Ecommerce Solution Versus Ecommerce Software

Should you, as a retailer looking to become an eTailer choose to have your site designed, built and supported by a team of eCommerce Specialists or should you buy an off-the-shelf package and do it yourself? Certainly an off-the-shelf package will be cheaper, but will it give you the returns that you expect of the almost limitless pool of potential customers the internet can provide?

Why Should You Choose A Team Of eCommerce Specialists Over Out-Of-The-Box Software?

Given that the current trend for eTailers to target niche markets and support new product ideas is making for more specialised selling techniques, then only a solution designed just for your company is going to bring satisfactory results.

You should aim to make it inviting, easy, fun and exciting for your customers to shop with.

An Ecommerce Company should have a very strong web design department which can make your site exactly as you need it to be and have the experience to advise you on marketing and effective strategies to improve your conversion rates via the website.
