In the past two weeks, I have received hundreds of emails from people concerned about the economy. I am by no means an economy expert, but even I can see where their panic is coming from. Every day another bomb is dropped on the economy. Today's was that Yahoo news reported that Employers cut 533,000 jobs in November, 2008. The single largest cut in 34 years!
As we walk the malls and the streets this holiday we are seeing huge companies folding up and closing their doors. This is scary. However, to the online etailer and the savvy website owner, sales are still increasing. The online ecommerce report by the U.S. Census Bureau News for the 3rd Quarter 2008 was released and can be viewed at http://www.census.gov/mrts/www/data/html/08Q3.html . What this tells me is that, while ecommerce is not completely immune from the overall downturn in the economy and the lack of consumer confidence, it is still performing fairly well, especially when compared to the numbers for traditional "brick and mortar" retail sales.
Now is the time to reorganize! Seize the moment. Your site needs to be up and running with a professional look and feel and a strong shopping cart. People are shopping online and want your products, but if you cannot be seen they will shop with someone else. You know your business, and you need to let the ever increasing numbers of online shoppers know you exist.
By effectively integrating ecommerce, a smaller shop truly can compete at the same level as the retail giants. You have all the advantages at your fingertips, and you need to take advantage of the power of the flexibility you have. You can do many things to dig your heels in and maintain a healthy growing business.
Some advantages effective ecommerce delivers to you, Mr. Small to Medium Size Business:
1. Lower overhead
2. You can drop ship and reduce the inventory on hand while increasing your selection
3. Buy your items after you sell them
4. Replace expensive employees with more features on your website
5. Train your website to close your sales, make it your number one sales person.
6. Ability to make changes quickly without all the red tape
You have the power to succeed where most large companies do not. You can bend and move with the times. You just need to commit getting your business more and more embedded online!
Online is the key to success! Through successful leveraging of online marketing, your business will be seen, and your products will get sold, and in record numbers! Online success is really simple; You need a great ecommerce site, you need a compelling design, and you need to effectively market your site to be seen. The cool thing is you will only be seen when people are looking for your products and services on line. No more guessing the demographic, preparing making mailers, then guessing the area you think your customers are. Put up a solid site, market it and let the customers find you!
