The setting up of an Internet shopping cart.

BASICS

You have to have patience with yourself and those that you are working with.

You need a list of what you want to offer…preferably on a spread sheet with the following info:

You will need an INTERNET merchant account for all credit cards or a PAY PAL account – both of which we help you with. If you currently take credit cards, that organization normally can upgrade you to an INTERNET account.

After the above is taken care of it is just a matter of time putting it all up on the INTERNET, which is what we make simple for you.

We pride ourselves on supporting your efforts. You can call as often as you like for assistance. Our cart has so many features it is difficult to explain them all at once. Once you are you are up and running you will wonder if you can do something…you can – it probably already built in.

PLAN

We will spend up to four hours with showing the different options such as: If you are an in-house store, it is pretty simple but if you want other sales you have to decide how to promote. You have word-of-mouth, Internet directories like Google, Yahoo and Bing to name a few. Then there is Social Media, Facebook, Linked In and hundreds more with more on the way. After that you take or we negotiate a fair rate for doing SEO work for you.
