If you are a person who has a physical store such as electronic, furniture or even a sports store, sells through social networks or plans to start your business, here we will explain what the main benefits of having your own virtual store.

• Sales 24/7 

One of the restrictions that a physical store has is that customer service is limited and depends a lot on the human capacity to open and close a store. Normally, any physical store has fixed opening hours and they have days when they are closed.

A virtual store allows you to attend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. There will be no holidays or holidays that decrease your sales, you will be 100% available to your customers, the main engine with which your business is kept alive.

• Costs are minimized

Probably the best benefit of having a virtual store. Think about the costs required to maintain your physical store. To the cost of the premises, add the costs of electricity, water, telephone, internet, installation, furniture, lighting, security cameras, security personnel, sales personnel, cleaning personnel, etc. Did you calculate the cost? It's so tall!

Entering the world of technology allows you to reduce the cost of exactly all the elements detailed above. Yes, all. You will only have to cover the subscription costs of your virtual platform, which is a minimum value compared to everything that is spent on the maintenance of a physical store.

• You do not require business premises

Thinking about the previous point, the location of your store is the highest cost you have, right? Well, there is excellent news, you do not require it to sell online. You can sell from the comfort of your home, storing your products in any free space you have.

Sure, this applies if your business is small. If you have a larger business, the news is still positive. The rent of a warehouse costs only 10% of what the rent of a commercial premises costs, so with a warehouse it will be enough to store the products that you will sell from your virtual store.

• You don't need staff

Those people, who do a great job of sales and customer service, will be replaced by technology.

Now there are many tools that, for a really low monthly cost, replace all the functions that a person who attends a physical store can do.

Can you imagine writing a message to a virtual store and being answered by a robot? Well, that already exists and may be included in your platform. Its name is a chatbot and it automatically gives you instant answers to your customers' questions.

• You sell from anywhere in the world

One of the great benefits of having a virtual store is that there are no barriers. Surely you have made or know someone who has made a purchase from a store in China. Have you ever imagined that a Chinese citizen makes a purchase from your furniture storestore? Can't go on a trip because you neglect your business? Welcome to the 2.0 world. Having a virtual store, no matter where you are geographically located, you will be able to sell from wherever and wherever you want.
