E-commerce Entrepreneurs Summit 2017

I have been invited by BlogAdia to join the E-Commerce Summit held here in Davao City.  And this is what I have learned regarding E-Commerce.

So what is E-commerce? E-commerce is basically just like regular commerce but on a different setting.  E-commerce stands for electronic commerce which means you are doing business online through the internet, just like when purchasing products and services using the internet.  Doing business online makes it easier for sellers to showcase their products without the need to bring all their merchandise to a location, as for the buyer using e-commerce to search for products and services makes it easier to search and purchase the things or services you need.

Here are some of our speakers who shared and educated us on e-commerce and the benefits of it.

After spending a whole day listening about E-commerce, I have learned a lot about how commerce has evolved from the traditional method to the digital method. It is really important for us as entrepreneurs to adapt to the changing times, to be able to maintain our customers and stay competitive.  Nowadays traditional methods are simply not that effective like it used to, millenials (how they like to call themselves) now are more focused online than ever.  Traditional advertising still works but to be able to reach the younger generations or the millenials, we as entrepreneurs should also adapt to the online advertising since it is cheaper and could reach a larger group of potential customers.
