Benefits of running a webshop
There are plenty of advantages running an online shop compared to a physical one, here are 3 of the main benefits.

No physical store
This is both a benefit and a disadvantage. But by not having a physical shop, you don't have to pay rent for premises, you don't have the cost of staff to go into the shop. Of course in the beginning you will probably stand in the shop yourself, to save on employee costs, but you won't be able to stand there 24/7 and in the long run, it will be a good idea to have an employee or 2. Besides the rent and the employees, there is also some maintenance of the shop, and having goods in stock for customers to buy. You need to have enough customers buying in the store so that you can at least pay the expenses you have around a physical store. By not having a physical shop you avoid this, but depending on what you are selling you will need to have a stock from which to sell. In the beginning, you can have your warehouse at home in the garage or you can rent a warehouse hotel where you can keep your goods. This is still cheaper than having to go out and rent a shop, which should preferably be fairly well located in relation to where customers come.
On the other hand having a physical store is a great way to brand yourself, and people see your signs and stores just by driving by it. To make people aware of your online store you will ofte have to do some kind of paid advertising or expensive search engine optimization.

It's easy for your customers to buy when they want
A webshop also makes it easy for your customers to buy your goods at all hours, because they don't have to go to a physical shop to buy your products. They can buy your products from the comfort of their own home or on their way to and from work. More and more Danes are choosing to shop online because they get to avoid the hassle of crowds in the shop. They might not find the brand or size they need, or they might leave without buying anything. By buying online, they are only one click away from buying your products and, as I said, they can do it from the comfort of their own home and the fact that the product is delivered right to their door also makes many customers prefer to buy goods online because, if it is clothes, they can stand and try it on at home where they don't have to rush because there is a long queue behind them who also need to try on some clothes. They also don't have to do it during the shop's opening hours, which can be difficult for some people. Because a webshop is open 24 hours. By having a webshop, your market is also not limited to only those who come to the shop, but it can be the whole of Denmark or the whole world, if that is what you are going for.
A lot of people actually love to buy during the evning when most physical stores are closed. Many of these people just love shopping online.

You can sell anything online
In your webshop you are not limited by space as you might be in a physical shop and therefore you can sell everything without having to think about fitting it into a physical store (you will still need some stock space for your products unless you do pure dropshipping). You can sell anything from services like consultancy or bookkeeping to physical products like clothes, food or even larger products like windows or a front door.

Because of these 3 advantages, more and more people are starting online webshops here in 2022 and it's a trend that is likely to continue or even increase over the next few years. Webshops are more popular than ever and some are evening making millions every month.
