This solution makes for a relatively painless to set up an easy to maintain, search optimized and infinitely adjustable eCommerce shopping cart for almost any website.
Bonanzle is a perfectly functional shopping cart with checkout integration through Google Checkout and PayPal which are already integrated into Bonanzle, as is a shipping calculator. Yet this shopping cart has other advantages other low cost solutions do not have.
These are the first sellers to accept our offer to help establish an independent website for anyone who sells on Bonanzle at a special price. We know this type of website/blog will drive traffic to products offered on Bonanzle. It is very gratifying to know Bonanzle sellers see the value in this type of web development, for their businesses and for Bonanzle!
Richard advised us last week that the eBay Store has been his best marketing decision in years. He is getting calls and inquiry’s about his Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning Machines, not just from around the State of Florida or even the United States, but from around the World!
We inspired Anne and Bob to try using Wordpress. Not just because it would be easier for them to learn, but also due to the incredible flexibility of the platform when used as a CMS for small business websites. When I told them they could update the site themselves, at first they were a little intimidated. But after I explained that iBusinessLogic would train them in how to use the site and in reality posting new content is almost as easy as sending an email, they were in!
Every website or blog listed has been built in-house with various components using either Joomla! or Wordpress as a Content Management system. There are advantages and disadvantages to each CMS choice, we will discuss with you what your goals and needs are to determine the best CMS for your business website.
We started a new website for my brother Steve Pooler just the other day. Steve is a marine air conditioning specialist on the West Coast of Central Florida. Since we develop small business websites with Wordpress acting as a CMS (content management solution) at iBusinessLogic.com , of course we installed WordPress for my brother.
Steve may know more about very expensive yachts and complicated air conditioning controls and refrigeration than anyone else in Florida, but he needed a little help with getting started on his first website.
While it may be easy to get started, and Blogger has many fine features, this is not the wisest course of action for any business oriented or serious blog. The reasons are many including:
But What to Sell?
Many merchants, either online or brick and mortar, already have established sources of supply for merchandise. Existing supply is a good reason for small businesses to investigate an online sales initiative.
But many people are looking for new business opportunities in an ever tightening economy, these emerging entrepreneurs may have no established source of supply for products to offer online. As a result, one of the most common questions we hear is…
“What do I sell, and where do I source product?”
Starting out with an online business vs moving to an online business model from an existing business can be more difficult than first imagined. Using basic business tenets of accounting and costing procedures is critical to long term success in any business no mater where the end customer is found. The cost of doing business is part of doing business. Having a business plan and a course of action is critical whether starting on eBay or in your local mall.
