Read the article below. Does the writer agree with your answers to 64?

 

According to the article, are the following statements true (T) or false (F)?

 

1. Companies which have mail order catalogues should sell online. ……

2. Office supplies are good products for an online business. …….

3. Busy people are good online customers. ……

4. It is bad news if your competitors are online. ……

5. Niche products are never successful online. ……

 

If you are unsure whether your business can sell successfully online, consider the following questions:
What do you sell? Products sold through catalogues and other direct channels usually do well on the web too. Some services, such as travel planning, are also suitable for online sales. Below is a list of types of products and services that might sell well online and those that may not.
Easy to sell online: · Products which can be sent easily through the post. · Services or goods which customers don’t need to see or touch before buying. · Things you need and have to buy often. · Technology products.
Difficult to sell online: · Products that are difficult to ship. · Services that can only sell in a local market. · Products which customers may want to customize to their own tasted / needs.
Are your customers online? The most important e-commerce question to ask is: Do your customers use the Internet? Do they go online to buy the kind of products and services you plan to sell? For example, if your customers have busy lifestyles, the time-saving advantages of shopping online may appeal to them.
Are your competitors online? It’s a good sign if your main competitors are already online. But you need to make your website different! For instance, if you want to sell children’s toys online, it may be difficult to complete against the e-commerce efforts of national toy store chains. Look for a niche market such as educational toys, or toys based on book characters – you may be able to compete more successfully. (from ProFile1)
