Today's Economic conditions:
In the world's systemic economic crisis being experienced today in throughout the globe there is a vital need for businesses to implement a reduction scheme of their capital expenditure overheads, and to aggressively maximize their profits so that they are able to, in turn, counteract the overall reduction in overall business due to an overall reduction in economic activity.
A crucial ideology to try and implement into one's current business philosophy is to be as competitive with regards to pricing that he or she charges for services, the quality of services being offered, retaining customers in a long-term basis, and of course one of the most important which is how to operate with the least amount of costs possible.
Survival of the fittest business is the law of the global market today, and those who have the appropriate business regimens into place are the ones who will survive in the long run. A realistic projection for a large majority of medium to small stores in the US today is that you may find yourself out of business if you choose not to adopt and adapt into the new virtual business model that your competitors are adopting.
Virtual Business / E-Commerce
Running a virtual business is definitely the highest form of maximizing one's business potential to the fullest by extending one's business to a maximized international clientele outreach, and eliminating the need for a costly physical store which is solely confined to a limited local market outreach. The future of commerce is in e-business, and virtual storefronts which embraces the convenience of shop-at-home ideology, and at the same time allows businesses to provide lower more competitive prices to their clientele.
With the power of a Content Management system/shopping cart, and a good online marketing strategy, businesses can learn to run their virtual businesses like clockwork. Whether you are a business owner that has an existing physical store business and would like to migrate it online, or one who has an idea for starting up a brand new online business, there are successful solutions for you both.

b) Physical store has a limited local sales outreach, and virtual storefront has an unlimited international sales outreach.
c) The Physical store requires multi sales personnel to be physically at the store, while the virtual store requires much less physical capacity requirements, if any at all dependent on the nature of the business.
