...e-commerce
We've all heard about the dot.com disasters and the bubble bursting.
We've seen over-hyped sites like boo.com and Clickmango come and go.
But the internet is here to stay, and more and more people are simply
treating it as a normal means of communication without any of its early
mystique.
You'd be surprised how little it costs to set up an online shop. The
most straightforward scenario is an existing business, with a real shop
already offering mail order, that decide they want to sell online as
well. If this is the case, suppliers, stock control and mailing are already
taken care of. All you need is a website with a "shopping cart" facility
and you're away!
The other end of the scale is a business starting from scratch, dealing
only on the web. From a business point of view, this is more work to
set up, but of course the advantage is the low start-up cost.
The ideal solution is an online store that you can control; you can
add new items, delete old ones, suspend items that are out of stock and
take orders at any time. Customers need a secure ordering system so they
can feel sure that their credit card details won't be compromised. And
all this is an integral part of a site tailor made for your business.
