Pandemic had us learn new things, and one of them is that online shopping and E-commerce is often better than the offline one. Also, since we are in the world pandemic state, online shopping is a safer option for us to buy our necessities. Many people are familiar with buying things online from our smartphone in our hands.
Online shopping has been accessible for many years already. But, will we still use it in the future?
Do you know that all kinds of transaction done electronically whether it is buying or selling a product or a service is called E-commerce? It can be through marketplace, TV, radio, telephone, and internet.
Some people misunderstand E-commerce and marketplace. You know the definition of E-commerce from the last paragraph, but what is marketplace? It is a medium for sellers and buyers. For sellers to sell their products and buyers to find things that match their need. It is a product of digitalization and digital transformation. A technology to help human’s life become easier.
E-commerce is efficient and practical for both the seller and buyer. Sellers don’t need to wait for customers for hours, pay the rent for shop buildings, or manage the website. They only need to manage their product and how it will attract buyer’s attention. Buyers don’t have to spend time and energy to walk, search through shops to buy things. They just need to have internet connection and money. Then, look the key word up of what they want to buy then voila!
E-commerce’s easier access for everyone is one of many reasons why the consumer rate is increasing. Until five years to the future, E-commerce will still be a technology adopted by companies in Indonesia, with the possibility up to 78%, said World Economic Forum. So, it is a promising business even in the future.
