Selling online has never been easier pro e-commerce websites from £1500

With rising costs of business rents, staff and all things relating to being fixed to a shop, selling online has never been more appealing.

At Aubergine, we have developed several web packages to get you selling online in no time at all and with the maximum impact. It was shown just this Christmas that between 1st December and 23rd December, a higher value of sales was made online for Christmas gifts than in-store purchases. And with some of our favourite high street brands all heading into administration, HMV being the latest as I write this, the death knell for physical shops is ringing in the distance.

There will still be a market for shops. As consumers we still need to browse and buy things in person. It probably stems from some deep and ancient thing in the human pysche from caveman times where we went out in hunter and gatherer mode – we go heading off to the shops on a Saturday mooching, oohing and aahing and deciding finally on that purchase that you will claim as yours, drag to the car and drive home.

However, the online spend per household is rising daily and before long, most purchases will be all done online. In most cases, the service is just better – why wrestle with hundreds of others who cough and splutter in your face, carrying your stuff around with your little M&S sandwich bag in tow (along with a moaning kiddie or two) and run the risk of it taking an hour to get out of the car park, when you can browse in the comfort of your sofa, with your laptop or iPad, nice cup of something and have it delivered to your office or home a day or two later? It just makes much more sense and a better use of our time.

Now, I am not saying shops are dead. We still need them for those items that require a lot more reviewing and investigating in person. However, I do see the high street becoming less shop-based and more restaurant and social destination-based.

With this in mind, many thousands of people took the opportunity over the Christmas and New Year period to decide they want to set up their own business and sell online. And why not?

With setup costs to sell online from as little as £1500, you can own a fully-secure website that sells all your stuff, takes order and customer details and helps you manage the order and customer details, products, stock levels and even the SEO all in one place. So apart from that, all you’ll then need is a convenient place in your home to store all the stuff you want to sell (the hallway, living room and bedrooms are not recommended for your home’s harmony!).

So, call us today to make a totally commitment-free appointment and we’ll show you examples of what’s available and how it might work for your business.
