(Toronto, Ontario, Canada) For the past two years, an onlinecompany, AlgraOnline.com, has been helping Canadian companies penetrate the onlinemarketplace. It has been extremely difficult for Canadian companies to establisheffective Internet presences when faced with the many difficulties of entering theUS-dominated Internet marketplace. AlgraOnline has been working to facilitateeCommerce for Canadian businesses; they believe that the Internet is an inexpensive,yet effective medium that can be used to both strengthen brand recognition, and toincrease overall revenues.
As of 2006, Internet sales comprised of over $170 billion in North America. Ninetypercent of these sales occur in the United States because only 7% of Canadiancompanies have an effective Internet presence. According to the 2005 Survey ofElectronic Commerce and Technology in Canada, Canadian businesspeople have beenresisting the Internet for several reasons.
First and foremost, many businesspeople are reluctant to change a profitablebusiness plan. This is a hazardous stance to take because change is coming. Thenext generation of consumers will no longer randomly browse department stores. Instead, young consumers are now using the Internet as an information source toresearch their purchasing decisions, before committing to purchases.
Secondly, many businesses do no think that their products can be sold online. However, any consumable or discretionary product which can be shipped by UPS, can bedirectly-marketed to any consumer in North America. The product does not even haveto be sold online to benefit from an online presence. For example, car manufacturersare quickly realizing that consumers are utilizing the Internet to research carpurchases. Therefore, car manufactures with effective websites are generating moredealership sales as a result of their Internet positioning.
The final reason many businesses resist the Internet is because of logistics. Because most shopping cart solutions cater primarily to United States businesses,there are not many readily available solutions for Canadians. Furthermore, Canadiancompanies need to obtain access to several credit card merchants in order to handlemultiple card types (E.g. Visa, Mastercard) and multiple currencies.
AlgraOnline.com has put together a hassle-free, turn-key solution that includeswebsite design, shopping cart customization, catalogue updates, multi-currencycredit card merchants, and Internet marketing. According to a companyrepresentative, their comprehensive package is guaranteed to increase sales of theirclients because of their two-pronged marketing approach. Through establishing andmarketing their clientsÂ' Internet presences, they can both generate direct salesfrom the online stores, and also push sales to more traditional retail outlets.
