Traditional Method of Selling

Why Online selling is better than the traditional
method of selling. The following points can answer
this question. Selling online is called more

generally ‘E_Commerce’

E-commerce provides many new ways for businesses
and consumers to communicate and conduct business.
There are a number of advantages of conducting
business in this manner. That's Why more and more
scholars are making research and writing thesis on
Ecommerce these days.

Some advantages that can be achieved from e-commerce
include and it will tell us why online selling is
better than the traditional method:

Being able to conduct business 24 x 7 x 365:
E-commerce systems can operate all day every day.
Your physical storefront does not need to be open
in order for customers and suppliers to be doing
business with you electronically.

Access the global marketplace: The Internet spans
the world, and it is possible to do business with
any business or person who is connected to the
Internet. Simple local businesses such as specialist
record stores are able to market and sell their
offerings internationally using e-commerce.
This global opportunity is assisted by the fact
that, unlike traditional communications methods,
users are not charged according to the distance
over which they are communicating.

Speed. Electronic communications allow messages

to traverse the world almost instantaneously.

There is no need to wait weeks for a catalogue to

arrive by post: that communications delay is not a

part of the Internet / e-commerce world.

Marketspace. The market in which web-based

businesses operate is the global market. It may

not be evident to them, but many businesses are

already facing international competition from

web-enabled businesses. This becomes the part of

every research and thesis on Ecommerce topic.

Opportunity to reduce costs. The Internet makes it

very easy to 'shop around' for products and services

that may be cheaper or more effective than we might

otherwise settle for. It is sometimes possible to,

through some online research, identify original

manufacturers for some goods - thereby bypassing

wholesalers and achieving a cheaper price.

Allowing customer self service and 'customer

outsourcing'. People can interact with businesses at

any hour of the day that it is convenient to them,

and because these interactions are initiated by

customers, the customers also provide a lot of the

data for the transaction that may otherwise need

to be entered by business staff. This means that

some of the work and costs are effectively shifted

to customers; this is referred to as 'customer

outsourcing’.
