As a small business, making the decision to invest in an
e-commerce web
site is difficult. It is even more so if you have limited knowledge of
the technology behind an e-commerce web site. The following may help
simplify your decision.
- Is there a market?
Search the web for other companies that sell the same things you do.
Look at the features they are offering on their site, the pricing,
delivery costs, etc. Remember, price is not necessarily the deciding
factor for making an online purchase. Trust, simplicity and
convenience play important roles.
- What competitive advantages do you bring to the table?
Don't consider price, service or product quality as competitive
advantages unless you are the clear leader in the market. Look for
ways you can give your customers additional value.
- What are the marketing costs for your market?
Do your keyword research to find out what keywords are being used
and what your chances are of getting top 10 position with natural
keyword searches and the cost of pay-per-click. Remember, online
marketing is different from marketing a physical business but no
less time consuming.
- Can you afford the opportunity costs?
Starting a professional e-commerce site requires an investment in
the site and an investment in time to manage and market the site. Do
you have the resources to give your e-commerce site an opportunity
to succeed?
- Do you have access to the necessary expertise?
Operating a successful e-commerce site requires technical and online
marketing expertise in addition to your business expertise. You will
need access to that expertise to be successful.
These simple questions can help you make an informed decision about
if you are ready to get into the e-commerce arena. However, here is one
more simple piece of advice. Choose an e-commerce web site solution that
can help you market your site. Getting your e-commerce web site solution
up is just the first battle in the war. Successfully marketing the site
will make the difference between winning and loosing.
