E-Commerce Has Hit the Mainstream

    Now, when the Wall Street Journal looks at the trend of e-commerce as a potential haymaker, the business tycoons - and those who want to be, had better stand up, and take notice.

    Just as it was, going from the telephone to the cell phone, just as it was, going from antenna television to cable TV(and now satellite), e-commerce is going to be around for a long while. In that same WSJ article, Internet sales will grow 10% per year for the next 5 years, including this one. By that time, the projected total of online retail will be close to $300 billion. More and more consumers are going online for their goods and services.

    It is no longer just a Black Friday or Cyber Monday novelty. Online shopping is quickly becoming a 12-months out of the year sport. Companies are shifting a lot of their marketing efforts towards the online trends.

    With Walmart slowly converting to same day pickups from an online order, and stores such as Best Buy and Nordstrom just trying to get their feet into the water, most of the other retail giants will soon follow suit, if they aren't already. Evolution has the 21st century, via the information age.

The Trend Is Catching On

    As the world of online shopping grows bigger and bigger, one of the heavyweights of the business world has jumped into the ring, as Microsoft has officially entered the Internet retail industry. It goes to show that the spending power of the American consumer is not going anywhere, regardless of the shape today's current economy is in.

    People are still traveling, still heading to the malls, and still buying goods and services, and now, online. Even Twitter has joined in. Too bad that none of those places pay commissions to the customer, or for their referrals.

    While companies like Microsoft are adapting, other companies are not, thus having to close their doors. Places such as Borders and Blockbuster Video have filed for Chapter 11, with a lot of others following suit. Even the giants at Best Buy have seen a 5% drop in their U.S. revenues. Times are certainly changing.

    With shopping being a 12-month sport, you have all kinds of holidays to prepare for such as St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, just to name the next 3, not to mention high school and college graduations in June.

    If there was ever a time to get ahead of the trend, now is it. Just ask the big boys.
