E-Commerce Websites by D & D Media Group

E-Commerce, or shopping cart web sites have become a popular shopping alternative for consumers who buy everything from books to clothing to automobiles to pet toys using the internet and online shopping. What is e-commerce and why do you need it? To put it simply, e-commerce is the buying and selling of goods on the internet. You might think that the arena of e-commerce is only for big businesses, but today many small and medium businesses are very successful at selling their products locally, nationally, and globally.

D & D Media Group builds affordable e-commerce web sites for small and medium businesses in the columbus ohio area and throughout the country.

In order to start an e-commerce, online business and make it successful, you will need the following:

  • A domain name; for example, http://www.mysite.com
  • A website or online store that lists your products and services.
  • A method for receiving payment from your customers; for example, you can receive payments by accepting credit cards or by using Paypal.
  • A method for completing your orders; for example, once you sell a product and accept payment for it, you need to ship it to the customer.
  • A method for attracting new and returning customers. See our search engine marketing for details on how to attract potential customers to your site.
  • A method of keeping in touch with customers for repeat business. This is often done with E-Mail Marketing.

    • See our E-Commerce Need Assessment Questions to help you and D & D Media Group determine the best shopping cart solution for your business.
