E-commerce website for you Small Business.

Amazon is great for those who have limited resources and little tIn the 21st century, online marketing and sales will set the pace for businesses small and large. Corporations like Walmart, Homedepot, Canadian Tire, And the Hudson Bay Company have all learned of the advantages Amazon and eBay have gained through online sales. Clearly, a trend is being set we can either hop on the internet ark or drowned with the rest of them. You to can learn from the big corps by building your own e-commerce, or if you can't beat them join them...

Why join them who and how?

If your Business is just starting out and you are running things from your basement creating your own e-commerce may be an expense you cannot bare. Joining Amazon, for example, might be just what you need to get your feet off the ground. 

o no employees. They offer specialized seller accounts, where you can order your product directly from the manufacturer and have it sent to their warehouses. From there Amazon will package an then ship your orders for you once a request has been made by a customer(for a small percentage). There is a slight process to be approved you have to first start your business account and then ship them a sample of your product so they can test its legitimacy.

Inherit benefits of selling your product on Amazon begin with their already established consumer base. Amazon has many devoted followers who turn to them first when in need of a cheap reliable product. This can help you blast into a consumer base you wouldn't normally have access to outside of them. Furthermore, Amazon provides customer service for your patrons, if they have a problem or a complaint you don't have to worry about them blowing up your phones. Keep in mind they also have a great review system this if you are doing everything not only will this help others to trust your product, it will help your page gain higher authority on Amazon's search mechanism. 

Why Amazon, not eBay? eBay is not exactly meant for those who are running a business. eBay is like a virtual Kijiji. Anyone can sell something and it is not always reliable. eBay also does not provide all the great services Amazon offers its business accounts. All in all, Amazon has much greater respect from is base as far as legitimacy and reliability go. You also never have to fear of having your product jumbled in with a thousand other people selling the same thing that could either be stolen, used, or sold from China a cut-throat rate. 

E-commerce Websites

Building your very own e-commerce is a great solution for business who already have an established consumer base and are starting to make a name for themselves. Instead of paying a percentage of all your products to Amazon keep the profit! Hosting being inexpensive as low as $3 dollars a month is a lot better than 3-4% of all sales especially if your sales are in the hundreds of thousands.

Look at an e-commerce site as a virtual branch to an online-franchise of your business. Before the internet, if you wanted to reach people across the country or even the continent you had to physically expand. Instead of building a website to cover the vast distance with a low cost, you had to build onsite stores in each location you wanted to reach new consumers. This could be very costly, time-consuming and risky if the interest was not there. 

With each new store, you would have to hire employees and Buy or rent the land. Then you would have to worry about heating, electricity, maintenance and the list goes on. With an e-commerce site, you have two costs (if you can build it yourself) which is domain registration and hosting, these costs are fairly low($10-$20 monthly). Additionally advertising your e-commerce site could also be very cheap reaching millions online through SEO and Social Media.

Building your e-commerce site is fairly do-able through websites such as Godaddy, Wordpress, Wix and Squarespace. Most of these websites have easy to use web-page builders that use simple click-and-drag functions and require limited knowledge on computer filing. For those who don't have the time or confidence, there are alternatives.
