One of the easiest ways to start selling your products online is with Volusion.com. They provide robust hosting and an easy-to-use admin panel to create your catalog and start accepting online payments. There are several themes to choose from when you create your store but they can look a little generic and outdated. You want to stand out. I can help.

First off, you should have a custom template which will represent your brand. For “Friday Again” I created the logo and themed the template around it. If you already have a logo/ brand, I can use it to create a theme and display your products to their maximum potential.

If you’re just starting out in e-commerce, another key element is a blog…

• It provides more text for the search engines which will lead to better rankings
• It humanizes your site and increases trust in your brand and site
• “Stickiness”- Provides an easy to update area for the latest news which will keep your customers coming back
• Invites interaction. Through the comment system you can answer customer’s questions and read their thoughts in a natural way.
• There are many ways to subscribe to a blog, through RSS feeds, or a newsletter. All these increase the number of visits to your sales site.

Professionally photographed products are also a key element in getting sales. I can take care of this too with my studio, lightbox and range of backgrounds.
