The complexities of setting up and managing an online shop
It can be complicated to run your own online store with many things to think about e.g:
- How do I accept payments?
- How do I charge for handling and shipping?
- What is involved with selling internationally?
The A7Shop Checklist can be useful to work out what you might need to have in place before creating your online business.
A Product Information System (PIM) will help you better manage ALL the data associated with your products and catalogues
If your sales and marketing efforts are hampered by difficult access to quality images, videos, product information, technical data, brochures and PDFs, then a PIM system could be your answer. A PIM is a cloud-based storage system that contains all the product data relating to your product catalogue(s) including:
- descriptions
- catalogues
- brochures and PDFs
- tags
- technical details
- languages
- images, videos,
- retail standards
- prices
Having this information centralised and easily accessible means updating is a breeze, outputs are coordinated, and systems are integrated which allows for more time to be spent on selling and branding.
Ascend7 has partnered with Sales Layer to provide an effective, configurable PIM solution to solve your product and catalogue challenges.
