Providing Optimum Value in your Ecommerce Business!
Business is a value for value exchange. Therefore, the question is; can you do things exceptionally well and give your customers great value and the WOW factor? Many ecommerce websites and businesses are mediocre at best, in all areas from design to customer service. What is your competitive edge? Where will you excel and go that bit further than your competitors?
Price Is Not Everything.
Do you have a Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and offer something your competitors do not? If it’s a lower price, remember that being cheaper does not always mean you will get the sale. Every potential customer is different and people have different buying personalities that can fluctuate. Many people do not want cheap and cheerful products, so a lower price is only good for some people and some products but not for others.
Perception and perceived value also comes into this equation. Find your target customer and sell to them at the recommended price. Ask your supplier for their thoughts on price. By testing various prices—on the live website—will show you within a week, what your best sell price is, by the number of sales made.
