I am all about e-commerce. E-commerce is all about buying and selling products and services via the internet. I do that every single day of the week. Well, I may not buy products and services via the internet on a daily basis, but I certainly sell my services — my services as a freelance writer and as a blogger.
E-commerce is convenient. And in many cases, it’s cheaper than the traditional “brick & mortar” form of selling merchandise and services.
From a buyer’s standpoint, it’s incredibly convenient to browse for swimsuits and sunglasses (I admit to having a slight addiction to the latter. My mother borrowed a pair while we were down at the beach, and I wanted to cry when she lost them in the ocean!) from my living room, instead of having to run around from store to store.
From a seller’s standpoint, doing things the e-commerce way is not only convenient, but cost effective. Setting up and maintaining a website is almost always a lot cheaper than having to run an actual storefront and deal with its associated costs.
