Ecommerce
Selling products and services
online is a nothing more than a transfer of an offline process
to an online process. The steps to developing an ecommerce
site are listed here.
Successful
online selling is a matter of what you sell, how you sell it,
who you sell it to, and who your competitors are. If you're
contemplating e-commerce, consider the following questions to
determine how strongly matched you are to this sales channel.
What
Do You Sell?
As a first step, determine if your product
or service fits the profile of items that "move" online. Products
sold through catalogs and other direct channels usually transfer
well to the Web. Some services, such as travel planning,
also are a good match for online sales. The following list outlines
some categories that adapt well to ecommerce.
Proven
to sell well online:
- Commodities (CDs, books)
- Products that appeal to enthusiasts (cooking supplies,
sports memorabilia)
- Low-touch services (travel services, online trading)
- Frequently purchased items (manufacturing parts,
office supplies)
- Technology products (software, computers)
- Difficult to find items (out-of-print publications,
rare stamps)
Difficult to sell online:
- Products that
are difficult to ship (furniture)
- Services that focus on a local market (hair salons)
- Highly regulated items (explosives)
- Products requiring a high level of customization (tailored
suits)
- Items that benefit from "hands-on" assistance (wedding
dresses)
