Why Spanish entrepreneurs are taking their skills into the digital community

IT is a well-known fact that Spain was hit hard by the financial crisis of 2008. While some regions such as Cataluña have seemingly bounced back, other areas including Andalucia are still struggling to a degree.
When we combine this observation with the fact that an appreciable number of international organisations have vacated Spain for more robust economies such as those associated with Germany or the United Kingdom, Spanish entrepreneurs are faced with a number of challenges.
However, many are beginning to think outside of the box while using the power and scope of the online business model to their advantage. What is the growing appeal of this option?

The outdated concept of “mañana” 

One of the reasons why some international businesses have been hesitant to deal with Spanish companies involves the concept of “mañana”. In other words, turnaround times for product development and shipping have been somewhat lacking. Whether this is more of a myth than a reality is irrelevant.
The fact is that such a viewpoint has not helped the Spanish economy during the last decade. However, we are beginning to see a dramatic paradigm shift due in no small part to the increasing role that e-commerce solutions are playing.
These observations are particularly relevant when referring to the younger generation, as they appreciate the possibilities associated with the online e-commerce sector. They are now establishing countless virtual businesses and as a result, such individuals are substantially contributing to the Spanish economy.

More than keen business sense 

There are many e-commerce providers associated with sound business models and dynamic entrepreneurial options. In the past, it could have been argued that Magento was the most popular.
However, one interesting Magento enterprise alternative can be seen in the utilities associated with Shopify. Not only is this platform able to cater to the needs of businesses of all size, but it it offers additional benefits including:

  • A kaleidoscope of front-end customisation options.
  • The ability to integrate online sales across as many as 20 channels.
  • More than 1,500 proprietary applications to choose from.
  • 24/7 customer support and dedicated account managers.

The good news is that those who currently possess Magento will find that a transition to Shopify is seamless and straightforward. Online stores are not subject to any interruptions and any implementations can be made within real-time scenarios.
We should also keep in mind the fact that Magento was primarily designed for web developers as opposed to entrepreneurs. Thus, it can often represent a rather complicated platform to those with little technical experience. Shopify effectively bridges the gap between functionality and a user-friendly nature.
Countless Spanish business owners have already made the transition into the digital domain. Offering an unrivalled sense of flexibility as well as exponential room for growth, such actions make perfect sense. If you are less than satisfied with your current e-commerce platform, it might be time to seriously consider changing to a more flexible and hands-on bundle.
