In today’s business landscape, having an online presence is crucial for any active company. The pandemic has further highlighted the significance of this industry. Companies that already had online stores (e-shops) were at a significant competitive advantage and continue to benefit from it.
There are several reasons to consider having an online store in addition to a traditional “brick-and-mortar” shop. Here are a few, though you can undoubtedly think of more:
- No Fixed Hours: An online store operates 24/7, eliminating the constraints of opening and closing times.
- Convenience: Customers can browse and shop without the physical effort of walking around a store.
- Instant Information: Product and service details are readily available, removing the need to wait for staff assistance.
- No Travel Needed: Customers can shop from anywhere without the need to travel to different cities or states.
