E-COMMERCE

 I have done research about the FAQ  structure on a website that related to my business, where I have got a brief regrading to types of questions that I have to implement on my website. The picture below shows the FAQ  page on that website. So, I have developed my FAQ  page on my website that including 5 different questions that related to employment announcements, common delivery question, and further questions about the policy of the website.  

I have designed customers database by using Excel programme. This information relates to the personal details of consumers that including names, address, postcodes, etc. Then, I created another database for products information such as product number, name, quantity, price, and stock sold, total cost, total sale, and profit. I changed the formation of the table in order to make the accessibility to the data more easier and clear. Then, I used a mathematical process to represent the total sales, then i applied this process to other cells which is an existing feature on Excel. I used the sum function to calculate the total sale. I selected the total sale cells for each product then I executed the process to see if it is work. This process applied as well on total cost and profit cells. Then, i used a pie chart to declare the percentage of products sold. The pie chart above shows the total cost for each product. This bar chart represents the profit for each product.

A database is an arranged groups of data architecture that provides easy access to search, update, or edit a stored data. Where It is being used as an archive to accumulate digital information and displayed it while it has required. In the early 1960s, the database was developed significantly but still not pliable, then, it has become more popular in 1980 when relational database was being used. Advantages: 1- Reducation of a data iteration. 2- increas the data coherence. 3-Simple way to integrate a stored data together. Examples: 1- Relational Database. 2- NoSQL Database. 3- Cloud Database.

The e-commerce depends on four types of marketing,  1- price. 2- product. 3- promotion. 4-place. These factors play a key role in the advertising aspect of any commerce enterprises. I have created my website to serve entrepreneurs and large companies, and that concentrate on the promotion, product and place. Almarai corporation is one of my competitors. The strategies of that company are focused on promotions and products. The products are being offered clearly for costumers by high-quality promotions, and comprehensive information for each product. https://www.almarai.com/en/brands/almarai/dairy-liquids/fresh-laban/

The initial attempt for E-Trade was in 1971, when a group of students from Standford University and Massachusetts Institution technology tried to pay an items by ARPAnet, the first version of the internet. However, This attempt did not rank as an accurate E-Commerce processing due to the operation legality, and some technical issues related to the lack of essential E-Commerce principles (Michael, 2018). (Youtube,2013) In 1979, the first online shopping was invented by Michael Aldrich. He began using a video text and two-way messages services (Thomas, 2015). These services aim to connect customers with retailers directly and allow users to order products from their house (Youtube,2013). Presently, many companies concentrate on the technology commerce to distribute their products and obtain new customers fastly. Thus, consumers can go shopping on the internet instead of making a significant effort to compare or order products by using the traditional methods. References: Thomas, J., 201...
