1. The Ecommerce scenario has ample of reasons to cheer about as it has seen a
growth even in the most worst economic conditions. There has been ample of hue
and cry about the bad economic conditions of prevailing in all around the world.
Yes the economic conditions are quite bad but consider this even in bad economic
conditions people will not stop buying necessary items for their household.
Whether its some electronic gadget or for that matter any edible product.
Web portals like the homedepot.com, pcrichard.com, lowes.com, jcpenney.com
etc are doing brisk business. The reason behind their success can be attributed to
the fact that these organizations have low operating costs and huge savings in
terms of the infrastructural expenditure they would have incurred had they built
their organizations in terms of brick and mortar. This expenditure when saved
goes into the reason for these web portals offering cool discounts and deals that
are quite hard to believe.
Generally these portals have an arrangement with many manufacturers and
wholesalers that gives them an edge. Considering the case of P.C. Richard & Son,
a leading appliance and electronics retailer that began as a small hardware store
in Brooklyn in 1909, when it was founded by Peter Christian Richard. It was
transformed by his son, A.J., into what is now America’s #1 family owned
appliance and electronics retailer.

dotcom world.

outlets in many parts of the USA. Customers can find great deals on a wide variety
of exciting products at P.C. Richard & Son, from major appliances and consumer
electronics, including Refrigerators, Microwaves, HDTV’s, Digital Cameras and

There are consumers who have been shopping throughout the economic crisis
and organizations like PC Richard have taken full advantage of this buying
pattern. The economy is slowly and steadily picking up and will surely bounce
back with so many corrections in place.
