Is Big Commerce A Good Deal

Posted by Thinker on Feb 11, 2010 in Thinkable

If you’re planning to sell product online, you’ve probably already stumbled across solutions like Yahoo Stores (Yahoo Small Business), Volusion, 1ShoppingCart and others. However, BigCommerce seems to be in a league of its own.

At our Interspire BigCommerce review site we list our honest review of BigCommerce, other shopping carts, and how to sell your products online.

Here are three simple reasons whay you may want to consider using BigCommerce:

1) Start your e-store with minimum hassle

Uploading product images and setting up the rest of your account is really easy. BC supports multiple payment gateways like PayPal, 2CheckOut, and Google Checkout.

There are two ways – either get your own domain name or a free subdomain provided by BC.com – for eample “mystore.bigcommerce.com”.

2) Customize and control your store design

BigCommerce comes with about 40+ ready made templates that you can use right away, no matter what you’re selling. The best thing about BigCommerce is the point and drag design interface.

You can read csome of our comarison reviews to see the difference:

1) 1ShoppingCart vs BigCommerce
2) BigCommerce vs Yahoo Stores
3) BigCommerce vs Volusion Shopping Cart

You can easily change your store layout by moving elements in real time. You see the changes instantly, and yu can also edit the actual CSS (style sheet) if you’re confident of yout HTML skills.

3) Stats and insights to your overall performance

It’s annoying to admit the fact that while we have FaceBook and Twitter, the basic shopping cart software you’ll find in most places is seriously lacking in statistical tools and cool “web 2.0″ stuff that we’ve all come to love.

You receive complete statistical analysis control with BC. You can do a lot more and see a lot more than you can with a conventional shopping cart system.

You will never be in the dark as to how well your business is doing, or how it can be improved. Sales and customer retention rate can be imprved greatly over time.

Besides the above, BigCommerce is also fully SEO-enabled, which means that your entire store will be search engine friendly. All you need to do is focus on adding products and making sales, while you enjoy a free flow of traffic from Google.

With the correct auto responder software, the sky is the limit as far as your online sales is concerned.

3 Secrets For Launching Your Product Online

Posted by Thinker on Feb 11, 2010 in Thinkable

If you have a product or service and have considered launching your product or service online, please read on…

Even if you don’t have a product, you can still do a product launch online with a new or existing service. Online marketing technologies are very efficient at building buzz around your product.

You have two options for your product launch:

1) Internal Launch – You can use your existing customer list and build a product launch into your existing product launch to drive sales and more leads from existing customers. If you aren’t doing this, you are leaving money on the table. Guaranteed!

2) Online or External Launch – If you have a product or service that you can deliver outside of your local area this is a great way to build a pipeline of leads and sales for your business. By leveraging online video, social media, blogging, and other people’s lists you can create a real nice bump to your revenue in a very short time span…

If you haven’t considered a product launch, you should. Business all over are leverage the new tools online to drive more revenue faster with less effort.

You can do a product launch on your own, or hire a product launch manager and marketing consultant to help you use a proven method to drive revenue into your business.

Most times, the launch manager requires and up front retainer with a percentage of your revenue from the launch. Just keep in mind this is money or revenue you may not be realizing now, so paying a fee to drive more leads is negligible in the big picture. Especially if you have a new product your are bringing to market.

Best of luck with your product launch!
