This articles' heading may seem a little pessimistic, which leans towards the obvious answer... which is very little. However, we thought we would put together a short blog explaining the realities faced by thousands of eCommerce businesses to help prepare them for the competitive online world.
There are many reasons as to why retailers should have an eCommerce site: bigger audience, less overheads etc. Many businesses see the success stories such as ASOS; the massive potential and jump head first into getting a fancy online shop. If we take the story of ASOS, they started in 2000 and now have assets
worth £237m. What many people don't know is that it was started by the grandson of Austin Reed and with £2.4m start up capital. We can assure you that very few clients will have that kind of funding behind them.
We're sure the word 'engagement' has existed for some time now, but it is just us or is the word used constantly in the media and by people like us?
Whether it's by politicians or chief executives, it seems to be the go-to word when discussing how they are going to solve all of their problems.
Well, we're as guilty as all of them as engagement is the entire purpose of any social media campaign. In respect of social media, engagement means someone interacting with you, whether it be in response to your post or proactively to your page or maybe just tagging you and your brand into their message.
This is all well and good but why is it so important?
