a store with many different doors.
E-commerce website owners need to know that the more people visit your website, the more sales you will make.
Search engine optimization does just that and targets specific phrases where your website appears in Google search. By now it should be clear that the higher you go, the more visitors your website will have.
Research has shown that 80% of all people who search for a word land in one or more results on the first page (top 10).
Therefore, the goal of SEO is to rank on the first page and in the top 10 of displayed results for a particular search term.
So, when choosing a partner, your focus should be on good website design, but more on online marketing and how it can help you get the word out and drive traffic to your site on the web.
An e-commerce website offers many benefits to a core business. It adds an extra dimension to the business and opens many doors to the store when implemented with SEO as mentioned above.
More customers means more revenue; Everyone knows about this. An e-commerce store provides interstate, national and global access to your product or service.
With a global e-commerce system, you can reach the farthest corners of the world and deliver your products to new developing markets by creating a global brand.
