Post Benefits of selling online
Hello
Selling online has a number of advantages over selling by conventional methods, including:

* Making savings in set-up and operational costs. You don't need to pay shop assistants, rent high-street premises, or answer a lot of pre-sales queries.
* Reducing order-processing costs - customer orders can automatically come straight into your orders database from the website.
* Reaching a global audience, thereby increasing sales opportunities.
* Competing with larger businesses by being able to open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
* Being able to receive payment more quickly from online transactions.
* Attracting customers who would not normally have investigated your type of high-street outlet.
* Improving your offerings using the data gathered by tracking customer purchases.
* Using your online shop as a catalogue for existing customers.

Thanks

Hi
Less Overhead
# Since selling online requires no brick-and-mortar storefront and reduces the amount of employees necessary to conduct business, there is very little overhead compared to traditional retailing.
Targeted Marketing
# You can easily tailor your ad campaigns around your designated demographic. Social media websites offer an inexpensive form of marketing that gives business owners the advantage of word-of-mouth advertising on a grand scale.
Extended Hours of Operation
# Online selling gives businesses the opportunity to provide around-the-clock hours of operation, thus increasing their profit margins. Customers can browse through your goods or services whenever and wherever they have Internet access.

Thanks

Hello

The Internet can open up new avenues for your business to buy and sell products or services online, with such activities generically referred to as ecommerce.Affiliate marketing programs are actually agreements between website owners and merchants. Under this, the affiliate or website owners agree on allowing their website to be used for promotional activities, linking to site of the online vendor for the products. In return, the merchant pays a certain percentage of commission for all the sales acquired by the affiliate. Every time a person clicks on the affiliate website, he/she is redirected to the merchant website. When he/she makes a purchase on any of these sites, the affiliate gets a commission.
Reaching a global audience, thereby increasing sales opportunities.
* Competing with larger businesses by being able to open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
* Being able to receive payment more quickly from online transactions.
* Attracting customers who would not normally have investigated your type of high-street outlet.
* Improving your offerings using the data gathered by tracking customer purchases.
