The best e-commerce strategies are all about problem-solving. They’re about foreseeing issues before they arise, finding an effective solution, and implementing it seamlessly using the right tools.
A problem isn’t just something easily identifiable like missing inventory or a labelling mix-up. Problems are things that you might not notice without expert analysis, like a counterintuitive design interface that makes potential customers click away or a lack of scalability.
Everything about your e-commerce set-up needs to be streamlined towards improving results. Here’s how working with Maropost (Neto) partners can help you identify problems before they hinder your performance.
The first thing you need to know about your partners is that they’re not just selling a service. You need to know that it’s your business goals that are the priority and that your partners have an open, analytical approach to the best e-commerce software.
We’re not going to blankly repeat that “WordPress is a bad platform”, because it’s not. For purposes besides e-commerce, we frequently recommend WordPress to customers because of its low running costs and superb options.
However, for e-commerce purposes, the biggest problem with WordPress is scalability. Adapting a WordPress e-commerce platform is a major investment in time when you need to scale up or down; it requires a re-think of most features of your website. For e-commerce businesses in Australia that may need to quickly scale their business to meet demand, this is an issue.
Demand is incredibly fluid in e-commerce stores. Even the best web design teams will need extra time and manpower to scale your WordPress site effectively – that’s going to lead to higher costs for you as a customer. We try to deliver the most affordable offering for our clients along with the best response times and end product. That’s why we don’t recommend WordPress for e-commerce.
Shopify is another platform that we use frequently. For certain e-commerce applications, it can be a highly effective platform – but these tend to be very simple and straightforward designs.
For e-commerce businesses with a diverse offering and a focus on continuous growth, the main disadvantage of Shopify is that it has a heavy reliance on plugins. The more you’re using, the more convoluted your e-commerce site becomes, making it less secure and slower to load.
This combination is a death knell for e-commerce websites. Your customers need to be able to navigate smoothly from arrival to purchase. Any time a user has to stop and think, you’ll lose a high percentage of your traffic. Equally, you don’t want your site’s security to be compromised by an overreliance on third-party plugins, as this can make you vulnerable to malicious parties.
So how is Maropost different? First, it’s great for scalability. As an all-in-one platform, it’s extremely easy to adjust your digital presence depending on your needs.
If you need to cut back, it’s easy to create a scaled-back web presence that still looks professional and focuses on your key targets. If you need to upgrade because of high demand, there’s no need for a total rethink of your e-commerce site. Your Maropost (Neto) partners can make adjustments swiftly, minimising the cost for you and allowing you to capitalise on upscaling immediately.
As an all-in-one service, there’s much less reliance on third-party plugins than with Shopify. This means you can have a faster-running site with properly integrated security, making your customer’s journey from discovery to purchase so much smoother.
Finally, Maropost is designed for the Australian market. From payment screens to analytic tools, its offering is geared towards Australian e-commerce businesses selling to an Australian market. This allows for better optimisation than a one-size-fits-all multinational design that typically favours U.S. consumers.
When you contact us, we’ll offer a fair, transparent analysis of how Shopify or WordPress would be advantageous for your e-commerce business. We’ll give you a detailed breakdown of why we almost always recommend Maropost over these services, making our analysis relevant to your business needs and goals.
We’re Maropost (Neto) partners for a reason – we find it delivers the best results for our Australian e-commerce clients. Your success is our goal. We use only the best tools to achieve that.
