Serious About E-Commerce?



How serious are you about your E-Commerce venture?

When launching a store online, there are countless companies that can get you up and running. Some good ones can put stores in place that will store your products in a database. They can even setup full online management of products, customers and sales as setup your store to accept credit cards. They can even make it look snazzy.

Sounds great right? What else do you need?

Maybe you or your marketing department also have great ways to drive customers to your website, get the word out and even track your visitors!

Wow, even better!

Have you ever heard the expression "Water, water everywhere, but nary a drop to drink?

That's your situation until you get SERIOUS!

We can actualy do everything I have already mentioned for you, but we can also provide the missing piece. What is it you ask? It's making sense of your collective information.

What does this mean? Well, everyone that comes to your site leaves a trail and you might already have some sort of tracking system in place. However, the problem is this: the traffic patterns of people coming to your store, your marketing endeavours and your online sales are not talking to each other and this is where companies that don't have Fortune 500 budgets will have a hard time, but never fear, we are here for you.

We have created a solution that allows these crucial systems to be tied together with our custom E-Commerce package so that our clients can see exactly what is happening with their site. All data including analytics, sales, internet marketing and more are logged. We then take this wealth of data and run analysis and reports and then suggest to our clients key points to maximize advertising dollars and revenue.

Let's use an example to clarify. Once the system was in place we would be able to tell Fire Alarm Chili Company that 250 users came to their website between 3PM and 10PM last Friday night when their first radio ad went live. We could go on to tell them that out of those 250, 80% were first time visitors and that 5% of those people purchased approximately $2500 worth of Chili Seasoning and Chili Bowls. Do we have your attention? We hope so! If you see the value already, it gets better.

We could then go deeper and make other connections. For example, 80% of those converted revenue dollars also purchased Decorative Chili Bowls, which would therefore allow us to suggest recommending these bowls automatically whenever someones buy's Fire Alarm Chili Seasoning.

What have we done here and why is it important?
Well, we are now able to tap into your user's consumer psychology and make cross segmented predictions over monthly and yearly trends to pinpoint patterns and the result?  Increasing sales and optimizing marketing dollars.

We have quite a few satisfied customers and we encourage clients to ask for an online demo of this excellent tool.
