How does your solution differ from an eBay store, or a shopping cart solution?
First of all, eBay is a channel for used and severely discounted merchandise. We have tried to sell on eBay, but have found that its customers will not buy for anything more than 50% off of the merchandise's retail price.
Secondly, shopping cart software requires significant work to keep your listings and pricing up to date. We can do this for you!
You also need to keep in mind that a shopping cart is just a tool that enables you to sell online. Shopping cart software will only provide you with generic website templates (which are insufficient for serious online vendors). Our website designers will customize your website design according to your feedback!
Shopping cart software will also not generate any traffic to your website. Putting up an online store is analogous to setting up a lemonade stand in the middle of a desert. Unless you have signs (I.e. advertising) to direct travellers to your lemonade stand, no one will find it. We will help you to generate traffic to your website!
Can I keep my existing website?
Of course. Our turnkey solution can be integrated around your existing website.
Can you design a new logo for us?
Sure, no problem. Our graphics designers will work hand-in-hand with you to create a website that is to your liking.
How will customers find out about my website?
Our marketers will ensure that your customers will find your online store through various methods:
- By reading about the online store through articles and reviews, which AlgraOnline will distribute all over the Internet.
- Content is king on the Internet. The only thing better than content is ORIGINAL and OPINIONATED content. Customers generally believe 3rd party testimonies and reviews more so than they believe corporate propaganda. We will write original content ourselves and propagate it all over the Internet.
- By finding your online store on search engines.
- AlgraOnline will ensure that all the major search engines index all of the webpages on your website. Please be advised that AlgraOnline will only utilize legitimate online marketing techniques to increase your online exposure. Although legitimate marketing techniques are painstakingly labour-intensive, we believe that the shortcuts many Search Engine Optimizers (SEOs) utilize may increase the risk of your website being penalized or de-listed by major search engines. Search engine algorithms are constantly evolving to filter out SEO tricks.
In addition, customers will also reach your online store:
- By finding out about your products in retail outlets, and going to your website.
- Through word of mouth.
How and when will I be paid?
Each of our clients are responsible for filling out a standard drop-ship agreement which will dictate the price at which merchandise will be sold to AlgraShopping.com Inc. AlgraShopping will issue a purchase order to each client for all merchandise that is purchased by end consumers. AlgraShopping will issue payment for all purchase orders at the end of each month. Our payment terms are net 45 days.
How is shipping handled?
AlgraOnline will charge each customer shipping charges depending on the amounts specified in the drop-ship agreement. Shipping charges will be included in the monthly purchase orders and will be remitted to you.
What happens if there are changes to our products (i.e. if we were to discountinue a product, change a product, or add a new item to our product line)?
Once you inform us of a product change, our web designers will update both the website and online store accordingly, and in a timely manner. All you have to do is to provide us with the new product information, the new pricing, the new product instructions, the new product specifications, and/or the new product pictures.
What payment methods can your store accept?
We can arrange for payment via VISA, MasterCard, and personal cheque or money order.
What are my responsibilities?
- To drop-ship quality merchandise on time, every time.
- To handle returns and inform AlgraOnline.com each time merchandise is returned.
- To handle customers' warranty claims and issues with defective products.
- To provide us with up-to-date product information, product instructions, specifications, and pictures for all of your products.
- To inform us about the availability of your products.
The rest is up to us!
