E-commerce Business Solution

E-commerce is more than a shopping cart! It's an e-commerce business solution.

If you are one of the thousands of small and medium businesses considering the move to an e-commerce business solution there are a few things you need to consider before you make your decision. As many businesses can tell you from first hand experience, operating on online e-commerce site requires more than a way to take customer payments. Just about any shopping cart software can take online payments of one sort or another. But if you want to operate a successful online business you will need a lot more. 

Web surfers do make purchases online and they do use shopping carts to do it. But there are other, far more important, aspects to running a successful e-commerce site. For instance, the single biggest deterrent to online purchasing is trust. Lets assume one site with a basic shopping cart with online payments going through a secondary payment site like PayPal and another with a full set of customer service features and a security and payment gateway customized to represent the site... Which do you think presents the best, most trustworthy image? 

There is no doubt that there is a small percentage of the online shopping population that cares for nothing other than price. They make their purchase from the cheapest vendor they can find regardless of the look of the site. The question is... Is that the type of customer you want? Do you want to build your business on customers that will go to another site to save a penny? If so, by all means build any kind of online e-commerce solution you want.

But, if you are like most businesses, you want customers that will be loyal to your business... returning time and time again to make additional purchases. You can only do this with a professional e-commerce business solution that gives those customers the shopping experience and customer service they have come to expect from a full service e-commerce site.

Web shoppers who are concerned only with price will go to great lengths to find the lowest price. This is not true for the shoppers who are looking for quality and service. They find a site they can trust and stick with it. This means that you are far more dependent on being positioned well in the search engines. These surfers will not go through 200 listings to find the best price. They are looking for a professional looking, full service site that meets their needs... not the best price.

When you start your e-commerce business website you will be spending hundreds of hours on setting up and maintaining your site. Would you rather spend that time and money on a great e-commerce business solution or on a simple shopping cart? Both will require similar amounts of time. Would you invest your money and energy starting a business in the worst location in a run-down building that looks like it may fall at any second? If your answer is yes then all you probably need is a basic shopping cart. If your answer is no... you need a professional e-commerce business solution.

And, in most cases the cost difference between an e-commerce solution customized to promote the professionalism of your business and loaded with customer and marketing features is generally less than a thousand dollars higher than a simple shopping cart system. Isn't it worth the investment to have a site that encourages repeat sales and makes it easier to promote your business?
