The Hidden Pot of Gold – Small Business eCommerce
Today, it is small businesses that are capitalizing on the real bounty of online selling, driving the most profitable (40% margins) and fastest growing (192%/year) segment of eCommerce ($3.6 billion per year in sales on eBay alone) (Source: Andale). When compared to the single digit gross margins and slow growth rates of the largest e-retailers, small business eCommerce success may very well represent the majority of commerce conducted over the Internet within the next two years. At the forefront of this trend, Andale is delivering selling tools for small businesses leveraging online marketplaces, managing the entire online sales process, and helping them to move up to three times as many items in half the amount of time and effort. Small businesses pay Andale a 2.95% transaction fee on all successful sales.
