While attending a summit I got an opportunity to interact with young buds of a university. During my interaction I asked students that after concluding their respective courses in which field they will make their carrier. To my astonishment irrespective of the study course one thing was common in maximum of answers given by students and that was “entrepreneurship”. Hearing their answers I realized, unarguably Narendra Modi’s plan of “Make In India” and “Design In India” certainly has successfully made inroads in young minds. Even I found many of them were pretty enthusiastic about making carrier as entrepreneur in new age online shopping world.
Quite rightly too! Although e-commerce business in India is just 7-8 years old yet undoubtedly it has touched new skylines in last 2-3 years. With upsurge in number of internet users, mobile users and burgeoning middle class in India; the picture seems even more optimistic. However, let me caution you all that the path of this online business world is not that rosy. Therefore, an e-world business starter needs a professional approach as well as expertise to emerge as winner. Here I recommend an open source e-commerce platform to establish online business starters. Magento obviously is front runners among such platforms. Magento supports with myriad of customized solutions to handle procurement process, database management, store management, goods disbursal, inventory, accounting, product delivery, promotions and many more. All in all, it acts as a guide while handling any online shopping world operations.
Furthermore, if you are seeking edge in functionality of e-commerce business than you can also take support of Kreios Info Solutions – Magento certified developer.
My interaction with students prompted me to pen down few significant aspects about e-commerce business model to give handy insights. In fact, I invite all to add more in these from their experience. Meticulously go through these points to know the benefits of E-commerce business to the nines.
- Helps to cast net on wider customers: Irrespective of the fact that how big your name or brand you cannot reach customers sitting far from your brick and mortar shop. Geography certainly has its own limitations. But online business has no such limitations. You can hit new markets and open infinite fresh vistas with e-power.
- 24X7/365 days service: I am sure you all will agree that many a time’s service plays a crucial aspect to make the mark. After all in this fast paced word we all are in hurry. 24X7/365 days service from any brick and mortar outlet is quite a daunting task. However, an online store can easily offer such service to all customers.
- Offers comfortable shopping option: People now days are becoming comfort loving and moreover in this fast paced world we all have time constraints too. I am sure you all have heard about “Alladin’s Chirag” and look now we have that in form of e-commerce websites. Just by clicking a button shoppers can easily shop and give a clean miss to serpentine traffic jams, pollution and odd weather conditions. Truly a comfortable and hunky dory experience.
- Less operational cost: E-commerce is a virtual word and companies just have to display their products in form of beautiful visuals on their websites. Hence, they can easily control their inventory. Based on buying habits or sales projections one can keep a limited stock. This certainly means no big warehouses, insurance, transportation, less paper work and management staff. Moreover, having an outlet at prime city location in not necessary. All in all it involves less operational cost.
- Helps to build a strong brand image: Sales world is brand driven. Online presence of a company surely gives a push in developing it as a brand, which otherwise is a too slow process in a brick and mortar shop. With services like SEO a company can even easily attract new customers. No such possibility is available with conventional business methods.
Now, let’s have a meticulous attention towards the other side of the coin too. Though this online shopping world is growing yet it is not a cake walk to make a mark in e-commerce business. Hence, without having the detailed understanding of this business or without knowing the implications of changing shopping pattern it is not advisable to take next step.
