Better selection of unique gifts 60%
Easier to find, distinctive gifts 53%

Once launched, an ecommerce site, unlike a physical location, requires little overhead and creates improved efficiencies in point-of-sale transactions, which result in increased profits.

An ecommerce website offers still another profit-earning advantage for small businesses: Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a "virtual storefront" continues to generate revenue even when the owner is asleep or away.
