Does location matter for online businesses?

Free shipping is one of the methods to drive sales when you are selling online. A lot of selers add shipping fees to the product price and offer the prodct with free shipping. Buyer barely notices the aded prioce, they only see shipping is free.

If an online business added shipping fees to the price of a product I want to buy, is it not meant to be more expensive? I will find out easily and this will make me not buy from them because they are not honest with the tactics they are using to sell.

There is a very popular company in here and it is called "Daraz". It is one of the biggest retailers and one of the best online stores. You can find almost anything in there. However, even they have many franchises, despite the fact that they mostly operate online. They need to have franchise in order to deal with many customer complaints. Some customers contact them in order to return an item or file a complaint against the buyer or seller.

I believe that the obvious reasons why this company Daraz in your country takes their businesses online is because it gives them room to have more sales. By making use of good advertising and marketing strategy, they will be having so many customers that will boost their sales.
 
For me, nope. Other than attacks lol

But also it depends on what you have running as a business, people might sell products so in that case they are going to be focusing on postage and the cost of sending items over. Also, not every country might allow that item that they are selling and only based on UK people only.

Digital marketing is easy ;P

I believe that all businesses are always looking for strategies that is going to work best for them especially when it comes to being able to convince their customers that they are offering them something better than what their competitors are giving them in the same market. This is why some of them is going to do another thing using a different strategy and the other companies are going to do another thing using different strategy but both of them are always going to come up with almost the same end result.
 
Digital marketing is the key to unlocking sales in businesses. It makes it possible for your business to reach more customers and convince them to buy with your advertisement contents. If there's isn't digital marketing, businesses won't sell globally.

The biggest work that falls on having an online business where you have products and services to sell is in the marketing and advertising of the business. Before you can be able to sell, you must have done a lot on marketing and advertising to make your customers know more about the business and its products.
 
A lot of businesses and companies actually do their very best to see if it is possible to offer free shipping of the business products to their customers especially if the location of their customer is closed. This is so that they are not going to spend much on shipping. Most of the time, they will include the price of the shipping in their products in a way that the customers will not find out.

The fact remains that it might be also possible that a company may not be able to deliver the product to a specific location. This is when the location may become a big problem for the customer and for the business as well. Under such circumstances, they have to ask someone else in order to receive the product.

Yes, there are some locations with bad road network. It's not easy for companies to deliver their products in deep parts of those areas. There was a delivery I had from DHL coming from a company, they told me where they are going to stop at their last facility. I had to come there and pick up my item.

There are some location that will be almost impossible for delivery companies products to that particular place because there is no good road network for them to make use of in this kind of situation. Companies that are selling products to their customers will highlight those locations as area they cannot be able to deliver to.
