Can you afford not to have an online store?
Advantages of having an online store:
Convenience for your customers – shop from home, save time and travel costs. Your shop is always open, 24/7 – while you’re sleeping or having fun, your customers are browsing and buying.
You have a global potential market – your buyers could be in Moscow or London, on a farm or in a jungle.
It is the best way to get niche products to market – offer your unique products that you won’t find on Amazon or Kalahari.
No expensive premises and staff – expand your business without the extra expense of staff and space.
Easy to display and categorize your products. No shelf space required – display hundreds of products without clutter.
