Tips for Building an eCommerce Business Blog

June 5, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Bonanzle, Drop Shipping, Home Business, Home Worker, Wholesale, eBay

Leave a Comment

According to internet marketing analysts, having a blog for your ecommerce business is a great addition to your social media marketing efforts.

If you don’t yet have a business blog, but are eager to get started, here are some tips that may prove useful for establishing a blog that will help build your brand and grow your online dropshipping business or other ecommerce website:

  • Check out the fantastic FREE blog platforms available to you on the World Wide Web. The following three blog platforms have much to offer a blogger. Plus they’re all extremely user friendly. You can set up your blog and start posting in a matter of minutes!

Blogger.com
WordPress.com
Tumblr.com

  • Choose a name (web address) for your blog that incorporates the name of your online web store or product. For example, if the name of your ecommerce business is Better Ink Pens, then make the URL for your blog something like BetterInkPensBlog. You get the idea.
  • Make sure to use images in your blog. Internet research has shown that viewers respond more favorably to blog posts with images, and that images do more to keep a reader engaged than a post without images.
  • Choose pleasing colors, but nothing too busy or distracting. Human beings can most easily read a dark text on a light background, so bear that in mind. Don’t choose a font that is too fancy or off the wall because these tend to make your content hard to read.
  • Don’t make your blog posts too lengthy! The average internet viewer only scans content instead of actually reading it. If you drone on too long, you will probably lose the attention of your readers and that will be that. If you have an exceptionally long piece to write, break it up into segments.
  • To be successful in business blogging, you must provide fresh content on a regular and frequent basis. The search engines love fresh content, so make sure you have it for them! Getting noticed by the search engines is a must if you want to build your home dropship business or other ecommerce enterprise!

So, if you don’t have a blog for your business—get started without delay! It will be well worth the effort!

Repeat Customers: Are You a One Trick Pony?

March 14, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Bonanzle, Drop Shipping, Home Business, Home Worker, Wholesale, eBay

Comments Off

Are you getting the number of repeat visitors or customers that you should be, or are you a one trick pony—like a band that has one big hit and then fades into oblivion, never to be heard from again?

While it is vitally important to continually drive fresh traffic to your ecommerce website, it is equally important to do everything you possibly can to get those people to come back!

The first thing you must do is determine what will bring your visitors and customers back to your website.

Don’t automatically assume that low price is the most important thing to customers. While price is important, it usually isn’t the be-all and end-all when it comes to making people want to come back and buy from you again.

Internet research has shown that online consumers will actually pay more for an identical product offered on a competitor’s website at a cheaper price, if they like the website with the higher price better than the website with the lower price.

Always remember one of the prime rules of sales: People buy from those they like.

This is just as true online in the virtual world as offline in a traditional setting.

So, in order to get shoppers to come back again, you must make sure that they like your website and the entire process of doing business and buying from you!

How can you do that?

You can have a fast loading, well laid out and organized, user friendly online store that eliminates the need for the customer to think because you are doing it for him or her.

You can have well written product descriptions that provide all of the information a shopper needs to make a buying decision.

You can have plenty of good photos of your items, too.

You can have a quick, efficient and painless checkout that doesn’t make the customer jump through hoops if fire to try and pay for the items in their shopping cart.

You can have trust and security symbols prominently displayed, and your business contact info, as well.

You can have a blog and/or a User Forum where a customer or potential customer can go and ask a question or just read what other customers have to say, get ideas about how best to use your products, and so on.

You can have an “About” page that humanizes you and your online business.

There are other things you can do, too; but if you just stick to the things mentioned here—you won’t be a one trick pony who never gets a repeat customer!

Checklist: Is Your eCommerce Store Ready for Black Friday & Cyber Monday?

November 21, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Bonanzle, Drop Shipping, Home Business, Home Worker, Wholesale, eBay

Leave a Comment

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the busiest online shopping days of the year!
Black Friday is the first day after Thanksgiving, and it is traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the entire year, for ecommerce as well as brick and mortar stores.
Cyber Monday is the next Monday after Thanksgiving, and this is another BIG day for online stores! The whole idea behind Cyber Monday is that people are back at work after the long holiday weekend, and ready to shop online.
If your online store isn’t up to snuff, you may lose a lot of revenue on Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
Here is a checklist of things you should do to make sure that your ecommerce store is ready for the shopping surge on Black Friday and Cyber Monday:
  • Make sure there are no broken links, slow loading pages or dreaded 404 page errors. Your website needs to be up to speed in every way and the keyword is SPEED. Internet shoppers are notoriously impatient. If your site is too slow for any reason, they will leave.
  • Be sure to submit your products and/or updated sale prices to the comparison shopping sites such as Shopzilla and Pricegrabber. You might be surprised how many consumers check with these sites before buying, shopping around and comparing prices. So, you do need to be there!
  • Check to make sure that your SEO is up to par. Make sure that your images, titles, categories and everything else is fully Search Engine Optimized!
  • Do make a point of decorating and tweaking your online store to reflect the holiday mood. There are lots of free images and graphics available on the internet for you to spruce up your website.
  • Make sure that all of your landing pages are optimized and that you have landing pages in place for your holiday ads.
  • You should be offering electronic gift cards! A lot of shoppers habitually purchase e-gift cards to send the people on their gift list because it is quick and easy. So, if you don’t have something set up for this—do it!
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the biggest online shopping days of the year!
Don’t get caught unprepared and miss out on all those sales for your online store!

eCommerce: The 7 Deadly Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make

November 14, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Bonanzle, Drop Shipping, Home Business, Home Worker, Wholesale, eBay

Leave a Comment

No doubt about it, ecommerce is here to stay. It’s big and it isn’t going to do anything but continue to grow and get even bigger.
You, as an ecommerce entrepreneur, can grow and flourish as well IF you don’t blunder and make some common mistakes.
Here are the 7 mistakes most often made by entrepreneurs:
1. Poorly Designed Website: At any given moment, your competition is only a click away. If you have a poorly designed website that is slow, hard to navigate, not user friendly, clunky and full of typos and page errors, etc. etc.—then your visitors will hit the back button and forsake you for greener pastures. Believe it.
2. Poor Marketing Campaigns: You absolutely must have a marketing and advertising plan! If you don’t know where you want to go, how on earth will you ever get there? Too many hopeful ecommerce entrepreneurs pour everything into website design and then skimp on marketing. This will sink your online business. You’ll go down like the Titanic, with no band playing to herald your demise.

3. Lousy Customer Service: The importance of good customer service simply cannot be overemphasized. But somehow, many ecommerce business people fail to grasp what a vital part of building a successful enterprise customer service really is.
4. Inadequate Security and Trust Symbols: Despite the growing popularity of the internet, there are still many consumers who are leery of buying online due to security and trust issues. To overcome this reluctance, you have to prominently reassure visitors with trust and security symbols!
5. Poor Product Descriptions: A recent study conducted on internet shopping showed that a lot of consumers would appreciate merchants having better product descriptions. If you are unable to write them yourself, hire a freelancer if necessary. But make your product descriptions shine for better business and more sales!
6. Selling the Wrong Products: In order to be successful with an online store, you must be selling a product that other people want and will buy. This may seem like a no-brainer, but in fact there have been many ecommerce businesses that folded because someone failed to do their homework before start-up to make sure that there was a market for raw cactus hair gel or edible napkin rings made from calamari.
7. Poor checkout: This is a biggie, and perhaps one of the greatest mistakes made in ecommerce. Checkout should be quick and easy! If you throw up obstacles to a customer checking out, they won’t complete the purchase. It’s just that simple and just that deadly.
Avoid these 7 deadly mistakes, as well as other equally serious ecommerce bloopers, and watch your business reach the top!
