Building Trust And Your Online Blinds Business When You Sell Blinds

By Jenny Peng


Planning is fundamental to the success of any business. A good plan is an essential part of an online blinds business. With a good plan, selling blinds online can become a comfortable source of income for you. Here are some plans and tips on how to open a successful online blinds business.

The point of advertising is to make your business stand apart. Your advertising should not replicate that of other companies. Your window blind product should look unique. Plus search engines need to know that your content is unique in order for your site to be included in their listings.

Use every opportunity you can to promote your website. Always have business cards on you. Tuck a few in your purse or even make yourself a keying pouch to hold them! You need to be able to whip one out at the drop of a hat! Consider having a range of your window blind product photos printed onto the reverse of business cards or on postcards as they can then be like a little window blind product catalogue you can show interested people.

When selling small blinds that make sense to purchase in bulk, offer great discounts for customers who purchase a large amount. A 40-60% savings on bulk blinds can attract new customers and encourage previous customers to begin buying in bulk. Always be sure to provide shipping rates up front.

At times, some customers show some hesitation while buying something online. You can offer them some discount deals so that they might get motivated and might eventually end up as your regular shoppers. After an initial encouragement from you, they will never be reluctant to buy from you again.

Having a service rating functionality to allow your customers to share their experiences with your company is also a great idea, but beware as sometimes customers do not always give you are fair hearing if things don't go perfectly and issues are not rectified immediately, for whatever reason.

Use high-quality photos of blinds on your site. If the consumer finds blurry, small or unattractive images, they will be deterred from buying your blinds. Stay competitive with your window blind product images.

Be active and keep on building an understanding level between you and your customers. Identify your local competitors and try to be on higher ranking while making the plunge for social networking sites. This can only be possible by joining maximum social media sites and making yourself prominent so that more and more people may know you in lesser span of time and visit your site frequently.

Another simple way to keep your name in the forefront is to have your company contact info on the footer of all documents. Also hand out window blind product flyers with purchases of other blinds. This shows the customers that you have other things that they may want to buy.
