A big change can now be seen on the High Street. Where once bustling shops stood and were the cash cows for most retailers, one in seven stores have now closed. Many shoppers prefer the convenience of 24 hour shopping online with user friendly, secure websites that can deliver straight to their door.
The Increase In Ecommerce
More and more retailers are investing in eCommerce and reaping the rewards. 66% of British adults purchased goods or services over the internet in 2011 and this is projected to rise further. Online sales growth is continuing to exceed retail sales growth as shown in 2010 and 2011 and with increasing shop rental costs and reducing footfall, many retailers are realising that the smart option is eCommerce Solutions. Two thirds (66%) of retailers surveyed are expecting to start or grow eCommerce sales via their own websites within the next three years.
Choosing The Right eCommerce Solutions
It may seem daunting to a business looking to branch out into eCommerce but it is actually much simpler than you realise. Ecommerce websites can be created and designed to optimise profit and they can even be incorporated into eBay and Amazon with no percentage fees on marketplace transactions. With access to the CMS (Content Management System), you can track orders and sales by using a Broadband Internet Connection.
