subject: Importance Of Ecommerce [print this page] When it comes to commerce we think about the traditional means of trading but today we are fully aware of the transformation of commerce to E-commerce (technically called as Electronic Commerce / or Trade through Internet).
Although the web was started as static with the view to provide the information to the audience on different subjects worldwide and instantly. But later it was discovered that the world wide web can be made more potential by introducing several other things.
So came the browser based email and the search engines. Even today majority of traffic for internet is constituted by emails and search engines. Later it was found that even products can be sold on internet and thereby comes the ecommerce giants like Amazon and Ebay. Hence the web was no more a static ground, it was a dynamic road where people can purchase the items just by click of a house through their credit cards.
In the start ecommerce was not considered safe as people do fear that how come we rely on a website and put our credit card info there. But it was purely solved by credit card merchant sites which secures the transaction overall. Hence if a customer or the vendor or both tries to dupe each other, the credit card merchant site is there to address and resolve the problem.
But again what is the key element which make the ecommerce so great that the industry stands at multi-trillon dollar. I would say that there are n number of reasons why people are shifting to ecommerce and several vendors believe that their virtual e-shops are better than the physical ones.
The prime advantage of ecommerce is that you can find, compare price, bid the product you are looking for at the ease of your living. So you can do that in your office when you are free (now all offices are equipped with internet services, I shouldnt mention that) and even at home. Moroever you can do the same via mobile as we have smartphones with ecommerce apps. etc.
Ultimately you can buy the stuff you are looking for without going to shop thereby saving your time and cars fuel as a whole. There are lots of ecommerce websites coming up and with so customized shopping carts that you can shop the same way as if you are walking across the Shopping Mall.
Nobody knows that where will this leads us and e-shops will be able to take over the physical shops forever. I would say this is just a start and we will be expecting a lot of innovation on the e-commerce industry
