In the e-commerce platform it is easier to find out what works and what not by looking at other successful companies. This gives a clear-cut idea to a small-time business owner.
In the e-commerce platform, there are no holidays, it works 24 x 7, and thus the Purchase and sale can happen every single minute of the day and night. This is certainly a big advantage as there is no limiting factor in terms of time and thus more sales and more profit.
On an online platform if your business is run by just you or it is done by a team of 300 people is not evident for the customers. This helps the small-time business owner compete with the big ones and get the same visibility and conversions without any limitations.
There cannot be a better time to start an e-commerce site for either a startup or for an already existing brick and mortar store owner.
