The Importance of ecommerce for Small Businesses

If you want to reach the widest possible audience then a website allied to some form of ecommerce capability is a must. Customers are now browsing globally from the comfort of their homes on a 24/7 basis thus extending your office or shop opening hours. Your business website allows you to promote yourself as far as you want at relatively low cost.

In the USA ecommerce has now reached 4.25% of all retail sales. This has risen from just over 0.5% in 2000 so the trend is definitely on the up and at a staggering rate.

Your website can be the portal into this growing market. It opens the opportunity to market your offering to a much wider community of prospective customers whether it is a retail, commercial or service based business website.

In the UK, ecommerce is predicted in a survey conducted by Interactive Media in Retail Group to reach £6.4 billion this Christmas - a rise of 16% over 2009. Missing out on this growing route to market could be an expensive mistake for any small business. The website set up costs, relative to other forms of direct marketing or advertising campaigns, are relatively low with ongoing running costs being as much or little as you choose.

Why Every Small Business Should Have A Website

In today's world it is essential to have a business website. Why? Well ecommerce is growing at such a high rate that this route to market cannot be ignored by any serious small business enterprise.

The cost of creating a business website for purely promotional purposes is relatively low. More sophisticated sites for conducting trade incorporating a payment capability such as credit cards or secure transactions can be higher but there are even 'bolt on' options using reputable organisations such as PayPal that can provide merchant offerings that seamlessly integrate into your business website to give you true ecommerce capability.

Customers are savvy and use the internet to seek out suppliers and information on products and services. Engaging a good web design company that can also either host or include the meta links to ensure the search engines will find you is a valuable investment that will enable you to spread the word about your offering and reach a huge market audience. Not to have a business website means that you will have to spend on advertising, word of mouth or more traditional marketing tools.

Websites are a cheap and necessary form of advertising and accessing the ecommerce trade. Once the basic design is completed the annual hosting costs are minimal.
