e-Commerce Website vs Traditional Business
Filed under : e-Commerce
It’s the new millennium. Many things as compared to the older times have changed today. Earlier in 1900′s coal, steam and oil fuelled most of the businesses. But now in the modern era whether you are a cloth manufacturer, a real estate builder or own a financial services firm, innovation and information will be the fuel for your business. Given the benefits of an e-commerce business model it seems to have become imperative to establish the virtual presence of your business. Below given are some eye openers and benefits of having an online business:
- Employees vs. No Employees: In an online business there is no requirement of recruiting the employees to manage the store because the Owner himself is sufficient for operating and managing the store. On the other hand for a real store, starting from security guards to the department managers every single person needs to be hired and paid a salary, no matter whether you are making profits or incurring losses.
- Hours of Operation: A real store will operate only within the business hours. Almost all the stores are closed by late evening. In contrast, an online store is open and accessible for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days in an year, without any requirement of physical presence of any person.
- The COST Difference: The costs of operating a real and virtual store vary considerably. You don’t need to invest in buying or renting the premises, hiring people, and maintaining a large inventory for running an online business. But in a real business you need a large investment even for running a very small unit.
- Restricted Regional Market and the GLOBAL Market With a real business, after investing a lump sum amount of money you are limited to a regional customer base. Whereas by launching an ecommerce website you can reach a global audience around the world. Customers are the starting and the ending point for any business. The more the better!
- Inventory Management: It becomes very easy to manage the inventory with the help of a good software. Traditionally you would maintain your inventory in books where you may cause errors. Whereas maintaining it through a software would ensure minimal or no errors.
- Accounts Maintenance: It is easier to maintain the accounts with the help of online tools and softwares. When a receipt is made at your ecommerce website, it gets recorded, and similarly payments are also recorded automatically. In this manner your receipts and payments are digitized and it becomes very easy to manage your accounts.
After reading the above article if you have planned to introduce Ecommerce for your company then probably this is the best decision that you have made after opening your company.
