Add Value To Your Customers’ Online Shopping Experience
Selling at times is quite an art. You need a combination of getting the ‘desire effect’ right. Look at how Apple did it. Their products are more expensive but whenever there’s any product launch (or even a hint of it), everyone goes a bit nuts. Then comes the sales.
But let’s get down to reality here. Not all businesses are like Apple. Normal folks who are just setting up a small online store to sell products need to offer something more to their customers.
Other than the usual buy 2 and get 1 free or free shipping thrown in, one of the best ways would be to add some value to your customers. Depending on what type of product that you are selling, your online store should not only be about your products. It should have a mixture of tips, advice and relevant information to help your customers. Or it could even be a good place for people to visit to get relevant, useful and informative tips and advice. This will help your store’s SEO if you get a lot of natural traffic coming in.

Are You Making Full Use Of Google For Your Business?
Heard the news that Google’s Chrome usage finally surpassed Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser recently. Thought that it was about time. I suppose the main reason why many users are switching to Chrome is because the browser is clean cut, fast and works with all of Google’s applications across the board. Personally, I used to enjoy using IE before I came across Mozilla Firefox. Now, I prefer Chrome as it does not have all those irritating search bars and constant update request which ends up slowing everything down.
