E-Commerce and Internet Technologies- Some Great Opportunities

 

Hello everyone!

For this week’s blog I’ll be talking all about e-commerce.

So what is e-commerce? E-commerce put simply is a method of buying and selling good and services digitally(online). But what are some ways that businesses can use e-commerce? Let’s have a look at some examples below.

 

A New Gym

Websites such as Glofox are perfect for a new gym to conduct their services. Glofox is an online website that aids businesses in taking bookings and payments, builds unique branded apps and offers marketing and sales tools. For a new gym, Glofox can automate communication with members and offer an automatic payment service(such as monthly membership fees).

A New Clothing Boutique

Shopify is an excellent pick for a clothing boutique to get their business up and running. Shopify offer a Pos service allowing businesses to close sales quickly with their software and take all payment types. Shopify can build the business a website for clients to recognize them and browse/buy products, and use a connected back office to sell in person, online, through marketplaces and on social media.

A Cafe

I believe a café would benefit hugely from Square. Square is a great platform for selling both in-store and online. Square offer an all in one mobile POS system. Square allows businesses to accept all payment types with next day bank transfers, build an online store capable of taking orders, send invoices for goods and services, manage employees and track inventory, and offers marketing and loyalty tools for businesses.

 

E-commerce platforms are vital in today world for the success of businesses. I believe that the three e-commerce options above would be extremely beneficial to not just the types of businesses outlined, but for possibly any business. However, if these aren’t quite right for you I have left some links to other great platforms below for you to check out.

I really hope you all found this weeks blog informative, let me know if you have ever used any e-commerce platforms for your business!
