Sounds like a school question. But here is the nickel tour.
1. Point of sale savings. No brick and mortar stores to upkeep.
2. Less inventory to manage and track. Can centralize warehouses.
That should give you some solid groundwork. Good luck!

Acquire and read THE LONG TAIL. You can get it from Amazon.com. In it you will discover how such on-line companies such as Netflix, Amazon and Rhaposdy are able to exist and profit from their on-line sales, while Blockbuster, WalMart and Borders Books in their brick and mortar stores are struggling.

Easily. by offering the option of paying for things online or by telephone.
Paypal is a great example, as is Amazon.
Any business not set up to allow payments in these ways lose that section of the buying population that can access it.

A company online can sell to anyone in the world at any time, compared to a store that is only open during certain hours and in one location.
