No Geographical Limitation
A traditional brick and mortar shop was effective in an age where ordering and shipping to far places was a logistical issue. If one had to buy something available only in a neighboring state or city, one had to physically go to the shop to buy it. But, digital transformation bought the technological know-how to take the business ‘online’. With an eCommerce website or a mobile app there are no geographical restrictions. A customer thousands of miles away can buy the product you are selling on the eCommerce website!
Showcase Products to Wider Audience
Digital revolution has made the biggest impact on worldwide exposure.
