Why are we in this world, or the beginning of the way

    Hello habra

    Honestly, at first I really wanted to start the blog pompously, with the statements of the management, to talk about how our services will change the world and make it more beautiful, but ... We are not here for this, and our main goal is not self-promotion, but communication and exchange of live experience. That is why, our first post will be devoted directly to what we know about, i.e. ecommerce.

    A good academic tone would be a link to a dictionary. Although we are not academicians, we’ll give a definition, so:

    E-commerce is a term used to denote commercial activity on the Internet. Provides the ability to make purchases, sales, service, marketing activities through the use of computer networks.

    So, we can say that e-commerce is the same entrepreneurial activity, only brought to the network. So, in fact, nothing is complicated in it. But, since e-commerce is young in Russia and in the world, few people know about it. Therefore, we will briefly describe how it looks in the world and in Russia.

    In the whole world, and in Russia as well, it is developing. And explosive pace. Here are some interesting numbers:

    The most famous online store in history, Amazon.com, for the last quarter alone, sold $ 6.57 billion worth of goods, which is comparable to the GDP of a small country. And this is only one store ... By the way, this store has another achievement, in 12 months, goods worth $ 1 billion were sold through mobile devices.

    Unfortunately, we could not find the latest data on Russian stores, but we found out that about 2.3 million people are engaged in electronic commerce, which you will agree with is not enough. Moreover, in the future this figure will only increase, since now there is an active connection of new users to the network, as a result, the market will grow.

    In addition, there is something in common, and in Russia and in the world the number of users of online stores is growing. Recent research in this area has shown that 8 out of 10 Russians in the past year have bought or paid for something on the Internet. E-commerce is coming, and we won’t leave it anywhere.

    Instead of an afterword:

    Of course, it’s very difficult to talk about e-commerce in a blog format. Fortunately, this topic is interesting, and poorly developed, and you can write a whole book about it. In the next article, we will talk about such a thing as mobile payments, a direction that is developing rapidly, and which few people know about. Stay tuned!
