Should you consider starting your own e-commerce platform?
Various factors can determine how successful an e-commerce platform will be. These factors are;
• Price of the goods
• Quality of customer service
• Quality of product sold
• Average age of your target market
• Extent of social networking
These factors do not work independently of each other. Understand each one of them and be able to fully utilise them in connection with each other. For instance, social networking will probably not be so effective if your target market age is above 60 years as compared to if they are less than 40 years of age and below.
Studies have also shown that 2 of the most used social media platforms are Facebook and Instagram. Hence the most result would be gotten if these platforms are used for the majority of social media marketing and even as advertising tools.
Online shopping in Spain
A 2017 research showed the percentage of online shoppers in Spain to be about 67.4%. This figure, although quite high, has increased years after. This is high compared to the 52.2 percent of online shoppers in countries like Italy.
More Spanish citizens have also adapted the use of mobile phones for online shopping. This has also increased the rate of their online shopping as a result of easy accessibility to the user device.
With the use of social media platforms, Spanish people are more inclined to buy online because the advertising means is familiar to them. This is a drastic change from their previous distrust in online buying of products.
Emerging trends that will overtake the eCommerce market are the use of artificial intelligence as a sales tool. Other tools such as voice commerce and multichannel purchases are also very promising.
Therefore, it is a great decision to hop on this ever-growing industry of eCommerce and maximise its potential because it tends to get bigger every day.
