Design Industries worked hand in hand with the company stakeholders at Petcover to analyse and plan the requirements for the different custom web applications. Design Industries firstly integrated the eWay Payment Gateway solution which would enable Petcover to accept secure credit card payments in real time through their front end website with instant notification of the payment status. Design Industries also created a recurring payment transaction system to handle the monthly payments the website needed to handle.

Petcover also required their current admin portal to have advanced real time reporting capabilities which was delivered by using the capabilities of SQL reporting services.

The end result enables Petcover to meet the needs of its clients in a more efficient and seamless way whilst providing the reporting tools to manage their online website transactions and client management via an easy to manage system.

Part 3 of 3: Promotion & Marketing

The classic saying, “If you build it, they will come,” unfortunately does not apply to e-commerce sites.  Millions of e-commerce sites are accessible on the internet, but unless you’ve directly contacted prospective customers and informed them of your site, they probably won’t ever know it exists.  Therefore, e-commerce sites need well-developed marketing plans and  carefully targeted investments that are aimed at increasing site traffic.  A strong search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy to attract customers to your site is also a necessity.  In this final part of our three-part series, we explore the common mistakes that new e-commerce sites make in creating and implementing their promotion and marketing plans.

Common Mistakes in E-Commerce: A Three-Part Series

By Sam Pascua

Developing and operating an e-commerce site opens your business to millions of prospective customers and a potentially unlimited stream of income.  But simply adding a product catalogue and a shopping cart to your website won’t guarantee that viewers will actually click the “checkout” button.

To be successful, an online store needs to be a professional, functional and trustworthy website while providing great service and products.  Think of brick-and-mortar stores: if you dislike the service or staff, or feel that you got a bad deal, then you probably won’t be spending your hard-earned money there.  E-commerce works in the same way.  Customers need confidence in your company, site, service and products in order to make a purchase and, ultimately, become repeat customers.

This three-part series explores the most common mistakes made today in e-commerce.  Readers will learn about creating a proper store/site design, evaluating the customers’ experience and ensuring good customer relationships, and managing promotions and marketing campaigns.  By avoiding these common mistakes and pitfalls, you’ll be on your way to a successful and profitable e-commerce site.
