Should you become a Brick and Mortar, E-Commerce, or Brick and Click Operation?

The Blogtrepreneur has a great entry showing some of the pros and cons of each of the different ideas and gives you examples of each.

One thing I would say is that your only true options are E-Commerce or Brick N Click. Any retail operation no matter how small today needs to have a online presence and should have ecommerce capabilities.

Now saying E-commerce to some peoples scares them to death. They think of big expensive servers, lots of techies running around and a system very complicated run. Actually there are a number of web hosting services and a number of of them included E-Commerce options. The only thing you will have to learn is the software to design the website but there are a number of easy to use options.

If the concept still scares you take a class on building a website. Most Community Colleges have them and often will have them at night in order to meet your schedule.

So Bricks N Click or E-Commerce, it's your choice. Posted by: John Dornoff    Source
