How To Build A Website To Sell Products

So you are thinking about building a website that sells products.

You need a e-commerce website

It is either multi store or single store website there is need for a platform to relate with the customer.

Have you ever thought of starting a personal business, but when you consider the huge cost of renting an office/shop, furnishing, stocking inventory and marketing, instantly the idea died prematurely, because you could not just figure out how you would get the needed start -up capital.

Okay, let us say you have decided to start a personal business against all odds, but your challenge has been, “how do you get the right product to sell?, And how do you sell them fast?”

But never mind, let me introduce you to a 21st century business opportunity- E-Commerce retailing. Gone are the days when you have to rent a shop to sell your products, and expect passer-by to hop in to patronize you. With the advent of e-commerce retail store. Your “virtual shop” is open 24/7 to the world. People visit your shop and place order while you sleep.

Mega e-commerce stores in Nigeria, like jumia, konga and dealdey are raking in billions of naira annually in sales turnover while the traditional retail outlets are struggling to stay alive. That goes to show you that customer shopping lifestyle is changing rapidly with technology. Now people want to seat in the comfort of their homes and offices and with just a click on their computers, they place order for any product of their choice and have it delivered to their door step. Amazing!

The bitter truth is that, in the next 5 years if your business is not online, you would be out of business. A lot of businesses are migrating offline to the virtual space. That is the trend. It is either you cue in or change will overtake you.
