In America, retailers and distributors are used to purchasing online from e-commerce websites and paying with a credit card in order to restock their stores. Companies that manufacture industrial goods sell replacement parts, accessories, and small machines online.
In the United States, selling online has become a widespread practice in transactions between companies (so-called B2B commerce) and it's not only consumer goods that are sold online, but also industrial goods like replacement parts, accessories, and small tools.
There are different approaches to online sales. Companies must choose the online sales strategy thatís most in line with their market. Below are some examples of the most common strategies adopted for selling online in the United States using an e-commerce website:
- Direct sale to the public with credit card payments;
- Creation of a reserved area on the website and selling only to accredited customers after providing a password for accessing the reserved area. Here itís possible to create a different price list according to the customer who connects to the area;
- Development of a reserved area dedicated to agents / representatives who, accessing this reserved area, create and send online orders directly from their computer;
- Creation of a reserved area on the website from which clients can directly send orders;
- A website that is both B2C for selling to end consumers and B2B for selling to distributors. In this case each group of consumers will see different prices;
- Let's not forget Dropshipping: a way to enter the American market quickly, flexibly, and at low cost.
