Online Stores are a Key Growth Tool for Small Businesses

E-Commerce presents the most significant growth opportunity for a wide range of U.S. small businesses. The number of these companies selling goods and services online grew from 850,000 at the end of 1999 to 2.9 million in 2003.

According to Forrester Research, Inc., e-commerce sales will increase at a steady 19 percent year-over-year rate, rising to $229 billion in 2008 from an estimated $95.7 billion in 2003. By 2008, online retail sales will account for 10 percent of total U.S. retail sales.

In today's world, you need to sell online in order to stay competitive (IDC 2000).

Unfortunately, many e-commerce solutions are highly complex and expensive to set up. And if your storefront isn't sophisticated, it is difficult to attract and keep customers. StoreSense is easy and provides customers with all the features they've come to expect from web stores.
