Electronic Mall

a virtual shopping mall where the user may browse and shop online. Many Internet business opportunities offered by various promoters allow entrepreneurs the chance to purchase a storefront, which is the entrepreneur’s exclusive entry to an electronic mall. Under this plan, many individual store-front owners have an entry to the same mall. Using this business model, it is the storefront owner’s responsibility to promote the site and drive shoppers to the mall. For online shoppers, using a mall may offer the ultimate in shop-at-home convenience, however, as with any other shopping experience, evaluating a wide range of goods, services, and prices is wise.
