Picture your store in the middle of Conroe. Isn't it lovely? But of course there is a limit to how many people can come in. If you have an e commerce website you can sell to anyone on the Internet.
When you have an online store you don't have to worry about how many people walk by your store on Oak Ridge North or where Montgomery's Road might lead. People from Dallas to Denmark could be looking at your stuff at any time though.
Yes a lot of people look into this and studies show that more and more people are shopping online. The U.S. Census Bureau says that by the end of 2021 e commerce made up more than 15% of all retail sales in the U.S. The trend isn't just going up it's going up quickly.
Think about how great it would be if you didn't have to lock the doors at night. Your shop is open all day every day. You'd probably be happy but tired right? Your store is always open for business online and the best part is that you don't have to stay up all night to watch it.
If you run an online store you don't have to pay for the electricity for a neon sign or hire people to work overnight. If you want to you can save money. You will really see the benefits of the work you put into your online store and advertising.
Customers can buy things on your site even in the middle of the night when they have a great idea for a gift or want to restock on their favorite item.
Anyone who walks into your store is a piece of data. But it's hard to remember and use that information well unless you have a photographic memory or enjoy taking surveys. But your online store can give you a lot of helpful information.
If you have the right tools you can see which products get the most views where your visitors come from and why they might leave without buying. You can see how customers act on sites like Google Analytics without breaking their privacy.
Conroe is a nice place to live but how great would it be if people from all over the world knew the name of your store? That's not just good for business it's the next step in making a brand. Your online store is more than just a place to buy things it's also a digital ambassador for your brand.
It tells the world about the story behind your store. Customers can read your story browse your collections and make smart choices all at once. Warby Parker and other brands like it started out online told a unique story and now everyone knows who they are. This is all because of smart online positioning and presence.
Your story is also very special. You could sell handmade goods made by local artists or your toys could make family game nights more fun. People in Sydney or Sao Paulo can learn about your mission values and vision from the comfort of their own homes or while having coffee.
Lastly and most importantly e commerce isn't just an option it's something you have to do to stay competitive. We've seen companies go out of business because they couldn't adapt fast enough. You might sink if you only do things the old way in a world that changes quickly.
These aren't just short term changes they could be pandemics changes in the economy or even just customers' expectations changing. They're small steps toward a digital future. According to Statista global e retail sales hit over 2 trillion U.S. dollars in 2020 and they keep going up.
An online store is another useful tool that can help you get through markets that are hard to predict. You have more freedom than just being limited by the space you have. Your seasonal sales special offers and all that other store stuff? They are just as important online as they are in person.
You can not only stay alive but also help your store grow by keeping up with digital trends and being where your customers are.
In short if Conroe stores have a smart e commerce plan they can reach more people stay flexible and build long lasting relationships with customers from all over the world. It's not just about making more money in a way. It's about letting more people feel the warmth and richness of Conroe one click at a time.
