Business Models
Drop shipping – Only operate storefront. It is up to suppliers to handle shipping and inventory
Wholesaling and warehousing – Need to handle storefront, inventory, shipping and tracking
Private label and manufacturing – Selling by sending prototype and plans to customer, and then gather capital for production. Kickstart.com is an example
White label-- Similar to private label but selling products that are already sold successfully by another company
Subscription Ecommerce – products are delivered to customer in a regular, scheduled interval
Physical goods like books, gadgets, furniture, and appliances (conventional goods)
Digital goods such as software, e-books, music, text, images, and video (content for immediate online consumption)
Services such as tickets and insurance (conventional services)
Wiki also mentions ‘“meta” services to facilitate other types of electronic commerce’, but there’s no mention at the source site, unless they mean tickets/vouchers, which seem to fall nicely into first two categories - but i’m noting it just in case.
