E-commerce for many businesses is the buzz word of the new millennium that everyone heard years ago but for many
businesses it’s the reason why they are still in business.
E-commerce has evolved over the last few years and feature-rich shopping applications, most commonly known as
shopping carts, are now widely available. Online shopping is going to increase at an alarming rate over
the next year so now is the time to create your online store.
A recent annual survey of the e-commerce market for small and medium-sized
enterprises in the UK showed that the high level of profitability of e-commerce sites seen in 2002 has been sustained
in 2003 and the UK generated over £14 Billion in revenue through e-commerce sales.
It is expected that this figure will double by 2005 with the roll out of broadband Internet connections throughout
the UK. E-commerce is no longer a fly by night idea. Companies can generate millions in
revenue purely through their websites.
You may say that they should do with spending hundreds of thousands of pounds
on design and marketing. True, however for the first time in history you too can operate your own e-commerce store
for as little as £499.99
