Why Indian Brands Must Embrace E-Commerce
If you thought that shopping is a girl's thing, think again. Online shopping has dawned upon us and men are instantly hooked on to it. A recent survey shows that 65% of Indian online shoppers are male while the remaining 35% are female.
Online shopping is set to see greater heights in coming years, not just because of India's rising internet population, but also due to changes in the supporting ecosystem. Brands have made intensive efforts to improve grey areas such as logistics and payment gateways. Furthermore, the Indian consumer's perception of online shopping has undergone a drastic change, and only for the good.
Another survey which estimated India's Internet base to be around 150 million, said that Mumbai topped the list of online shoppers followed by Delhi, while Kolkata ranked third. Given these developments, even wholesale manufacturers (small and big) are now taking a keen interest in the country's e-commerce market.
To make the most of increasing online shopping trends, more companies are collaborating with retail and daily deal sites, the survey found. The products that are sold most are in the tech category, including mobiles, tablets, accessories, MP3 players, digital cameras, and the fashion category including shirts, tees, tops, jewellery and ethnic wear among others.
If you are a brand, you must know that e-commerce websites can vary dramatically in complexity depending on the extent of functionality, automation, and analytical capability. In simple words, your e-commerce website must be easy to navigate for the user and easy to add new content for you and easy to measure reach for your web analytics team.
