7 min read

Folytatjuk az Ecwid kereskedőkkel folytatott interjúkat az e-kereskedelemről és üzleteikről. Ma bemutatjuk Steve Calabrese, Natural Body Inc.com Partner, aki megoszt néhány tapasztalatot egy sikeres webáruház működtetéséről.

Kérjük, írja le az üzletét, mit árul?

Natural Body Inc. is a sports nutrition/vitamins store that offers a wide variety of vitamins/sports supplements and fitness accessories at wholesale prices. Mi itt a Natural Body Inc.-nél. szenvedélyes az egészség/wellness iránt, és büszkék vagyunk személyes ügyfélszolgálatunkra. Minden egyes általunk kínált terméket megvizsgálunk, hogy készek legyünk válaszolni bármely termékünkkel kapcsolatos kérdésére.

Hogyan indította el online áruházát?

Natural Body Inc. még ben alapították 1996. Kis sporttáplálék-kiskereskedelmi üzletként indult, amely a múltban egyre jobban nőtt és terjeszkedett 14 évek óta a legkelendőbb sporttáplálék-/vitaminbolt négyzetméterenként New Yorkban. Ahogy vevőkörünk nőtt, és kiterjedt az Egyesült Államok északkeleti részén, elkezdtük telefonos megrendeléseket felvenni. Ki kellett fejlesztenünk egy weboldalt, ahol ügyfeleink kényelmesen vásárolhatnak a Natural Body Inc. bárhonnan.

Miközben e-kereskedelmi megoldást keres, és különböző típusú bevásárlókocsikat vizsgál, találkoztunk az Ecwiddel, és beleszerettünk a kiterjesztett funkcióiba, rendkívül felhasználóbarát, és persze vonzó árcédula – INGYENES :) Ez volt a tökéletes webes megoldás üzleti igényeink és céljaink kielégítésére.

Hogyan reklámozod?

Jelenleg olyan közösségi hálózatokat használunk, mint pl Facebook és Twitter. We have an increasing fan base and interact regularly with our customers. One of our major daily goals here at Natural Body Inc. is to strive to keep in touch with our customers. Since Ecwid v3.0 has been released, we’ve began utilizing coupon code functionality to offer promotions such as free shipping and other various discounts which will provide opportunities for our customers to save even more money in addition to our already guaranteed lowest prices.

I see you have an active community in your Facebook page. Bármilyen tanács a működtetéshez?

Maradjon kapcsolatban rajongóival – indíthat érdekes témákat és szavazásokat, hogy a rajongók kapcsolatba lépjenek velük, és hozzászólhassanak. Tedd oldaladat közösséggé, ahol az emberek kifejezhetik visszajelzéseiket, és megoszthatják tapasztalataikat az üzletedben való vásárlással kapcsolatban. Integrálja a webhelyével, például egy levelezőlista közzététele a rajongói oldaladon, hogy a rajongók gyorsan feliratkozhassanak hírlevelekre és promóciókra, beállíthat dátumokat a Facebook naptárában a közelgő promóciókhoz vagy eseményekhez. It’s important have your fan page be as personable and enjoyable as possible for your customers and fans.

How do you ship items? Any advice on setting up shipping methods and rates?

Currently we use UPS as our shipping service. We’ve found that their shipping software, UPS WorldShip, is user-friendly and an easy to manage tool that simplifies the entire shipping process immensely.

In the beginning we ran into a few bumps with Ecwid and WorldShip. Our business needed a solution for importing orders from Ecwid into WorldShip’s necessary format. I was amazed with how fast Ecwid’s support was on the issue working towards a resolution and within hours actually developed an online converter tool, which we use daily, to streamline the process of importing orders from Ecwid into WorldShip.

In deciding which shipping method is best for your store, I advise to consult with your courier and figure out which average pound class most of your items will be shipping in. They will advise you on which shipping method is right for your business. Ecwid’s ability to select and switch between shipping methods is brilliant. azonban, if you’re on a negotiated-rates contract setting up rates and zones can be a somewhat difficult task even with a user-friendly interface such as Ecwid’s. This is an area we really hope Ecwid focuses their development on. We’d like to see Ecwid become more integrated with Online Tools provided by the shipping companies, so that retail businesses who hold negotiated-rates can fully utilize these features.

What do you want to improve in your store in near future? Miért?

Currently our main priority is expanding our online catalog to more closely match our retail store. We carry up to a hundred brands and several hundred products, which will all soon be available through our website.

What challenges have you had? How did you solve them?

Our first challenge was creating an online shopping atmosphere that was different from the rest. There are millions of cookie-cutter shopping carts that you couldn’t differentiate one online store from the next. When we found Ecwid and learned about its unique features we decided that it was the right solution for us. We believe Ecwid’s drag-n-drop functionality and lightning fast interface make our website a more enjoyable experience for our customers.

Ecwid’s comprehensive support including server administration, seamless upgrades, and support forum relieves us of the time, worry, and the expense of these activities so we can focus more on our business and customers.

What can you advise to other store owners who’ve just started to sell?

Find ways to maintain a personal connection with your customers even though they’re shopping online; whether it is by phone, contact, e-mail, blogok, fórumokon, social networking sites, stb.. This all helps the customer to continue to feel a more personal connection to you and your business.

So simple to use – even my most technophobic clients can manage. Easy to install, quick to set up. Light years ahead of other shop plugins.
I’m so impressed I’ve recommended it to my website clients and am now using it for my own store along with four others for which I webmaster. Beautiful coding, excellent top-notch support, great documentation, fantastic how-to videos. Thank you so much Ecwid, you rock!
I’ve used Ecwid and I love the platform itself. Everything is so simplified it’s insane. I love how you have different options to choose shipping carriers, to be able to put in so many different variants. It’s a pretty open e-commerce gateway.
Easy to use, megfizethető (and a free option if starting off). Looks professional, many templates to select from. The App is my favorite feature as I can manage my store right from my phone. Highly recommended 👌👍
I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
