tastes and preferences very closely before finalizing what you plan to
sell.

qualified salesmen and an indulgent ambience. Similarly, for an

user friendly software is essential. A good choice of software
ensures that visitors to the ecommerce site can easily navigate the
website. Shopping cart assures a quick and mistake free tabulation
of costs and charges and it also makes note of the customer’s
purchases. Payment gateways build trust among the shoppers. And

re-invites the visitors back to the site.

8. O Use Social Commerce to spread to word:

that they garner the attention of the people who are frequenting
social network sites. The benefit of indulging in this subset of
ecommerce is that it gets the name of the brand around through
online word-of-mouth as it encourages communication between
users who have the brand in common. They initiate
conversations, build connections with the users and give the brand
great visibility.
