Answer-
Yes, I think that online presence reduces business risk. This is
because our company is online the customer has the option of
directly coming in contact with the company through its online
website and the risk involved in purchasing the product of a well
reputed company in terms of duplicacy is reduced to a great extent.
The customer can order the product directly to the company's
website, and the company can directly ship the product to the house
of the customer which will eliminate all the type of risk involved
in the product. Online presence also has the advantage of
eliminating the risk of investing huge amount in infrastructure for
proper demonstration of product. The online presence of of most of
the companies has enabled the company to make an online catalog of
the product which can easily demonstrate almost all the products on
the company's website or a third party website such as Amazon or
Flipkart. This has the additional advantage of selling the product
at a lower price because ultimately if the company is not investing
huge amount in infrastructure, it can easily save amount on
maintaining the infrastructure and pass it on to the customer in
terms of reduction in price.
