The world is changing at a rapid pace, and a big culprit of this is technology. Now, nearly everything can be done electronically, and a large culprit of our expanding electronic world is e-commerce. E-commerce is growing at a rate of 20% a year, pushing brick and mortar stores to the wayside, or at least forcing them to innovate constantly. E-commerce sites are able to understand their user’s behavior quickly and tailor advertisements to their specific wants. People are more likely to make a quick purchasing decision when it is a click away, rather than a drive away.

The rate of change within the technology industry is only making it easier for people to conduct business online. Open source software, advertising opportunities, access to cost-effective and efficient tools such as payment portals, are a few of the ways business owners are using e-commerce to help their business thrive.
