Introduction
For a long time e-commerce sites have only been possible for large companies willing to spend lots of money on an expensive website which requires lots of management and upkeep, even if they’re relatively small. Fortunately, now, there are many more options available, making e-commerce sites possible for small businesses and are often even worth it even if selling locally and without delivery.
Customer trends are changing
Customers are also becoming more trusting of alternative websites, as long as they’re kept properly secure. Data from Google suggests customers are losing brand loyalty and are more likely to shop away from their regular sites, especially if there’s a better deal or product available. This shift in consumer behaviour opens up opportunities for small businesses to capture market share in the increasingly competitive online space.
How many products does an online shop need?
There really is no lower limit, an e-commerce site can be a practical solution even if you’re selling just one product. Whether you’re a local artisan who has perfected their product or are a reseller of a single niche item, an e-commerce website provides an easy additional way for customers to purchase your items.
Already have a site?
It’s even possible to add ecommerce capabilities to your current site without changing anything, simply having it on a separate domain shown as a separate page on the website. It creates a seamless transition between your current website, allowing it to keep all its current brand and integrity, and its shop page where customers can browse your products and order online.
Our excellent example
One of our clients based in nearby Brighton, YouJuice Ltd, already had a successful juice shop with a lovely website that they didn’t want to make any changes to but wanted to offer their juices online for local delivery. We were able to create an ecommerce shop for them on a domain on their site, shop.youjuice.co.uk. This could be quickly and easily accessed from a link on their menu on youjuice.co.uk. Now they successfully deliver their juices, cleanses and more to Brighton and the surrounding towns and have orders made for collection through their site which saves customers time waiting in store.
