Many people think that making profitable
websites is similar to gambling a Vegas
Casino, either you are lucky and Win or
you loose. Depending on the amount you
put into your business the amount you
loose could be very substantial. But
their is more to the process than luck.
If you study the similarity and
differences that online business have
you will see a familiar ecommerce store
with a title product photo, small
description, and of course the price.
One of the major flaws in this system is
information. Even if someone is
interested in your item they will
navigate away from your site just to
find information. I suggest that in
addition the the typical eStore you also
make information very accessible. You
may wonder what type of information
could be useful? The answer is
limitless. For example if you are
selling a hat you may want to give the
dimensions, and even compare the color
to an object like a flower. You may also
want to incorporate the item with a
personal touch, one way of doing this is
connecting the product to a emotion, you
may state "this hat is almost identical
to the had Will Smith wore in September
04 when he visited the Bahamas."
(Naturally you need to have correct
information) This gives your customer a
feeling of warmth and desire to purchase
the product not just because they like
the product but because you were able to
connect them to the product on a
personal level. |
