Why should your business be using digital marketing?

Digital marketing has become extremely important for businesses in Pakistan. This is because the internet penetration in the country has been on the rise for the last decade. Companies make huge spends on creation of their online presence. The consumer of today has a limited attention span, set preferences and a vast array of options to choose from. This puts companies in a highly challenging competition which they need to keep up with. With more companies investing their time and resources in online marketing, relying on your old advertising tactics is not enough to win over customers. Every large and small scale business needs a digital presence to connect with their customers. Different benefits are attached with different modes of digital marketing. For instance having an online store helps businesses in exponentially increasing their sales. Social media marketing helps in making the people aware of a service or a product and reaching people with specific psychographics, geographic and demographics etc.

Challenges in Building an Online Presence

A good ecommerce website is the cornerstone of a business yet it requires putting in thought and work that could require a lot of effort. There are a plethora of choices that one needs to make while creating a website or an app – HTML, PHP or HTTP, WordPress or Drupal. Dreamhost or Bluehost, Template Theme or Custom Theme, Static or Dynamic, Responsive or Unresponsive and so on. Similarly striking the right chord within your social media target audience is not that easy to pull off. With platforms offering automation in generating ad copies or finding the suitable audiences for businesses and creating online stores for your businesses, the work is made easier for businesses.

How can Startup.pk help you?

Imagine if there was someone who could create a website for your business and market your products/services in a manner that offers guaranteed return on investment. Perhaps someone who could help you quickly launch your dream business and start selling to your customers, wherever they are and help you customize your store or even build it from the ground up. That someone is Startup.pk which will set up a Shopify store for you. Shopify is a subscription-based software that allows anyone to set up an online store and sell their products. Shopify store owners can also sell in physical locations using Shopify POS, our point-of-sale app and accompanying hardware. If you’re a Shopify merchant with both an online and physical presence, your inventory and stock get synced so you can manage your store(s) from one account, on any device.

How does Shopify work?

With Shopify, merchants can build and customize an online store and sell in multiple places, including web, mobile, social media, online marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. Shopify also has features to manage products, inventory, payments, and shipping.

Shopify is completely cloud-based and hosted, which means you can access it from any connected compatible device and it will handle software and server upgrades and maintenance for you. This gives you the flexibility to access and run your business from anywhere with an internet connection.

On any given day, a business owner needs to showcase products, engage with customers, get paid, ship a product, and manage their day-to-day finances and operations. Some businesses use different tools to manage each of those activities—and spend a lot of time and money stitching the disparate systems and data together.

Alternatively, a commerce platform groups those technologies together and becomes the base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed. In other words, Shopify’s commerce platform offers all of the business tools you’ll need in one, familiar place.

Selling Items Worldwide and Using Different Payment Methods

 

Shopify allows sellers to sell their items worldwide using Shopify’s own auto currency converter. It detects the user’s country and converts the prices according to that country’s currency. There are also apps through which sellers can sell one product at different prices to different users located in different countries. 

What can you sell on Shopify?

You can sell a range of products and services on Shopify, including but not limited to: physical products, digital products (e.g., eBooks or email templates), memberships (e.g. subscription boxes, online yoga studio memberships), ticketed experiences, classes and lessons, and more. Take a few minutes to read our official terms of service to be certain that what you plan to sell is legal where you live.

Where can you sell with Shopify?

With Shopify, you can sell everywhere your customers are. That means your own website; in person, like your retail store or a trade show event; on marketplaces like Amazon and eBay; on social media channels like Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram; wholesale; and via Handshake.

Why is Shopify better than WordPress or any custom solution?

Shopify charges you USD 29 per month for its services which includes hosting, a well groomed and easy to use platform which doesn’t require any assistance of developers for regular maintenance. You do have to pay for the build however the majority of its plug-ins are either free or charge a very small fee. If you compare the prices of both, Shopify will come out as the clear winner by the end of the day.
