A review on a post on e-tailing from My E-Commerce blog.

Recently I have review on a post on e-Tailing from My E-Commerce blog, http://ecommerze.blogspot.com/search/label/e-Tailing. Now I would like to share my opinion with you.

In my mind, the online sales goods consumers purchased should be something related to computer like hardware and software. I think most of the people will think so too. However, from the blog, I found that, there is a change in 2006 showing that consumers spent more on clothes rather than computers.

It is surprisingly for me to know that, the spending for apparel, accessories and footwear sales hit US$18.3 (RM64) billion as compare to US$17.2 (RM60) billion for computers. This result is reported by Shop.org. There is a different of US$1.1(RM4) billion. In my opinion, this is because after sales service is more important for computer compare to clothes. Consumers will prefer purchases computer in physical market rather than by online transaction. Besides, the quality of online product is suspicion. Computer is much more expensive compare to clothes. If there is default in online product and cannot be exchange, consumers would not like to buy things which are expensive.

The online travel expenses is US$73.4 billion of the online transactions, topping the e-tailing market. This shows that, many people spend on online traveling. In my opinion, this is because online traveling may have discount compare to physical market. Traveling company try to avoid agent fees which need in physical market to reduce cost. This will bring more profit for the traveling company. For consumers, they also benefit from discount given online.

Credit Card debts: Causes and Prevention

Bankruptcy is a very real possibility for many people these days. Credit card debt is the one of the factor that cause most of the people suffered. It is because credit card is convenience to them buying without carry cash around. Many people lack the knowledge of how to handle credit and have attitudes that suggest that debt is acceptable. Other than that, Poor planning, overspending, lack of savings, high-interest loans also will lead to owing too much of credit card debt.

Following are 4 steps to prevent credit card debt.

Step 1: create a budget. A clear budget that includes all the monthly bill entertainment, food will prevent from over spending.

Step 2: maintain clear financial records and a regular payment schedule. When you pay your bills on time and you able to determine hoe much you have to spend for the month ahead.

Step 3: only use credit when you can pay it off within a few months. The longer it takes you to pay off the debt, the more interest that debt will incur and the more you will end up paying.

Step 4: Shred or tear up credit card applications that come to you in the mail. Just because you get the application doesn't mean you need or want the card. Destroying the application will prevent you from using it and protect you from potential identity thieves

Mobile payment is a point-of-sale payment made through a mobile device. Mobile payment system characterized themselves by their flexibility of application possibilities (mobile commerce), high convenience (wallet function), and high diversity with account methods, access methods, and so forth.

With 25 million mobile phone subscribers in Malaysia, there are huge opportunities to speed the development of mobile payment as well as to provide an effective method of delivering financial services even in the remote areas. In recent years, various mobile banking and payment initiatives have been launched. This however, has yet to achieve widespread acceptance. To date, there are only 1.8% of the 25 million subscribed for mobile payment service in the country. There is, therefore, a significant untapped and potentially lucrative market for mobile payment and banking services.

Mobile Money (MM Wallet) is a PIN-based Mobile Payment Solution designed by Mobile Money International Sdn Bhd to address the limitations created by cash, cheques and credit cards. It's money in your mobile. You can make payment to anyone, at anytime, from anywhere by using a mobile phone coupled with a 6-digit security PIN via SMS. It is the next generation of money. It's like what mobile phone brings to the world of fixed line phone. It is safe, secure and convenient.

Finally, to encourage consumers to adopt the m-payment, it is hoped that the market participants will be able to offer new mobile payment services that opens up new markets for mobile service providers and payment operators, offer the convenience at reasonable costs and thus deliver the cost savings and efficiency gains that consumers seek. In addition, for mobile payment system to succeed, it is needed to strengthen consumer confidence in the safety, security and reliability of mobile networks as a means for consumers to access financial services.

How to safeguard our personal and financial data?

1. Keep our personal and sensitive data off your computer- Nowadays, there are many network threats that hack into our computer. We might not know when our computer is being infected by the virus or spyware program; therefore, we must try our best to keep our personal and sensitive data such as bank account numbers, passwords etc off from our computer. Lots of people tend to leave their computers on for long periods of time and it can be compromised at any time, so if there is no data to steal, then we have already done a lot to prevent data theft. If we really want it on our computer, then at least make sure we encrypt it using certain security program.
2. Avoid saving credit card info, etc on shopping sites- It is quite risky to save our credit card info on shopping site such as Amazon, eBay to avoid repeatedly type; someone might eventually hack into their database and downloads thousands of credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.
3. Only connect to secure wireless networks if you can- We must always aware of not to connect to any unknown wireless network. Connecting to non-secure wireless networks is asking for trouble. Therefore, we must make sure we connect to known wireless network instead of simply connecting to an unknown network.
4. Clear your browser’s cache after an online transaction- We must always remember not to save our password in the computer. Sometimes we will get message from our browser asking us whether we want it to automatically save your passwords, etc, click NO.
5. Make sure anti-virus and anti-spyware are installed and up-to-date- We can either buy excellent anti-virus programs like Kaspersky Anti-Virus or free programs like AVG, which is pretty good too. Either way, make sure we have something installed. However, most people usually stop there and don’t install any anti-spware programs. That’s a big mistake! Nowadays, spyware programs send our data to their creators so they can make money. Some good anti-spyware apps are Windows Defender, SpySweeper, SpywareBlaster, AdWare, and Spybot Search and Destroy.
6. Use a secure Internet browser when you are online- Firefox is considered more secure than IE and that’s what a number of sites also have tested. IE 7 has more security features than ever before, but it still has lots of holes also. Using a more secure browser can help protect against browser hijacking, etc. Anyway, most viruses are written for IE since it’s more common, so it’s more likely to be hacked.

Sometimes, when you receive an email request an update to your payment details, and a hacker gains access to your bank account. You've probably seen your share of phishing attacks, which look like communications from your bank, PayPal, eBay, or another online account.

Phishing: Examples and its Prevention Methods

Phishing is defined by committing fraud to get financial information to trick people into providing bank or credit-card information by sending a fraudulent e-mail purporting to be from bank, internet provider, etc. They will be asked to disclose personal information such as credit card number, validation code, password or personal identification number.
Here is the common example for phishing that found in Msn e-mail for asking personal information. In order to prevent yourself for becoming next victims, there are some ways to protect yourself.
First, NEVER GIVE sensitive personal information in an e-mail, instant message or pop-up window. Just delete it. Most legitimate and established businesses will not use these methods to ask for passwords, account, or credit card numbers or other confidential information.
Second, be wary of clicking a link in a message or pop-up window. If you get an e-mail, instant message or pop-up window that asks for personal information, DO NOT CLICK any link the link as it would take you to a phony site where any information you give may be sent to the scam artist who built it.
Third, improve your computer’s security. Microsoft suggests that you use a firewall, install antivirus software and update it routinely, and keep your Windows and Office software up to date.
If someone had stolen your identity, you should IMMEDIATTELY file a report with the police and IMMDEDIATELY change the passwords on all your accounts. On the other hand, send the fraudulent message with its original header to the company that has been misrepresented. The company may have a special e-mail address to report such abuse. For example, if you received phisher e-mail from a fake “MSN”, you should send it to abuse@msn.com site.

REMEMBER: No legitimate company will ever send out an e-mail for asking confidential information! No matter how real they look, they are phishing scams!!

The History and Evolution of E-commerce

Sometimes it seems like e-commerce has always been a part of our lives. Most of us make business transactions online on such a regular basis. E-commerce became possible in 1991 when the Internet was opened to commercial use. Since that date thousands of businesses have taken up residence at web sites. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is developed in the late 1970s it is widely viewed as the beginning of ecommerce which gave an opportunity for users to exchange business information and do electronic transactions.

In 1984, the ASC X12 standard became stable and reliable in transferring large amounts of transactions. In1992 the Mosaic web-browser was made available, it was the first ‘point and click’ browser. During the year 1994, Netscape arrived. It provides users a simple browser to surf the Internet and a safe online transaction technology called Secure Sockets Layer. In 1995, Amazon.com and eBay.com were launched and we really started seeing the type of e-commerce that we’re used to today. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is another key moment in the development to of e-commerce. DSL allowed quicker access and a persistent connection to the Internet.

From the Internet to Intranets to Extranets has been a speedy development in the past 5 years. The 3 C’s of first generation E-commerce: Content, Community, and Commerce have now evolved into 7 C’s of second generation E-commerce: Content, Community, Commerce (e.g. Amazon), Communication (e.g. Doubleclick), Connectivity (e.g. Cisco), Collaboration (Mercata), and Customization (e.g. Netperceptions). Each of these C’s reflect an evolution of features that it enabling automated processes to extending these processes externally with other consumers as well as business partners.

B2C (Business to Consumer) models have been tried and tested during the first generation of E-commerce boom, but the newer trends are toward B2B (Business to Business) and Click-and-Mortar models. Generic models of B2C commerce are outdated and newer efforts are needed to leverage the untapped potential offered in the digital medium.

An Example of an E-Commerce Success and its Cause – Amazon.com

Amozon.com was launched in 1999 and was best known as the first online retailer of the internet world. It leads to sale books with its wide range that related to a variety of subjects and topics. It also is the only website that contains web books, business brands and retails on a single web-based business. Besides leads to sale books, it also offers a variety of electronic items such as video, wireless cell phone, software, music and many more stuff.

The strong organizational and effective team management strategies has make Amazon.com immensely gained economic profits in the e-commerce world. The customer relation management is one of the key elements of its success. Teams are small and the staffs are assigned authority and empowered to solve a problem as a service in anyway they feel fit. They also work from the customer backward and focus on value delivered to the customer. Furthermore, the efficiency in dealing the customers and making them a priority as providing exceptional customer services make Amazon.com on top of all the other e-commerce companies.

There are some policies that used by Amazon.com, such as “E-mail Your Friends About Your Book” that authors can introduce to their friends and families with the books. With the “Rate This Items” feature, they also can rank their own book and the more chances it has of being highly ranked in the overall Amazon system, the better sale on Amazon.

With its best marketing techniques and expertise in relation to the market trends and demands of its customers, it leads Amazon.com achieve tremendous success in the field of e-commerce.

An example of E-Commerce failure and its cause – Pets.Com.

One of the top ten Dot-com failure is Pets.com. Pets.com was launched in November 1998 and initially was deemed successful as it sought to conquer the market of selling pet supplies direct to customers and accessories over the internet. Furthermore, the appearance of pets.com sock puppet mascot was became so popular that appear in a multimillion-dollar Super Bowl commercial and as a balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But it is a dramatic change like many other Dot.com failures continued to experience drops in the share price over the next ten month and have to declare bankrupt.

The causes of its failure may consist of poor business plan such as the company had to undercharge for shipping costs to attract customers but it actually lost money on most of the items it sold, so that purchasing online offered no real benefit whether it is in regards to price or convenience. Moreover, after their customers made an order, they need to wait for few days to actually get it. Furthermore, the hierarchy of the company was in shambles as the CEO and managing body had little experience in running a company, it may lead to the lack of a sufficient business proposal. Other than that, the idea of pets.com was inadequate. They failed to give the customer enough reason to purchase pet goods via the internet rather than their traditional source.

How E-commerce can reduce cycle time, improve employees’ empowerment, and facilitate customer support?

E-commerce becomes more important recently. There are many impacts of e-marketplaces on B2C direct marketing. E-commerce can reduce cycle time, improve employees’ empowerment, and facilitate customer support.

A business process begins with a customer’s need and ends with a customer’s need fulfillment. Business Processes are designed to add value for the customer and should not include unnecessary activities. In e-marketplaces, the business process can be reduced. The delivery time of digitized products and services can be reduced to seconds. Also, the administrative work related to physical delivery, especially across international borders, can be reduced significantly, cutting the cycle time by more than 90 percent. Besides, cycle time can be reduced through improvements along the supply chain.

E-commerce also can improve employees’ empowerment since more information is provided easily. Employees can search any information in the network. This is useful for them to make decision. A more cost-effective, robust network has helped deliver significant savings to BankAtlantic shareholders while improving network performance by providing faster application response times to customer service representatives at individual stores and its customer service centers. BankAtlantic has also realized an improvement to its business continuity capabilities through incorporating complete network redundancy of their core application throughout their enterprise.

Customer service can be greatly enhanced by enabling customers to find detailed information online. For example, FedEx and other shippers allow customers to trace the status of their packages. Beside that, many company using FAQ, which is self help customer support. Some company also provides search engine to save time in searching the company’s product. Usually, this company is selling different models of product. For example, Nokia is providing search engine.

Other than that, E-commerce also can provide product promotion, direct savings, customization, advertising, ordering system, market operations and so on.
