E-COMMERCE BUSINESS SETUP

E-commerce Business Setup in Dubai refers to the process of buying or selling products or services over the Internet. Online shopping is becoming increasingly popular because of speed and ease of use for customers.

 

E-commerce activities such as selling online can be directed at consumers or other businesses. Business to Consumer (B2C) involves the online sales of goods, services and provision of information directly to consumers.

 

Business to Business (B2B) refers to the online selling of products, services, or information between businesses.

Selling online can help your business reach new markets and increase your sales and revenues. If you are interested in selling to other businesses, you can use the Internet to find sales leads, announce calls for tender and offer products for sale either through your own website or through an e-marketplace site

PLANNING FOR E-COMMERCE

Moving your sales operations online requires that you look at your business needs and information technology (IT) requirements and the options available to you in order to formulate an e-commerce implementation and fulfilment strategy. Here are some questions to consider:

Is e-commerce really the right option for my business? If so, why?
Who are my competitors online and how well established are they?
Can my existing business system processes in my bricks and mortar storefront be brought online? How do I integrate them?
What do I need the website to do – i.e. are there straightforward categories and sub-categories or do I need additional functionality?
Do I need the shopping cart to be able to do anything beyond taking payments?
What resources or knowledge base do I need to set up an online store?
How will I drive traffic to my online store?

GENERALLY TOP 10 GOODS SOLD OUT ONLINE ARE

  • Travel arrangements (e.g. hotel reservations, travel tickets, rental cars)
  • Tickets for entertainment events (e.g. concerts, movies, sports)
  • Books, magazines, online newspapers
  • Clothing, jewellery or accessories
