Why Ecommerce?

While the recession continues to batter brick and mortar stores, online sales are still pretty hot (in comparison).  When gas prices climbed through the roof last year and no one wanted to leave the house – everything you needed was just a few mouse clicks away. 

I once read an article about two people – one who never left their house for 30 days and ordered everything they needed online, including food.  The other never touched a computer the 30 days and did all of their shopping via sneakers and tires.  At the end of the 30 days, the one who never left the house – while he had no life – was perfectly happy with his situation and proved you wouldn’t actually ever have to leave your house.   The other had internet withdrawals after a few days and barely made it through the test. 
 

I’ve received phone calls from people desperate to sell online – one individual had no product, no plan, but figured if he could sell online, he’d be rich.  Another person wanted to start a music downloading service – yet didn’t have any musical background, music, or means to advertise.  On the one hand, we snicker and wonder in amazement at some people’s lack of preparedness.  Yet on the other hand, we marvel, because these people get it! 
 

Ill prepared as they are, they understand that the days of opening up a new business by renting a building, buying equipment, hiring employees, paying utilities, etc. are over.  For a fraction of the cost of a brick and mortar business, you can start your own business online.   Just twenty short years ago, the investment in brick and mortar could be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and people begged and borrowed to come up with the resources.  Yet today, some folks balk at paying a fraction of that for a powerful ecommerce website that opens up their little piece of reality to a global level!   My how times change.
