How to Grow Your Ecommerce – What Questions to Ask?

These numbers are certainly destined to increase, in fact, in the first months of 2018 there was an increase of 8% in this figure. Industry analysts expect to close the year with double-digit growth.

If you have an e-commerce site or are thinking of starting one, there are many questions that will run through your head and, above all, there are many aspects that you need to take into consideration to make your e-commerce successful.

Below I list some of these fundamental aspects:

analysis of the product sector in which it will be sold

choice of a partner for the creation of the e-commerce portal

consequent choice of technological platform (CMS)

choosing a Hosting Partner

Naturally, in this and the next videos, I will focus attention on this last aspect, that of the choice of hosting, often left until last... in every sense.

We invest thousands of euros for our e-commerce project and when it comes to making the choice for hosting, the machine that will take us to the finish line in the most important race of all, do we choose the less powerful one?

I know what you're thinking: "you sell hosting, you can't help but say that your product is more important". But that's not what I'm about to tell you. A successful e-commerce needs all the components involved to be at the TOP to increase sales:

COMMUNICATION oriented towards sales

HOSTING to support the sales platform

This episode of the Vlog is just the first of a long series of videos in which we will cover all the aspects to take into consideration when choosing the best hosting for your successful e-commerce:

SPEED How to improve the speed of an e-commerce site? Specifically, what has already been explained in the first video published "How to improve the speed of a website - SPEED" will be explored in depth

SECURITY How to guarantee the security of our data? Have you ever thought about where your data, the data of your customers, of your business are kept?

PEAK MANAGEMENT How to guarantee the success of your e-commerce during times of greatest traffic? Has it ever happened to you that your e-commerce was down just when there was a greater influx of users on the site?

CHECK UP What is the health of your e-commerce? In order to improve the performance of your e-commerce site, it is important to know its current state of health. Only by measuring certain values ​​can these be improved and therefore corrective actions can be taken to achieve successful e-commerce.
