Ecommerce requires careful planning.
Considerations include:
- management time availability
- warehouse space availability
- scalability of your services in busy periods
- merchant account stability
- access to website updating
- customer service maintenance
The biggest consideration should
be getting your products to your customers as soon as possible. Fulfillment
of orders is all important to your continued success in the ecommerce
world.
Ecommerce is a 24 hour world.
You need to ensure that the supports and systems you choose represent
your business are reliable and efficient. Many vendors allow demos of
their systems. Putting yourself in the position of your customers and
testing all aspects of your purchase process is essential. It can also
be very illuminating to watch another person interact with your ecommerce
website.
