Google Trends for Business Plans

By Adam  |  26 Jun 2015 15:00:00  |  Full article...

If you'd like to set up an eCommerce website to get a business going, a good thing to do is to mind-map all of the products which you believe you could happily sell. Think about what is practical for you, what you can obtain for a cheap price, what you know about, what fits well with your skill set. Every idea you get should be written down. Try to think of at least ten ideas.   Once you've got all your ideas mind-mapped, you should head over to Google Trends, which

Keeping a Blog on Your eCommerce Site

By Adam  |  25 Jun 2015 08:00:00  |  Full article...

If you've got a website, one thing you want to do is keep people coming back to it as often as possible. This can be tricky when you've got an eCommerce website because people mainly only visit websites like that if they're planning on making a purchase (which won't be every day). The reason it's good to get people returning to your site is that that means they won't forget you and also, the more often they visit your website the more likely they are to favour

If you've got your 'Sellr Pro' or 'Sellr Business' eCommerce website up and running, you're probably going to start thinking in more detail about your long term plans. One thing you might want to do, in order to keep your customers up to date, is send out a newsletter at the end of every month. Writing up a whole newsletter every month might seem daunting, but actually, it may well be a lot easier than you'd think. In this post I'm going to talk about some of the

Visually Appealing Websites

When you're putting together your eCommerce website, there are several important things to consider. Of course, you need a unique selling point, a quality product, good deals and so on, but something which is quite often overlooked is the need for things to be aesthetically pleasing. I don't want to suggest that you should go for style over substance, but getting people to find your website is only one half of the battle; once a potential customer has found you there's no guarantee

PayPal Payments on Your eCommerce Site

By Adam  |  23 Jun 2015 12:00:00  |  Full article...

If PayPal is your preferred means of handling money over the internet, it's only natural that you would also use it as the main mode of payment on your eCommerce website. One misconception is that you need to have PayPal to pay PayPal (if you know what I mean) and, if you're not careful you may actually have it set so that PayPal can only receive PayPal payments. Here's a quick guide to change that.   When you log in to PayPal, go to your 'Profile' and then go to

When running a business, it can be quite useful to have a customer's telephone number, that way if you need to urgently contact them about something to do with their order, you can do so. Having a customer's phone number may also come in handy for telemarketing purposes at some point, depending on whether or not telemarketing is a part of your marketing strategy.

You Don't Need to Use a Slogan Generator

Coming up with a slogan can be hard. What short phrase can you use to summarise your business without it sounding really forced? It's a tricky one and, even though it's a small thing, you might spend quite some time trying to think of something. Of course, you don't have to have a slogan, but it's certainly a good idea; if you can come up with a phrase which will stick in the customers' heads, you've found a way to keep your business in their

Naming Your eCommerce Business

By Adam  |  22 Jun 2015 11:00:00  |  Full article...

What's the first thing people will notice about your business? What's the thing that's going to give them a first impression? The high quality goods or the low prices? No. The fact is, that no matter how odd it may seem, the first thing people are likely to notice about your business is its name. Either your business will pop up from a Google search and people will see the name written there, or somebody will tell someone else about your business. Whatever happens, they hear the

Listing Items on Your Sellr Site and eBay Simultaneously

By Adam  |  22 Jun 2015 10:00:00  |  Full article...

Today, if somebody is thinking of buying something online, they'll almost certainly check eBay first. The fact is, that when people think online shopping, they think eBay. Does that mean we should all give up and go home? Of course not! There is very much still a place for the independent businesses in the current world of the internet and Sellr can help you to use eBay to get more customers on your own site.   If you've got an eBay account, you should have a link back to

Using the Google Translate Widget

By Adam  |  22 Jun 2015 07:00:00  |  Full article...

If you're reading this, I'd wager there's at least a small chance that you're thinking of starting up your own website, or more specifically, an eCommerce website. You may even already have one. As we move forward into the technological age, the internet is becoming more and more predominant and as English is, generally speaking, the language of the internet, learning other languages may seem to be less and less important. But, consider, if your website were to have its text
