E-Commerce is conducting business over the Internet. There are many applications of E-Commerce such as selling products and services to end consumers and businesses. One of the most popular uses of E-Commerce is the Internet store front used for selling products to consumers. The Internet is a very effective media to sell your company's product and services to a wide spectrum of customers.

Even though many of the dot com companies of the late 1990's have gone out of business since the dot com stock market bubble burst, E-Commerce has kept on growing steadily, proving consumers are adopting the Internet as one of their preferred shopping channels. There has been a significant growth in E-Commerce expenditure since 1995 and the actual numbers are expected to grow at a phenomenal rate in this decade.

Contrary to many people's misconception, there are many profitable E-Commerce companies in existence, specially those that tapped the Internet as an additional marketing channel to their brick and mortar operations. Companies such as The Gap, Best Buy, Sports Authority and many others have seen their Internet sales soar in the last two years. Business Week has predicted small and medium size companies are going to see the most benefit of E-Commerce as they will be able to access a much larger customer base with reduced overhead. In a study conducted by Business Week this year, most small companies with less than 100 employees had profitable E-Commerce operations netting an average of $500,000 yearly.
