I always say I would do ecommerce, that’s how I’d grow my business. September 21st, 2011.
I was watching Dragons’ Den on Monday night, and as ever I was enjoying the Dragons interrogating the ‘budding’ entrepreneurs.
However, it was a particular quote by Theo Paphitis that grabbed my attention.
“When people ask me if you had limited cash and had to start a business what would you do? I always say I would do ecommerce – that’s how I’d grow my business.”
- Theo Paphitis
Surprisingly the multimillionaire is right. Go figure.
Without a doubt, ecommerce is the most cost effective way to start and grow a business. Your overheads are low, you’re not restricted to the footfall of a geographical area and you’re always collecting your customer details which you can use for upselling at a later date (as we all know, it’s cheaper to sell to an existing customer than to acquire a new one).
Businesses exist to make money, and your online shop should be built with this at the forefront of your mind. If you harness it correctly, ecommerce can open up a stream of income that can generate revenue for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
