Electronic Commerce is the buying
and selling of goods and services across the Internet. An e-commerce site can be as
simple as a catalog page with a phone number, or it can range all the way to a real-time
credit card processing site where customers can purchase downloadable goods and receive
them on the spot. Electronic commerce merchants can range from the small business
with a few items for sale all the way to a large on-line retailer such as Amazon.com.
Why Your Business Needs a Commerce Enabled Website:
- Over 20 million people are currently buying products and
services through the Internet.
- In 1998, online retail shoppers are expected to spend $ 4.8
billion, and by 2001, on-line retail sales are expected to top $17.8 billion.
- Currently, the frequent online shopper spends an average
$672 per year on-line and this is expected to grow to $773 per year by 2001.
- Consumers are gaining confidence in the security of the
Internet which will further increase the growth in sales.
The Internet is maturing, and merchants who experiment
today have the opportunity to grow with the web and become the giants of tomorrow.
