What can I sell on the internet?
A vast majority of items can be sold through the internet, so the question is not really what can be sold, but how will you sell it?
As with any business, you must have a firm idea of how you intend to sell, manage and distribute to your customers. The philosophy of "If I build it they will shop" will lead to disaster unless you are very lucky.
Is taking payments online simple?
The short answer is yes. The real question is how. There are a number of ways to accept payment over the internet, most with their own costs and implications.
The out-dated method of taking the payment information and processing it through a card terminal is being phased out completely. Online customers need reassurance and security, and websites which do not offer this will be out performed by those that do.
Can my online shop compete with existing websites?
There will always be competition - and the best strategies for dealing with this are usually the things you would least expect.
Forget about being the cheapest on the web; service levels, site security, ease-of-use, web marketing and usability are far more important.
Differentiation will win you more customers than struggling to beat prices.
Some online customers will always seek out the BBD (bigger better deal), but if your website meets their requirements quickly, and you provide excellent service, you will get plenty of customers.
According to report on ZDNET, Christmas 2006 has been a massive boom time for UK online retail.
"The e-retail body initially anticipated that UK online spending in December would total £3.2bn, but IMRG now expects that it could be as high as £3.7bn. This would be a 45 percent increase on December 2005."
This is a clear indication that more and more people are switching to online retail to avoid the pandemonium of traditional shopping.
An e-commerce website can provide you with great financial returns if it is implemented correctly.

Customer service is a critical consideration for an e-commerce website. According to by Greg Gianforte, RightNow™ Technologies:
"...without effective customer service, companies must rely on their over-burdened, high-cost call centers to answer even the most routine and repetitive customer inquiries. Companies with poor service also lose customers, since web users get frustrated quickly and head elsewhere."
Too many e-commerce websites are failing because the focus of their site is the products they are selling, instead of the customers that are buying. Ask yourself, does my website facilitate visitor to customer conversion?
029 offer e-commerce consultation, providing in-depth information and strategy to ensure your e-commerce website is fully effective.
