Selling Online

Since the popularisation of broadband online sales have gone from strength to strength. And unlike in the early days when it was mostly DVD’s and books which we tended to buy, now you can sell, or buy, almost anything.

Getting your business online might seem like a daunting task. You may not have any skills in website design, or a relationship with a payment processing company. You may not even know if you’ll be successful at first.

Before considering getting your organisation online, here’s a few things to think about first:

Who am I selling to – Is the target market for what you’re selling one that buys things on the internet? As a for instance, if you sell oil drilling machinery, it might be a good idea to limit your ambitions to just generating some interest!

What competition do I have – As more shoppers join the revolution each day, think of your business on a “virtual high street”. How are you going to attract attention to yourself? What do other organisations who sell the same things look like online? Are you going to look the same, or different?

Does my customer service have what it takes? Online shopfronts have the great advantage of being awake whilst your business isn’t – but this means that people from around the world can see you. Are you geared up to respond to people who may be six hours in front of you? Do you want to deliver items half way around the world?
