8 must-have e-commerce tools for boosting revenues in 2021

Increasing revenues have never been more on the minds of business leaders. These e-commerce tools can help develop an online retail presence and boost revenue to improve your company’s 2021 outlook.

After a difficult 2020 for most businesses worldwide, many companies are looking for ways to improve performance and increase revenues—and that means shifting to e-commerce or improving e-commerce capabilities. Due to a surge in online shopping activity during the COVID-19 outbreak in the US and Canada, B2C e-commerce sales in both countries are projected to see major growth, according to projections in a recent report. 

This is good and bad news. For companies just establishing an e-commerce presence, it creates a need to get up and running fast. For those already there, it means finding ways to compete and boost revenue. These eight e-commerce tools can help businesses build their online presence, design and market their products, and secure the shopping experience for customers, all while boosting their revenues.
