This feature can be real, a profitable, and an eye-opener revelation for all the aspiring businessmen or start-ups for that matter.
Here is the secret to doing a high profit, 24 hour business [without you being busy 24 hours], and fewest operations in the workday.
MODEL A- SHOWROOM/ OFFLINE BUSINESS
Look at the basic MBA approach to run a business, so far its wings are production, marketing, HR, finance. If you are a marketer, they buy the product from a manufacturer. Then you need a showroom/shop that is too in a suitable locale, décor/display, the site branding, efficient salespeople, and further advertising for attracting walk-ins. After this, the sale starts and then eventually the conversion into sales. Then there is the competition that is ready to snatch the share of walk-ins. A continuous insertion of advertising to keep the recall high. All this you do for the city where you are located or the province of the city. Then at the end of the financial year, you find out the net profits after deducting all the expenses that too pre-tax.
MODEL B- ONLINE STORE BUSINESS
Here you don’t need a showroom, sales staff, site decor, and the operational rigmarole every day. Instead, you have to begin with an insightful research a website [you need an equal E-Commerce Website Development Solutions provider that has a vision and discretion about online business].
The site can describe the credentials of the company, product catalogue, and pricing. Here, it can be directly from manufacturer to customer/buyer or marketer to buyer, thereby saving all the supply chain, steps, and costs. The Geographic’s have no limit to the reach of the store, and the product is available 24×7 to the buyer.
Specifically, what you need to do for the online store is clubbing of e-commerce facility- that is the payment gateway. Thus, the purchase amount is paid by the buyer by debit/credit card and goes to your bank account by this route.
They inform you the next second when the product is selected and the buyer makes the purchase. Further, you have to have a contract-based courier service to deliver the product to the buyer’s doorstep.
