Many of us
have this question in our mind, “Should I sell my products online?” And also
there are few other questions arise with this. Today we will see what the
benefits of selling your products online are!
1. Easy process
Most of the websites and marketplaces including Kutchkart have very easy processes if you
want to sell online. If you knew few basic things on computer or mobile you are
ready to sell online! Most of the good websites have their dedicated team to
help new vendors to come online and assist them 24x7. You can call them, email
them or chat with them while uploading your products to their platform.
Nowadays there are service providers available who manage all the product
upload part and charge you for that
2. Free
Yes you heard it right! Most of the sites allow you to upload your
products for free! They don’t charge you a single rupee for listing your
products. This is really big push for all who are trying online selling for the
very first time! Websites charge you commission only on the basis of your
products sold! So you don’t have to worry about extra costs while selling
online.
3. Huge reach
When you have a shop in particular city, you cater to a people of
particular city and tourists coming to that city. However when you are selling
online there are no boundaries to your business! People sitting in any country
can view and shop your products online. Just imagine the exposure you will get
when you come online.
4. Place of business is not important
When you are doing business offline and having a
shop then your business will depend very much on where your shop is! If your
shop is in prime area people will visit your shop else you will go unnoticed.
We can see how people are spending huge money to go in prime area and then also
because of heavy costs they earn less. When you go online it doesn’t matter in
which corner of the city you are located! If your product has market and
people like it then they will buy it! Also you don’t have to spend on furniture
and interiors to keep your place trendy. You can operate from go down or
warehouse also. This will bring your costs very much down and you can compete
with anyone out there!
5. No Holidays, no dependency on staff
When you are selling online, your shop is open 24x7! There are no
holidays and no time limits! People can come online and shop for the products
anytime of the day or night! Also you don’t have to depend on staff or salesmen
to sell the products! Once you have uploaded the products with all the pics and
perfect description, you don’t need to provide any other assistance to help
customers. They can decide on their own.
6. Economical marketing techniques
Online marketing is much cheaper than traditional advertising mediums
like newspaper ads, pamphlets, banners etc. You can start with as small as 100
Rs and market your products on social media. After marketing you can trace back
the effect of your money spent e.g. how many people saw your ad, gender, age
groups, cities etc you can analyze and take further decisions based on these
results! You can always hire digital marketing people to help you if you don’t
know about this.
7. Your money is safe and so is your
product
All the well known marketplaces like Amazon, flipkart, Kutchkart etc have good track
record for transferring your money into your account on time. Also you don’t
have to worry about your products if you have chosen option where you are
storing your products in their warehouses for faster deliveries. You get
statements after every sale where they will show what you’re earning and their
commission on your sale!
After all of the above mentioned points it is not about offline or online
but it has to be combination of offline and online together to achieve success
in any business. No matter how well you are doing in offline business, now is
the time to go online. Start with one marketplace or website at a time and list
your product/services to sell online. It will open a new vision and scope of
your business.
