In the years to come the growth of E-commerce and its acceptability by customers for more and more categories will hence depend on the ability of an E-Commerce venture to offer a product at a “lower price” to the customer.
E-commerce venture, unlike physical world shops does not find itself in the way of walk in walk in traffic as the internet destinations (URLs) are not visible on the internet unless it is advertised. E-commerce ventures find it very expensive to get interested customers to their website and make them buy the products being sold. Since the cost of marketing is high, it adds to the cost of the product. This in turn means that the E-commerce service provider cannot offer the product at a lower price to the customer
For many categories, customers don’t see a clear benefit in buying a product online, due to the limitations of not being able to choose the right product without physically seeing it as in case of real world shop. However if a product is available online at a price that is much lower that what it costs in a retail store, then the customer perhaps would be interested in buying it.
As per research statistics less than 5% of customers visiting a e-commerce website actually engage in a purchase decision. A whopping 95% visit these site to browse through the products and leave without making a sale. This results in a huge loss of opportunity for any e-commerce venture in loosing potential customers on a website every day.
Successful e-commerce Venture should hence embrace systems and methodology that have the intrinsic capable to offer products at the lowest price to the customers.
