Is E-Commerce Recession Proof?
Everybody is affected by a slow economy. Whether your actual income has decreased is another story but it is safe to say that the vast majority of Americans have suffered in some way from a less than perfect economic system. Is E-Commerce immune to a slowing or recessing economy, and what does this mean for you?
E-commerce and Internet sales have been on the rise ever since the Internet first hit mainstream. This day and age, we are able to buy vacations, sporting goods, clothing, electronics, insurance, cars, lawn mowers, and anything else you can dream of. It would make sense for such a huge, varying industry to follow suit with the rest of commerce but studies are showing that this is quite the contrary. Though Internet sales are slowing, in many cases, e-commerce has proven to be quite resilient.
Why does the Internet thrive so well in such a terrible economy? Speculators suggest the idea that with more and more consumers pinching their pennies and trying to find better ways to spend their money, they are turning to the greatest place to find the right price, the Internet. Also, studies have shown that the affluent, being the minority, make up a majority of the Internet revenue. So these groups of people who do not worry about the recession are still spending as if there were no problems.
E-commerce has slowed just like the rest of our economy but it has stilled proved to be extremely resistant in the face of a bad economy. What does this mean for you?
