The e-commerce market has continued to develop through the past decade and has proven to be recession-proof even during the most tumultuous economic and political times.
In fact, worldwide e-com retail is projected to grow from 3.53 trillion U.S. dollars to over 6.54 trillion by 2023.
Canada’s significant digital population is no small player in this arena, proven to be exceptionally profitable. In late 2019 alone, e-commerce retail trade sales amounted to almost 25.4 billion Canadian dollars, with approximately 28.1 million Canadians have made purchases online and that number is expected to surpass 33 billion U.S. dollars by 2024.
Anyone would agree that e-commerce is inevitable, however, it is still overwhelming for most of us to manage. Just the thought of having to source through 1000’s of products invest in inventory, human labour and the multitude of logistics necessary for running an online shop is enough to keep us paralyzed.
This year, our team and selective readers picked NHP Direct as the supplier of the year. Votes were based on several key factors: Market Relevance, Convenience, Cost, Execution, Market expertise, Support.
NHPDIRECT allows for a seamless online experience saving you time, energy and money so that you can focus on doing what you do best, running your online business.
