Companies love e-commerce for many reasons beyond the hype and craze that is currently taking place.
They do not have to have many of the physical parts of a traditional retailer to sell a product.

A company can rely on a web page to represent it correctly, without having to worry about an employee making mistakes or misleading customers. Finally, one of the biggest reasons companies love e-commerce is the information gathering that they can do, without any extra expenditures.
