In More Detail
eCommerce Stores for Startups
How the eCommerce needs of Startups differ from established eCommerce businesses.
Entrepreneurs launching a new Startup, small businesses and home-based side hustles have very different needs compared to larger companies and already established eCommerce stores.
If you are venturing into the world of online sales for the first time or you have a new product you want to bring to market there are many things to consider.
For one, you probably lack experience in online selling. Your product may be new and untried and you don’t know if people are actually going to buy it online. While you’ve probably done your homework and seen a need for your product, when starting out you don’t want to over invest.
New eCommerce businesses can take time to get going. You will have to do a tremendous amount of marketing and public relations to build up your audience and gain a steady stream of customers.
For this reason, it makes sense to start with a good quality eCommerce store tailored to startups. This type of store focuses on function first and aims to be affordable but without sacrificing quality.
SME Rocket’s Launchpad Cloud eCommerce Stores are the perfect balance of eCommerce functionality, design and quality at an affordable investment. Not to mention we take care of all the technical setups, design customizations and ongoing maintenance and security of your online store.
