Developing an eCommerce website can mean creating a site for your physical store or establishing a new online work opportunity.

In fact, it is an increasingly growing market trend, and thanks to platforms like Framework360, it is possible to start an online store quickly and effectively.

The benefits associated with an online store are numerous, but to create a successful eCommerce site, it's necessary to plan some strategies:

• capture the right target audience

Let's now look at some important aspects to know in order to best enter the world of eCommerce.

How does an eCommerce work?

To determine what to sell online and identify the products to include in your traditional eCommerce, it is necessary to:  

• identify your target market
• choose the products that your customers regularly purchase
• analyze the competition
• sell products for which there is a demand throughout the year and not just for a specific period

Therefore, from this it can be deduced that you will need to study the market you want to enter and consequently your target audience, to select products capable of generating sales at any time; moreover, finding your own sales niche is a very important concept, which should be exploited to fill the supply gaps of large competitors and thus find the right impetus to grow your business.

When developing an eCommerce, a significant problem that will arise related to products is the management of inventory and shipping.

A viable solution could be dropshipping. Indeed, with this sales model, someone can store the products on your behalf and handle their logistics.
