Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, online retail has boomed. Online shopping sales grew by 32.4% across 2020, and are up 39% in Q1 2021. With the forced closure of in-person shops, many logged online to carry on shopping from home. Now more than ever, e-commerce is a vital tool in helping businesses succeed.

There are several different types of e-commerce. These include:
B2C (business to consumer): a business sells to a consumer (e.g. when buying a TV from an online seller).
B2B (business to business): a business sells a good or service to another business (e.g. a manufacturer sells software to a wholesaler).
D2C (direct to consumer): a brand sells directly to a consumer without going though a retailer (e.g. social selling on Instagram).
C2C (consumer to consumer): one consumer sells goods or services to another consumer (e.g. a consumer sells a clothing item on Depop).
C2B (consumer to business): an individual sells services or products to a business (e.g. a photographer sells his services to a newspaper).
At Phoenix Marketing, our team can help you choose which type of e-commerce is best suited for driving sales leads to your business.
What are the benefits of e-commerce?
E-commerce has a wide range of benefits for both business and consumer. These include:
Customer Accessibility: An ecommerce website can be accessed around the clock. Unlike an in-person shop, an ecommerce website can offer services to any place, at any time. This means that customers are more likely to visit a website than an in-person shop. This is because they can access it at any time from their sofa, with just one click. Due to the ease of visiting a website, e-commerce brings in greater revenue than an in-person shop. This makes e-commerce a beneficial option for businesses.
Product Listings: The product listing is what customers see when they search for an item. Using codes like UPC, ISBN, and EAN, sellers can customise product listings on an e-commerce site. For example, you could include a photograph alongside descriptions, a shipping and delivery date, product category, and weight in one place. This means that the consumer is easily able to access a lot of information about a product. This information would not be as easily available in a shop. This is because the information on a product’s packet would be limited. Product linings encourage purchases, and so increase sales.
Cheap marketing: With an e-commerce website, you can easily create specifically tailored ads, coupons, and first-class content. You can do this by simply adding customised features to simple text. These features help inspire customers to buy products, and so increase sales.
Easy price comparison: Product listings mean that it is easy to compare details about various products. This makes the shopping experience easier for the consumer, meaning that they are more likely to buy from your store.
Low Cost: Owning a physical shop comes with a hefty price tag. This includes the price of rent, maintenance, and bills. You can run an e-commerce store without these extra costs, making it far more affordable.
