Our eCommerce Methodology Is not as complicated as it looks.

Our Methodology is comprised of numerous factors, and here is a high overview of our ecommerce business methodology: Our eCommerce business plan methodology is designed with one critical factor, DIY (Do It Yourslef). We know that most small business owners may not have as much knowledge about ecommerce, but with our plan, we get you started on the right path to self dependency in the world of ecommerce.
This approach, self dependency, allows our clients to plan for sustained growth and use our services on an as needed basis. The DIY approach to ecommerce allows our customers to keep the costs of running an online store to a minimum.

While ecommerce has many, many parts to it, it takes years of experience, knowledge and now how to make it all work together, and that’s where we come in. With our ecommerce methodology, built from years of experience, you are on the right path from day 1 and we work closely with you to teach you about the successes, challenges and preventative programs to combat click fraud, credit card fraud and friendly fraud.

Following is a detailed view of our ecommerce methodology, we take all of the functionalities of ecommerce, add our ecommerce methodology and come up with an ecommerce business plan that will set you up for success.

YOUR eCOMMERCE POTENTIAL......IS UNLIMITED.

You have two assets that most ecommerce businesses envy. You have a “brick and mortar” presence and more importantly you have a following. With your established business, your customer following and your brand representation, your transition into ecommerce will be an easy one. Unlike other ecommerce businesses, you will not have to prove yourself as an established business, your product offering is not limited to “drop ship” manufacturers, and more importantly you have an established customer base.

In ecommerce, these three factors are the most challenging to accomplish, meaning you’re halfway there.

our Web Presence Now
You have a website to promote your businesss, it showcases your “brick and mortart” stores, your mission and dedication to your industry, but what else can it do?
We can easily add an ecommerce store to your site, which will not take away from your current website, it will compliment and enhance your business, that’s our proposal.

Where your Competition Is.
Whether it’s a triathlete or a running site, your local and regional competitors are selling online and so can you.

Your 5k, 10k, Events and Partnerships
Building a brand that can be trusted, depended upon and that has a following is challenging for any business to accomplish. Your 5k, 10k, Events, Partnerships, stores and your presence give you a brand push that can propell your ecommerce store nationally, not just locally.
eCommerce is global and the pitch we’re making to you, is not for “small sales”, but for Regional and National presence.

You, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter. Your loyal customers are online and so should you, this give you quite an advantage over the competition.

The ecommerce shopping cart solution we’ve developed can track inventory, and is able to process payment online or manually right from your store(s). This assures that you will be able to maintain a good inventory for your stores and online sales. In addition, there are other processes and functions that the ecommerce shopping cart has that will add and compliment your stores.

ROI/Budget

PPC (pay per click) is not the answer to ecommerce. ™

It’s true, PPC is not the answer to ecommerce........and our ecommerce business methodology provides a sustainable approach so that you can stay within budget, expand your search engine optimization and social media marketing approach while relying on minimal ppc support.

Most small business owners are hesitant to enter the world of ecommerce simply because they assume that it is simply too expensive to have a robust ecommerce store. In addition, they hesitate to open an ecommerce store because of horror stories they hear about search engine marketing, fraud and costs associated with maintaining an ecommerce store.

For all of these hesitations, we have a solution. A robust ecommerce shopping cart software, at a reasonable price, an ecommerce fraud prevention program that anticipates not just credit card fraud, but also pay per click fraud and friendly fraud and a DIY (do it yourself) ecommerce methodology so that the small business owner can operate their own ecommerce store for maximum ROI.

eCommerce Store Budget
We take a no nonsense approach to our ecommerce approach and we have developed a detailed overview of the cost of ecommerce for our clients to consider. While this represents our “starting” budget, it may not represent all of the functionality that you as a customer may want, so the actual cost may vary. With our suggested design and functionality modules, you will not need any additional functionality to operate a successful ecommerce store. Following is our ecommerce store project implementation methodology.

PHASE I
eCommerce Cart, Hosting (1 year), Design Modules, and programming.
In Phase I, we install, the ecommerce cart solution as well as the design modules that will make your ecommerce store stand out immediately. The costs in this phase include 1 year of hosting and rememeber that the ecommerce software license is a one time fee as well as the design modules, so no other license , monthly fees or revenue sharing.

PHASE II

In this phase of your ecommerce store project , we add much needed functionality to your ecommerce store. Some of the modules include, Affiliate, Feature Comparison, Return Merchandize Authorization, Magnifier, Gift Registry, Advanced Order Management, Configurator, Special Offers and Survey. We also apply an SSL (Secured Socket Layer) Certificate to legitimize your store.

PHASE III

Phase III of your ecommerce store project kicks off the DIY (do it yourself) or self dependent phase. We provide training on your ecommerce cart software and we cover everything from customer usability to search engine optimization. In addition, we test every module, process and service.

PHASE IV

Phase IV of your ecommerce store project is optional and can be added at any time and they are listed sepertely as each requires it’s own unique approach.

Search Engine Marketing
Search Engine Optimization
Social Media Marketing
Site Maintenance
Programming

This last phase also includes optional ecommerce solutions such as: email Campaigner, “Live” Shipping quote module, Live Help, Click Fraud Prevention and 3rd Party ecommerce fraud prevention tools.

GIVE US 24 HOURS AND WE’LL GIVE YOU eCOMMERCE.
