Sell Your Products or Services Online
Here is the bane of many business website owners. Having just spent thousands of dollars on a website they still are without the tools or ability to sell their products or services online. What happened?
Why Isn't My Website Profitable?
Usually this is the case of a business owner contacting or employing a website designer for their project. Freelance website designers (and I can say this because I've been one for many years) generally know nothing - not a thing - about e-commerce, advertising or marketing. Website designers should stick to creating corporate sites where their only task is in beauty and conveying the business' message through color and images.
E-Commerce Made Easy
If you want to sell your products online you need an e-commerce solution. And, unless you have weeks or months to waste learning and trying multiple 'solutions' that exist - you need to contact me about this. There's just no gentler way to say it. I've been caught in the 'deals', 'opportunities', and loaded with all kinds of software that were promoted as 'easy e-commerce' far too many times to allow you to go elsewhere.
There is a truly easy solution that doesn't require a programmer to operate as part of one of the web portal packages I trust.
Here Is the Elegant and Easy Way to Sell Online
- You name your product in a text box.
- You click on the photo of your product.
- You set the price.
- You set 'rules' for shipping costs, taxes and quantity discounts.
- Then you click 'update catalog'.
Use your own merchant account or choose from a variety of others - we even throw in the PayPal shopping cart option if that's your preference.
I know we're making this sound simple compared to anything else you may have tried in the past - but really that's all there is to it. The scripting cost hundreds of thousands just to make your job easier. After all, you've got a business to run and orders to ship - you don't need to be messing around in software and image resolutions, coding or any of the other headaches that e-commerce usually demands of a business owner.
Selling Products Online Made Easy
Allow me to be candid with you. It is, after all, our mission to save you time and money - since there is never enough of either of these.
When you are running a business and you are using your website as a marketing vehicle the last thing you need is difficult e-commerce shopping carts and programs.
You already have enough work to do in your shop. You're already busy enough wearing all the hats demanded of you in your business. Plus, your business website will demand your time enough on it's own, since it will be increasing your sales and profits. The setup does not need to add to your workload.
Other Online Selling Techniques to Consider
Follow up with your business contacts! You want to build a list of your customer's email addresses (also part of the package I discuss above). This is another necessity in ensuring your business website is successful at marketing your products or services for sale.
Booking appointments online, at your website. If you own a hair salon, a day spa, a specialty shop, or a consultation service I'll also want to show you the easy way to allow your customers to book their appointments with you online - at any hour of the day!
