Asia Ecommerce Network is a web-based business which was formed in the winter of 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area by a web developer and a host of programmers and a writer. Inspiration for this site came in early spring with the idea of developing an Ecommerce community site. Not only was there an increasing desire to get people involved in the Internet economy, the Internet provided an opportunity to foster self-reliance. The Internet also provided a trading network within a defined community of individual shoppers, and those wanting to sell their goods over the Internet. This allowed for a sound economic base and an overwhelming opportunity to form "Asia Ecommerce Network" Asia Ecommerce Network was therefore developed to provide an opportunity to form a community of individuals, commerce and business-to-business networking opportunities. By including "mom and pop" size businesses along with entrepreneurs and manufacturers, Asia Ecommerce Network gives everyone an opportunity to use Ecommerce in a networking environment in this ever changing economy. At the same time, being able to avoid the high costs of setting up an individual online shopping cart system, individuals and businesses can be included in this "new industrial order" of Ecommerce which is swiftly changing the way people shop today. Not to be left behind in the World of Cyberspace, Asia Ecommerce Network provides people with an opportunity to trade beyond their "brick/storefront" and it opens up the world of selling/purchasing merchandise and services to all who participate.
