Imagine having your storefront open 24/7.
Advantage Internet Marketing understands your company's needs. Sometimes your company just needs an online presence, a website that will professionally provide your users with information, but ultimately leads to them either calling you or visiting you to actually purchase your products or services. In a society with Amazon and Walmart selling their products directly online and cutting out the middle man, having a customer come to your store is sometimes just one step too many.
That's why Advantage Internet Marketing offers our clients the ability to have their storefront open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You make sales without needing to be at your location behind the register.
The Strategy
Advantage Internet Marketing is much more then just your typical web design company. We sit down with you in the beginning and help you to develop an online strategy for selling your products or services. This is an important part of the process for us. It helps us to better understand your target market, establish what areas you're looking to predominantly sell in, learn about any features that you need, and much, much more.
Ecommerce Shopping Carts
From here, we figure out what e-commerce solution package is going to work the best for you and your company. We work with all of the leading e-commerce solutions and will determine the best solution for you.
Standalone Shopping Cart
There are a vast array of already setup shopping carts out there. We stylize their system for you and get everything setup in the backend and then you're able to fully manage it while the system takes care of processing payments and notifying you of purchases. A few examples of a standalone shopping cart would be:
- Flying Cart
- Shopify
- Big Cartel
- Magento
- Zen-Cart
- osCommerce
Third Party Solutions
If you're also in need of a content management system (CMS) for your site or just have a few items to sell, we will often develop your project in a CMS that we work with and then add the eCommerce functionality to your site, so that you get the powerful features of a CMS with the added functionality of an eCommerce cart. We have worked with and developed eCommerce solutions for:
- Joomla
- Wordpress
- Drupal
We can also incorporate Paypal shopping buttons into your existing website to provide a low cost solution.
Custom Solutions
In some situations, there is no existing ecommerce solution that is capable of the features that your company needs. When that happens, we build our own. Take for example our client, cStoreDeals. CstoreDeals wanted to build a daily deal system that would work in a way similar to Groupon but they wanted to target convenience stores. We went to the drawing table and developed a complete system for cStoreDeals to be able to set up their products, the cost, how long the deal was good for, and a minimum number of purchasers before the deal was active. After some tweaking and examining of the market, their business is growing exponentially!
Internet Marketing
And after it's all said and done, the site is up, the shelves are stocked, that's when Advantage Internet Marketing starts working on what they do best; ensuring that your name and your product gets out there in front of the people who needs to see it. Too many web design companies get the site up and then they're done, but here at Advantage, we work with you and closely monitor traffic and conversions to help better optimize your site and to employ a winning Internet Marketing Campaing including pay per click, linking campaigns, online advertising, social media marketing, and more! It's in the first phase (the strategy planning) and the last phase of our process that our clients see why our company name is Advantage Internet Marketing and not Advantage Web Design.
