If it is one thing made clear with the recent shopping frenzies is that local companies must have an e-presence in order to compete with the Amazons, Belks and Macys of the world. A large number of consumers have changed shopping tactics and have gone totally online resulting in frustrated proprietors. Shoppers basically go to the stores to see what is available and then order what they want online.
There is good news for Business owners.
In the past setting up an e-commerce website was quite costly. Moreover, there were very few merchant gateway options available for locals. However, a number of options are now available and anyone with a Visa card could easily set up an online merchant account. Moreover, there are also several online out-of-the-box solutions that can eliminate expensive developmental costs. Business owners can also start marketing and selling their products directly on social media almost immediately and do so at a fraction of the cost of leasing a physical store.
