  1. Turn Your Old Retail Business Into The Fastest Growing Online Store There is a limitation that brick-and-mortar retail stores pose, which is, that they are inaccessible after a certain time limit. Not that there aren’t other limitations but this is probably the biggest one, among other big ones. For this reason, more and more retail businesses are getting their stores in the digital world. The first and probably the most challenging step to building a successful online store is to know what products to sell. Online competition has become fiercer than ever. Here are some handy tips to help you turn your old retail business into the fastest growing online store: The first thing you will need to do is name your online store, register your domain on the web and create a logo. After this, you could plan a layout for your website and get it developed and hosted on the web by a professionally experienced e-commerce website development agency in India.  Next, identify your target audience and find out about their interests, likes, dislikes, age group, trends they follow, etc. Figure out where your customers are and in what digital platforms do they spend most of their time. This will help you to target them better.  A robust mobile e-commerce platform is crucial for mobile visitors these days. Have a mobile-friendly version of your site so that visitors that browse your site via their smartphones do not get disappointed. If possible, consider launching a dedicated app for your online store since an app has all the functionalities and features in a compact and handy manner. It is much easier to navigate an app rather than a mobile-friendly version of a website.  Personalized websites have their own set of benefits and excitement elements. They give more relevant and customized experiences to users, which in turn, gives a happy and satisfied experience to them.  Implement a subscription model into your sales and marketing strategies.

Tracking user behavior is important to ensure that a good experience is served to them and things are improved on a continuous basis. Determine your shipping strategy i.e whether you want to drop ship products or hire a third party to do that for you. This will obviously depend upon your budget constraints and other business requirements. If you do not want to experience the headache of shipping your products all by yourself, then consider hiring a third party to do the same for you but you will have to expect incurring a cost for the same. Well, obviously, something comes at the cost of something. Right?  Use social media integrations into your website. Find out what social media platforms your target audience lies and accordingly, be active on all such platforms and keep updating those accounts regularly with relevant content, product advertisements & reviews, marketing campaigns, etc.  List down the complete inventory i.e all product items on your site in an organized manner under proper separate categories to ensure an easy and intuitive navigation. Categorization of inventory is an extremely essential part of any online store.  The checkout process in an online store should be as simple as short as possible. Because you wouldn’t want to upset any of your user at this point of time when they are finally going to place their order, do you? Also, offer a guest checkout option so that the users aren’t forced to sign up when they want to make a quick purchase.  Make sure to implement multiple payment options (like cod, net banking, debit card, credit card, visa card, wallets, etc) into your site to enable users to make payments by their preferred modes of payments.  To give a superior experience to your users, make sure your site is quick to load and has an easy an intuitive navigation. Visitors should be able to move from one page to another with much ease.  Content Source : http://e2logy.com/blog/turn-your-old-retail-business-into-the-fastest-growing-online-store/ E2logy Software Solutions Pvt.
