Twenty Years Of Internet Solutions
The internet has made millionaires of many people from all sorts of backgrounds and sometimes it is difficult to remember that this has all happened over the past twenty years or less.
In the year 1995 there were only a handful of websites and if you take a look at these early examples most of them were poor by today’s standards. Nowadays there are literally hundreds of millions of websites and new ones are registered at the rate of tens of thousands a week.
Only a few will go on to make good profits and although there are always the odd fluky ones which by some good fortune make it onto the social networking sites and for some reason or other go viral, for the most part it is hard sustained work and investment of time and money which leads others to success.
Understanding e-commerce solutions should be common knowledge for anyone starting a new online business.
In those early 1990’s days a webpage was just a bit of fancy one-upmanship where the magic words of www appeared at the bottom of the reps business card.
For most of us it meant very little and if you had a computer with an internet connection which was very unlikely, it would very slowly over a period of several minutes expose a screen with some details about the company and contact phone number.
It was all singularly unimpressive and only a tiny handful of highly imaginative people recognised the enormous potential in terms of commerce. Today this small number of men and women control great chunks of the internet infrastructure.
E-commerce solutions are at the heart of any successful internet venture. In many cases the internet is the business with one hundred per cent sales generated through online ordering. For this to operate smoothly the correct type of software to suit the business is required. When orders come in and secure payment is made then next day delivery is in most cases absolutely essential.
Those early webpage days were like a simple one page advertisement for the company but today some bigger changes have come into force with secure credit and debit card payment and the fact that every single person and their grandmother now has access to the internet and online shopping.
Every company no matter whether a global conglomerate or a one man business needs a marketing strategy.
In the past this may have been production of brochures or fliers and a budget for hardcopy advertising in local papers or radio and television.
None of those methods are required now if you are selling goods via a website but you should still budget to spend on improving your webpage by recruiting the services of a good SEO Company to keep it running smoothly and efficiently as well as continually keeping your presence moving up the ratings.
If you have a bright idea you want to convert into marketing goods on the internet then start with good website designers and check they have a team versed in all aspects of e-commerce.
