5 Reasons Why eCommerce Should Be a Priority for Small Business Owners

More advantages, lower costs

Five years ago, eCommerce was a buzzword people threw at networking events to sound fancy. It was a newish trend that most entrepreneurs shrugged.

In fact, back in 2017, eCommerce sales accounted for about 10% of all retail sales worldwide. Today that percentage doubled and is expected to continue its growth year after year.

That being said, the ever-growing adoption is far from being enough to explain why eCommerce is the future. Below you’ll find five key factors why you should consider selling online as soon as possible.

Sell while you sleep

Shop owners turn off the lights and go home at some point. They need rest, food, and some quality time with family. We all do. But with an e-commerce store, you can make it convenient for your customers to buy all day, every day, even while at home, curled up with a good book and a hot cup of chamomile tea.

So if someone can’t make it to your physical location during your operating hours, they can visit your website and make their purchase. Even when you’re asleep, people will be buying your products.
