Boost your profits by accepting online payments
Research reveals nearly nine in ten independent businesses expect to accept online payments by the end of next year, with digital sales set to rise from 64 per cent to 88 per cent by 2018 according to Amazon.
The rise in businesses planning to use e-commerce in 2018 is said to be motivated by the growth in business owners planning to start selling via their own website (rising from 50 per cent to 68 per cent) and mobile apps (increasing from 13 per cent to 24 per cent), if they have one. The research also suggests that businesses who use e-commerce expect to see faster revenue and job growth next year.
Doug Gurr, Amazon UK country manager says, “The contrast in performance between businesses who use e-commerce and those that don’t is significant, so it’s reassuring for the UK economy to see small businesses investing in digital,”
