Do you need an Online Shop?
For many small to medium businesses and individuals looking to grow an existing business or start up a new one, the internet and development of broadband has given many an opportunity to sell their goods or service online as more an more people turn to this form of buying things they need.
For many this could probably be via the online auction services like eBay or similar and many will already be or maybe considering using this as their only means of selling online. However the growth in popularity and success of any business trading this way will eventually meet an ever growing bill for 'handling charges' for goods sold in this way.
Another disadvantage of trading in this way is the users of such services are looking for bargains and do not wish to pay the regular retail price of many goods. Its not good business to have to sell your goods at knock down prices, particularly if another trader is selling 'fake' or 'inferior' copies of your goods at silly prices!
So whats the answer for this?
Well the simplest option is for the business or individual to take the experience, good and bad from an eBay shop account and create an online presence of their own and set up a shop selling their products at their prices!
Is this an expensive option?
No, there are options that can get any business online and trading for less than they may be paying in their annual auction service costs. Given that many of these businesses and individuals are already PayPal account holders, there is not even an obstacle in setting up a merchant account to take credit card payments, they will probably already be doing this!
Given that the cost of many transactions will incur eBay and PayPal handling charges, a standalone web site will eventually prove a solid investment. After an initial set up cost, there are only annual running costs of the hosting, domain name and any requested support after set up of the web site.
These costs, if the business is good, will be considerably less than the auctions/eBay shop option. Plus the goods will be on sale for the best price the business wants to sell them for. No more advertising and paying even if they goods don't sell!
Yes you will be paying for the service, but the cost per annum will remain fixed even if the sales increase tenfold! Imagine the cost of the other option.
Hooklinks are able to set up a variety of ecommerce options that can vary in facilities and price to suit the needs of your individual business.
