THE UNCHANGING ROLE OF E-COMMERCE IN MODERN BUSINESS
With advanced technology moving forward globally, e-commerce has evolved rapidly and continues to play a key role in modern business. Its significant impact on business makes it an anchor to global trade. Business owners utilize a combination of technology and innovative business systems, such as internet marketing and electronic fund transfers, to run their businesses via e-commerce. Consumers continue to shift their shopping habits to online purchase. The fact that most, if not all, household appliances are internet-enabled breaks down the barriers of time difference and helps consumers, from around the world, to constantly engage with brands and communicate with manufacturers or traders concerning their products. Both the online seller and buyer reap the benefits of e-commerce while enjoying the comfort of being in one place without the need to travel anywhere. Modern technology helps businesses take the standard of customer personalization to another level by means of various channels accessible to customers to provide an insight to their personal preferences.
Social distancing, being one of the key precaution measures taken to slow the spread of the pandemic, is now embraced globally. As a result of this particular measure, an increase in online shopping has recently been observed as people go online to purchase products that might have otherwise been purchased in person. Though more budgets are allocated toward daily essentials, a lot of other products are still purchased online which indicates the stability of e-commerce during these critical times. Its impact and relevance are more evident now than ever.
This type of business comes with a lot of advantages in addition to those mentioned above. Some of these include cost reduction, flexibility, 24/7 availability, global reach, instant attraction via social media ads, 24/7 advanced online product display (including best-sellers display), easy and quick check-out procedures and faster delivery.
From time to time, customers have expressed the comfort of online shopping at an affordable price and convenient delivery and return policies. The well-designed e-commerce platforms contain various information, photos and concise product listings to pitch and sell products or services by means of swaying customers’ choices. These platforms enable traders to sit back and relax while global customers select several products or services easily through the drop-down box after carefully going through the description and review of the desired product or service. Moreover, alterations can be made to orders and a track of purchases can be saved. The availability of the bestsellers display provides proven information of purchase by others.
