E-Commerce Stores
The internet is an excellent platform for sales, and one can find countless online stores and platforms engaged in sales. The sales volumes are immense, and the products offered online are diverse. Moreover, online stores provide customers with a convenience and availability experience. From a business perspective, an E-commerce store can serve as an additional sales channel for the business, and in many cases, the only sales channel of the business. Online stores have many advantages, and even the setup costs are considered low. However, there’s a vast difference between setting up an online store and developing an E-commerce store that manages to establish its place in the market and brings sales. To succeed in the e-commerce field, one needs to develop an electronic store, brand it, and market it correctly. At Jirono Media, we say – if you’re building an online store, do it right!
E-commerce Stores - A Feature of the Internet Economy
When online stores first entered our lives, we looked at them skeptically, mainly because we were so used to the regular conduct where we went to physical stores and examined products through direct contact. However, technology and convenience eventually prevailed, and online stores became part of our shopping routine. Today, one can purchase everything online, and there’s an abundance of E-commerce stores both locally and globally offering products for every demand, from digital products to furniture. It’s a massive market, rolling billions of dollars every year, tempting many to enter the field and open an online store, hoping to get a small market share. To meet the demand for E-commerce stores, many offer online store setup services, sometimes at very low prices. But as large as the market is, so is the competition in the e-commerce sector. Setting up an electronic store, especially when based on ready-made templates, is not complicated. And when setup costs are low, many rush to try their luck and open an online store – which in most cases ends in failure. But it can also be different! An online store can also become a great success, but it’s not dependent on luck or chance, nor the nature of the products. The success of an E-commerce store depends on many factors that fall under branding and marketing – every first impression the store creates; every product image; every marketing text and product description; every headline and every detail on the site plays a role in branding and marketing the store. And when you understand this and know how to work correctly, that’s what makes the difference between success and failure. It’s not luck or chance – it’s a marketing strategy.
Developing an Online Store
At Jirono Media, we don’t deal with setting up online stores, but with developing online stores. You can set up an online store in a few minutes, but when you want to establish a successful store, one that will succeed in establishing its place in the competitive market, you need to develop an online store. When we say store development, we mean a process that is conducted from a strategic perspective and
includes characterizing the store and its products to identify the appropriate marketing language and build the right concept. If this is not done, essentially, nothing interesting will be offered to the market, just another electronic store that is no different from its predecessors, and its chances of success are low. Our media experts at Jirono do not believe in setting up an online store in an instant pudding format; we need to look at everything holistically and from a marketing perspective. From user interface characterization to the small details of store design, everything must serve the purpose – an online store that brings the right audience, makes them want to buy, and drives the surfer towards making a purchase.
