The best way to get your business off the ground fast is to find a company that partners with you and not just sells you products. This is where Nextday PC steps up to the plate. They give you everything you need for free to get a complete computer eStore full of computer products and software to sell. At NO COST.
NextDay PC ... NextDay PC is a wholesale drop shipper of computer components, notebooks, and desktops. They provide you with a free account. The difference between NextDayPC and others is that you use there infrastructure to host a website. Your site will have a URL like www.nexdaypc/mysite. This is not all bad if you are just looking to add some online shopping to you already existing website. For my purpose I created an account to test out the services and also provide some ability for my PC customers to purchase products at competitive prices.
The product ... What do you get with your account? You get a customers website. You get access to a backend website. The URL is www.resellers.com You have the ability with you admin website to control the markup of the products. You can set the markup from 1 to 15%. To be competitive I suggest you go with 3 to 5%. This should price most of the products with in a good range for the online shopper. The backend website has sales tools, sale figures, marketing tools. You can upload your own logo to replace the NextDayPC logo. A really nice bonus is they send you promotional emails that you can cut an paste into you own email. This is all ready setup with links to your store front. So just paste it and send it out to your customers. Another great thing about this partnership is that you do not need to process any purchases. They handle all the transactions for you and then post your profits of the purchase to your account. They do the shipping, provide the toll free number for support and questions. All you need to do is setup an account and promote.
The challenges ... All this is a quick way to get an eCommerce store up and running it does have its drawbacks. The first is that all affiliates have the same base url. www.nextdaypc.com/your_store_name. So you can see this will be a little hard to promote. Search Engine will not find this URL too friendly. It works well if you have a site that gets traffic all ready and you wish to add a quick eCommerce site dedicated to computers. Price can be a little bit of a challenge as well. Since the site is really an affiliate programs as opposed to a true supplier/drop shipper. This can make pricing a little tough. But as I touched on earlier if you set your markup to about 3 to 5% you should be in a good range. Remember this should be your bread and butter site just a nice value added feature to your already existing website. Conclusion I think this is a good deal for a couple of reason. The first and my favorite is setup is free. They charge nothing for you to open an account. They also send you a nice package in the mail for your review. They have a good range of products for shoppers to choose from. You can list your own phone number or use their toll free number. They provide promotional tools and emails that you can copy and send out to your email lists. At this point the only challenges I can see is the fact that everyone’s URLs start the same. Pricing can be a little bit of a trick. But they are in the good range. Not the highest and not the lowest but good enough to get you some sales. So give it a try and see what happens. Takes minutes to setup and it could add some income to your online income stream.
