Behind my social media monitoring platform (oh yes, we\u2019re pretty high-tech at Exo!), I saw several blog posts on the boom of e-commerce or, in other words, electronic commerce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/2013\/02\/05\/ecommerce-sales-top-1-trillion-worldwide\/\">One of the most recent articles on the topic<\/a> was published by Mashable, which cites some (large) figures of e-commerce in 2012. Loosely, the article demonstrates that this sales channel represented 1 trillion dollars in 2012, mainly in the US, China and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, e-commerce is booming and is often accused (rightly or wrongly) of closing down more traditional stores. It might be Mike Pratt, President of Best Buy and quoted in <a href=\"https:\/\/affaires.lapresse.ca\/economie\/commerce-de-detail\/201301\/31\/01-4616975-best-buy-et-future-shop-ferment-15-grands-magasins-.php\">an article from the francophone online news website La Presse<\/a>, who says it best: \u201cThe retail landscape is in full transformation and our success depends on our ability to evolve with it\u201d (free translation).<\/p>\n<p>So I suggest to you three e-commerce solutions adapted to the needs of your company. Of course I\u2019ll only discuss solutions that we\u2019ve already tested, even though there are plenty of others out there.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Amazon:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without necessarily reinventing the wheel, Amazon allows companies to sell directly on their own websites. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/switch-language\/seller-account\/mm-product-page.html\/ref=topnav_switchLang?ie=UTF8&amp;language=en_CA&amp;ld=AZFooterSOA&amp;topic=200341890\">For $29.99 a month<\/a> (without counting the commissions on each sale), this solution might be of interest to small companies whose products align themselves with Amazon\u2019s departments (books, electronics, tools and building supplies, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Magento Go:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With plans ranging from <a href=\"https:\/\/go.magento.com\/plans\/\">$15 to $125 a month<\/a>, the \u201cGo\u201d version of Magento targets small and medium-sized companies. Whether it\u2019s platform design, managing payments or orders, <a href=\"https:\/\/go.magento.com\/features\">this platform has everything of the big leagues<\/a>, yet is still simple to use!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Magento Enterprise Edition:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here we enter the big leagues: Nike, Nespresso, Lindt, Olympus. With pricing ranging from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magentocommerce.com\/product\/enterprise-pricing\">$14,420 to $49,990 a year<\/a>, it\u2019s obvious that these solutions target large and very large companies. However, make sure that you\u2019ll be able to transpose your entire web sales strategy through an easily customizable platform.<\/p>\n<p>Write us if you have questions or wish to share your e-commerce stories with us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first month of 2013 is over but many predictions were made.
