People spend hours together every day browsing the web, networking with others, finding new forms of entertainment, learning about things, acquiring new knowledge, working, and more. Shopping online is an activity that all internet users have in common. eCommerce has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. Many people would find it difficult and burdensome to lead their lives in the absence of eCommerce.
This article is intended to offer an insight into the many different ways in which eCommerce is being used in the modern-day.
A Range Of Services & Products
While shopping from a physical store more often than not turns out to be a disappointing affair, in that you may not be able to get exactly what you were looking for, and a wide variety of products to choose from, shopping online makes it possible for people to choose any product that they wish to purchase while also gaining the ability to do so from a wide product range. People who depend on shopping from brick and mortar stores will also have to travel to multiple stores just to get exactly what they were looking for. This may be either because a store might not have the product that they were looking to purchase in stock or not sell such a product at all. eCommerce shopping on the other hand makes it possible for people to shift between shops with just a few clicks of the mouse.
And, when it comes to sheer variety, nothing beats eCommerce shopping. Even if an eCommerce brand does not have a particular product (displayed as part of their product range in stock), customers can choose to place special orders for that product or opt to receive a notification for the product, so that they may be alerted as soon as the product is back in stock, to place an order.
Access To Cheaper Alternatives
eCommerce shopping is a cheaper alternative to conventional shopping methods, for both buyers and sellers. While sellers do not have to spend any money on maintaining and renting a showroom, or hiring and paying sales staff who cater to customers coming into the shop, buyers do not have to worry about transportation and making multiple trips to different shops just to get what they want. Businesses that make the transition to becoming an eCommerce brand can offer their products at much cheaper prices than traditional brick and mortar stores, as a result of avoiding all unnecessary overhead costs that come with having a physical store. Sellers are also able to deliver on customer satisfaction far more than they would be able to with a physical store.
Quicker, More Accessible & Effortless Commerce
eLearning services are perhaps the best and most appropriate example of more accessible and quicker eCommerce. Anyone wanting to gain knowledge on a particular subject matter can sign up for a course in a matter of seconds and learn all that there is to learn (to gain a basic understanding) in a matter of a few days, or weeks, as opposed to traditional learning facilities where one would have to first find the best institution offering the best courses, visit the institution to sign up and pay for a course, make trips periodically to attend classes, write exams, etc. eLearning, on the other hand, makes it possible for one to learn at their own pace, which facilities better and more in-depth learning.
A course that would normally take a year to complete, can either take a couple of months or more than a year, depending on the learning capacity as well as the free time that the learner can dedicate. One might think that online courses and certifications aren’t as respected by employers and don’t look quite as good as traditional ones on a resume. This is however a misconception. Employers have realized that people who have done online certifications tend to have a better and more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter than those who have done traditional courses or programs. One of the most important factors attesting to the benefit of eLearning facilities is that they are far cheaper than traditional courses. Apart from course fees and other costs such as exam registration fees, transportation costs, costs incurred by procuring necessary study material, etc, can all be avoided. People who take online courses are also able to make better use of their time than those enrolled in traditional courses, as they can save on time taken for traveling, and learn at their own leisurely pace.
