So you want to sell on-line?

Great idea - Sell to people throughout your county, to the next county, to any county in Ireland. But why stop there, the internet is global and your web shop could potentially reach out to new customers throughout the world. So throw up a web shop and off you go.

Stop!! It’s not quite that simple. A web shop, like it’s counterpart in the real world, the bricks and mortar retail shop, needs a little bit of thinking and planning. Any shop, be it on-line or on the high street, requires staff, stock and a means of handling funds. You do need to allocate resources to continually updating and managing your web shop. You need appropriate products to sell on-line & you require some means of accepting debit/credit cards on-line.

In addition to payment handling, you also need to think long and hard about shipping. You need to consider the areas you wish to ship to and put in place suitable shipping arrangements for each shipping destination. You will need to factor in shipping costs either into your selling price or as an additional cost, based on region.

If you think that you simply put it up and watch the funds flow, then your web shop is doomed from the very beginning. However, if you are prepared to invest some time & effort, you can reap the rewards from a highly lucrative, growing & global marketplace.
