Online in Canada

[SJSobczyk]

Just wondering if anyone else shared these thoughts with me. Now i am not talking about one market specifically, i am talking about the Canadian online market as a whole.

But...Why is there so many less websites for Canadian resellers compared to american?

I mean look at the industry we are all interested in: Fish/Reef Keeping. I could search for hours and come up with very little sites compared to our brothers in the south. Which makes you think? How much business is the USA gaining from Canadian shoppers? All the prices look great, but once you factor in your duties, shipping, exchange rate, its not worth it.

The products i sell only have one online competitor in Canada. ONE! When i type in "pelican products" in google, there is about 2 pages of US sites before one canadian company comes up. Which is great for me, but how come Canadians arent jumping on the E-sale bandwagon?

So much opportunity for Canadians. Canada has such a vast market potential, yet is it being lost?

I want to know what you think? Why isnt there more online dealers in Canada?

Feel free to flame away!
