Should I sell online? Will people buy if I sell online? Yes! Infact, huge hypermarkets like Tesco is selling online as well. Now, you can even buy fresh food like fish, chicken to household products via Tesco’s online store. So,what are the reasons more and more people starting to sell online? Here is why.
1) 24 hours On-going Business
Unlike traditional businesses whereby you have to close after certain hours and certain days for you and your employees to rest, online businesses can run 24 hours straight. In other words, you will be able to make money even when you are sleeping!
2) Unlimited Products
You can list / sell unlimited products online. You will not have space constraints as to where to store them alike many traditional businesses are facing. Example, 1 of our merchants, Hoops Station, is selling more than a thousand products online.
You can even use services like iStoreISend, a partner of SiteGiant to store your products. You do not need a warehouse. Just rent a space from them. Once there is an order, SiteGiant store will notify them and they will even help you to ship the product to your customer.

3) Low Startup Cost
Rental, furnishing, deposits, water and electricity all can be saved if you are running your business online. In fact, you do not need a physical store. This saves you a lot.
If you have a really low budget, you can even try out dropshipping. Dropshipping companies like Kumoten allows you to list as many products as they have and sync the products and orders to your SiteGiant store. You only need to pay when someone purchase your product(s) and Kumoten will ship it directly to your buyer.
4) Geographically Unlimited
Since the dot.com boom, the world is flat. Anyone across the globe can be your customer. SiteGiant Cross Border Marketplace Sync allows you to sell anywhere and everywhere with eBay, Amazon etc. You do not have to limit yourself to only a certain area alike traditional businesses. The world is now your market.

5) It is The Trend
As mentioned above, Tesco has gone online selling even fresh products. 5 years back, who would be thinking of doing so? At United States, the market value of Amazon alone, is larger than all the brick and mortar retail businesses put together. This shows how strong and fast e-commerce is growing.
All in all, this is the right time to start your online business. Worry no more. Start selling online now or you will eventually lose your edge in the e-commerce era.
