Does your website make you money?

Adding sales facilities to your website could turn it from an electronic business card into a highly productive asset.

Does your website make you money or is it just an electronic business card? By adding an online shopping cart to your website, or creating a fully focussed ecommerce-website, you can give customers a secure way to purchase your products and services, and make your website profitable.

More Australians and New Zealanders than ever are purchasing online. For example, a 2007 survey by Visa International recently found 75% of New Zealanders now shop online, with clothing, DVDs, accessories and technology proving extremely popular. In Australia, ecommerce revenue hit $45 billion in 2006 with annual growth averaging about 30%.

Driving this trend online are increasing numbers of people with broadband Internet, the number of online auction sites such as eBay getting more people online, increased costs of petrol (making getting to shops more expensive for customers and the costs of getting the goods to stores higher for firms) and a lack of people who have the time to shop like they used to.

People are busy and demand fast and easy, to buy it now. They’re waiting online for the stores to offer them the goods and services they want and prepared to pay for them – if they’re offered. In some industries like tourism and holiday accommodation, online is becoming the primary way of searching and purchasing. Those who are not offering ecommerce are therefore losing potential customers and money.

This means there is a huge opportunity for the businesses who want to make their websites more profitable. Surveys show that less than 10% of Australian businesses sell online to this huge potential market and less than 20% have a website. So if you have your own ecommerce website, you could be gaining an edge over your competition irrespective of your size in relation to them. An ecommerce website could help make your business profitable and save you money paying auction, listing or market fees. It’s easier to get started and more secure than you may think.
