E-Business Basic Guidelines
If you're interested in starting your own clothing E-business, take these few guidelines to assure success and creating your business. It can be a challenging task to get something up and running, but the reward will pay you 10-fold if you do it right.
You probably already have an idea of what product you want to sell. The first thing you need to decide, then, is what name you will give your business. It needs to be creative and catchy and one that describes the totality of your business. One obvious one could be Clothing-R-Us. You may consider something similar to Wear Your Style.
Once you have chosen a name, check with your local government and the Better Business Bureau to make sure it is not already reserved. Pay the small fee and the name is now exclusively reserved for you. It's as simple as that. Now you can decide whether to be a Limited Liability Company, become incorporated, or partnering with another person.
There are many online businesses where you can establish a domain; similar to leasing office space for a business in your local city. GoDaddy.com is a great website to rent online space from so you can advertise your products. Once at the GoDaddy.com you will be presented with the products you will need such as a domain and a .com referral
Once orders are placed, you should have a place where the customer can type in the name and email addresses of some of their friends that might be interested in your products. This makes your job so much easier as you will have a flow of qualified and interested prospects always coming to your site.
The final thing I suggest is to install a customer comment section where your satisfied customers can tell of their satisfaction. When others see this, they will gain confidence in you and the quality of service they can expect. Offline, it is more important to have qualified referrals sent your way, but online this is not of such big importance as you can handle an immense amount of prospects as your job is simply to post to your webpage. The prospect will do the work for you as they browse your page and become interested.
Starting an online business is not as difficult as it may seem. If you want success, you would follow these guidelines, right?
