E-Commerce

Quite simply, E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services on the internet.  It's the fastest growing segment of our economy and has become a multibillion dollar source of revenue for the world's businesses.  The benefits for the customer include 24-hour availability, convenience to shop from home or office, and a global reach.

How Does Your Business Benefit From E-Commerce?

Offering your products and services for sale on the internet is about more than just selling - it's about building a long-term relationship with a customer by serving their needs better, faster, and in a more appealing way than your competition. In turn, your website visitor can become a life-long customer, with repeat purchases and referrals which translates into higher profits.

Internet sales offer a great addition to your existing sales with these benefits:

• less costly to fulfill
• free up labour resources
• process internet sales efficiently at your convenience
• reach more people
• add credibility to your business
