Odd Dog’s Recommendation

Online sales are almost always the most cost effective vehicle for selling product, however they are also a completely different animal from a standard website. You now have to consider product inventory, photos, shipping, payments, fulfillment and most importantly….security! This is a much larger undertaking than a regular website but will also show you much greater return on the investment.

A Little About E-commerce Websites

What it is
Any website that sells products and collects payments online.

What it is for
Companies that want the most cost-effective way possible to sell their products.

Why it’s awesome
Always online, always available, worldwide.  Not only does your cost of selling drop dramatically as compared to a store-front, but the market you can sell to is world-wide.

What’s the catch?
There is a lot more that goes into one of these websites and they typically require quite a bit more maintenance.  Security should be paramount as you are responsible if the credit cards of your customers ever get out into the open.
