“Afterall, why shoul I start an online shop for my business?”. If you don’t have one yet, this question may have already crossed your mind. And I, as your business partner /billing software, will answer it.

The business world does not stop and online stores are already part of it. But should they be part of your world too?

As your business partner /billing software, I say they should! According to my research and professional experience, whether you have a restaurant or a bakery, a supermarket or a butcher, an online store will be a good investment to complement your business and make it grow. Therefore, I advise you to create an online store as soon as possible, and I’ll show you why:

Consumers buy more and more in online stores. The online stores and online shopping are here to stay. There’s no doubt of that. According to the Eurostat data, in 2020, in the European Union, 72% of the internet users between the ages of 16 and 74 have bought or ordered products online. A number that conveys an increase of 4 percentage points compared to 2019. Therefore, the tendency is very clear: consumers are increasingly looking for the convenience of online stores.

With an online store, your business increases its range and reaches more potential clients. Nowadays (almost) everyone is online. In fact, according to Eurostat, 89% of the European population between 16 and 74 years old have used the Internet in 2020. That being the case, you can’t go wrong: with an online store, you can increase the range of your business. Online stores allow your company to emerge on the search of a big number of potential customers and can really convince them to buy right away.

Online stores make your team’s work easier. It is becoming more common to see businesses accepting orders by phone and social media to speed up the products’ preparation, to avoid long lines of customers and physical contact. But this requires careful attention from your team. And the online stores come to simplify this process with a centralised management of the orders. With an online platform, you can see all the orders and required information (as the customer’s name and contact) in a single device, without the need to write it down on paper. For your team and your business, this can be translated in more agility and efficiency.

It has never been so easy to have an online store (as it is today). If, a few years back, the creation of an online store was a long and complicated process, these days it doesn’t have to be that way.
