Standing Out in a Saturated E-Commerce Market

StandoutStanding out by bringing your business online is not enough; it used to be that being online gave you the leg up. But with technology advancing at such a fast pace, the e-Commerce market is becoming more saturated with more competition than ever. The benefits of being online are clear and everyone wants in. Now the challenge is to stand out by excelling in the industry where a lot of the competition is neck and neck – it comes down to what differentiates you as a company (your unique sales proposition, your target, your strong points) and how you convey that in your e-Commerce site.

Having an e-commerce website doesn’t mean it’s its own entity – it’s an extension of your brand and company. It should also be an extension of your ERP (like Microsoft Dynamics Business Central NAV). Here are some ways you can stand out with an integrated webshop solution.

There is the idea of “content shock” which claims we are bombarded by content and it will overwhelm us to the point of us shutting it out. It has been long thought that the sheer volume of news and information available to the public would cause more harm than good. With time, our behaviours have changed. We learned to adapt to the digital age and instead of feeling overwhelmed, we are empowered by all the information available to us and the many diverse ways we can get it. What we’ve learned is to be selective. It’s much harder to grab and hold our attention. We’ve become ruthless in what we choose to give time and attention to.
