Are you somebody who's hoping to launch your own eCommerce website soon? Are you looking over the options to see which service will be the best for you? If so, that's very wise. It's best not to simply go for whichever option you see first! So maybe you're looking at a few of the options: you think that Sellr looks pretty good, but you also think that about Bigcommerce. Why should you choose Sellr over Bigcommerce? Well that is the question I hope to answer in this blog post! Hopefully then you will see why it is that people switch from Bigcommerce to Sellr.

Bigcommerce is a business which offers you all the tools you need to create your own eCommerce website. You're given a website building tool, which you can use to put together a site which will really reflect your business. Once it's made they allow you to sell on various other websites (like Facebook and eBay) at the same time as selling on your own, while also providing you with ways to manage social media marketing and email marketing. Of course, there are other things too, but I shan't make a tedious list of all of the things Bigcommerce can do. The reason I have listed Bigcommerce's services is because I want to draw attention to the fact that Sellr does all of that too. So does that mean that they're completely equal in every way and Sellr has no advantages over Bigcommerce? Well, I'd hardly be writing this post if it did!

The area in which Sellr really trumps Bigcommerce is when it comes to pricing. You can use Bigcommerce without paying for a fifteen day trial, or you can pay $29.95 (£19.18) a month for the minimal package, $79.95 (£51.19) a month for the more extensive package or you can have the service tailored for you and pay a variable fee accordingly (likely more than both of the other two). With Sellr, meanwhile, we let you use the service for free forever. Free trials are all well and good, but if you want to start a business you aren't going to be able to see how well things are shaping up in only half a month! We let you use 'Sellr FREE' for as long as you like without there being any obligation for you to move up to one of the paid services. In terms of packages, we have 'Sellr Go' for £9.99 a month, 'Sellr Pro' for £19.99 a month and 'Sellr Business' for £49.99 a month and it's clear how much cheaper they are than Bigcommerce. It's also good to have that variety of options.

Beyond being much more affordable, Sellr also gives you the tools you need for content marketing, which is something that's just as important as social media marketing! We give you a handy blog creation system which can be used to create lots of interesting content on your website to help people find your business! So if you've been convinced by all these points, why not sign up for Sellr right away? You’ve got nothing to lose!
