e- Commerce
The first step is a very simple level, and essentially it's just about building a In addition to its
geographical site, businesses appear on the Internet as well. It Provides any information on the
business to the consumer and offers the company An ability to advertise herself online. On a step
one website, contact information and, for example, opening hours will be shown. The second

level is a much more mature stage. This gives the user a chance to engage with the business via
the website. This sort of website may be added to target advertisements and, for example , a
business news section. Compared with stage one, it often needs upgrades and further repairs on
behalf of the organisation. The third phase varies a lot from the first two phases, since this is the
phase when the money continues to pass. This gives the buyer a opportunity to buy merchandise
or a catalogue. This level is just one step away from the final stage due to the transactional
possibilities. The fourth step provides the organisation with a complete incorporation of Internet
technologies. This establishes the two-way interaction between the client and the enterprise, with
some details given by both parties to each other. It can be on behalf of clients, such as product
information, pricing details, business process details, company values and notifications. This
may mean order specifics, customer details, billing and mailing addresses, and order location
approval on the customer's behalf. This is the stage where the performance of the online tuck
shop will take place.

deterioration. The survey notes that 38% of the people who responded said they spend more
money online shopping than ever. Furthermore, 54% said the total was around the same,
although just 8% said they spent less money on online shopping. This may be because internet
rates are cheaper in certain ways than those in local shops, and perhaps because online shopping
is considered more popular and secure than ever. An fascinating thing about this business
strategy is that the number of people online who purchase equipment for their hobbies continues
to rise. The report also reveals that 71 percent normally shop in Finnish, domestic, web shops. In
mainly international online markets, just 7 percent shop and the remaining 22 percent Shop in
both international and domestic online retailers similarly.
