Every day eCommerce is taking more businesses to a new level of success. |

What is E-Commerce? | |
eCommerce is simply business conducted
electronically, or online. Online business makes it
possible to buy and sell products and services
without ever going near a traditional, physical
business. eCommerce provides information and
services for customers and other users online and
drives traffic to traditional businesses.
The Internet has the ability to fulfill, educate,
entertain, inform and sell - and with GoneWithTheWeb.com

these possibilities! | |
Important Reasons to Adopt E-Commerce for your business |
The Internet... it's how business is done today.
The Internet has become a new communications
medium, one that links anyone with access to a
computer and a modem with the rest of the world.
For Small Businesses today, not being online means
missing out on a potentially lucrative source of new
sales and profits.

E-Commerce can increase revenues Who can afford to pass up the potential to increase revenues? Even the most successful Small Business can benefit from introducing its products or services to more potential consumers by moving from a small or local market to a national or even global market. | |
Consummers make purchases over the Internet. Online shoppers are consumers with buying power. Christmas 1998 was a record season for online retailers, and online purchasing is predicted to grow exponentially over the next few years. Also, many purchasers conduct research online and then go to a physical storefront to make their purchase. | |
Almost anything can be bought or sold over the Intranet. As a rule, if a product or service sells in mail-order catalogs, it can also sell online - though some Small Business owners are beginning to adapt to the new medium and are finding they can sell all kinds of products and services online. The greater challenge for businesses is how to successfully market their Web Sites. | |
E-Commerce can reduce costs. eCommerce can reduce costs by redefining the role of the middleman. In an environment where manufacturers can ship directly to the customer, middlemen must show how they add value to the buying process. Also, you can use eCommerce to keep better track of items in stock and reduce excess inventory. | |
NOW is the time to get the "first movers" advantage. Many Small Businesses are forming eCommerce initiatives right now - before a competitor seizes the opportunity first. You might be OK if you wait... or you might end up like all those booksellers now scrambling to catch Amazon.com. | |
E-Commerce is growing Today eCommerce is a small part of the national economy. But the number of online purchasers doubled in the last year, and estimates show continuing growth in the eCommerce channel for years to come. | |
Online customer behavior is changing. Many eCommerce experts suspect that security concerns are not what is preventing people from ordering online. The real challenge is that online shopping is simply not yet a regular part of people's lives. But, given current growth, it soon will be! | |
E-Commerce is the future. eCommerce will lead to the growth of online communities, and these communities will cause the balance of power in the business world to shift from the manufacturer to the consumer. Smart companies will participate in the process by helping to build these communities and by using them to reach more new customers. |
