GENERAL INFORMATION

Hi there!

If you are thinking of starting an internet e-shop, you have found the right place. Retail with Success will provide you the real world view of web retail and lead you step by step, through the process of making an important decision to start-up a web store. We recommend strongly that you do make a decision, as being to start an owner-operated web retailer is not an easy job. But if you do it right, you see the fruits.

As many years back about 25 years ago, when I was working with my uncle’s store at that time, most of the owner-operated retailer had very little competition and it was relatively easy to make a profit. Year after year, everything start, changing the profit they have and the competition getting more and more , those big guy (Super store) is just around you.   

A few mistakes you make, there goes the days. The internet supermarkets are coming very soon, the new e-retailers is the new one.

Those mum and pop store have one by one are now gone.
I have seen them, they just sitting there waiting, the shelf have many items, it just getting less and less. Some even have stock on the shelves with whatever sells, those products offered are unrelated.
 
But the new generations have different way, their store have come a niche range of product and they also have a web site. But not all really understand and know how to promote their web site to get customers.
  
Now a day, more and more old people too, are using the internet to shop, and they are spending more than other age group.

There where I come in to coach them, in the broadest sense, a retail business can take many forms. However, this site deals only with the type that most people think of when they hear the term retail – the one that we refer to a traditional retail business in a traditional store location, where customers come in to the store to purchase items from an inventory of that customer has bought in order to sell. 

This web site dose not deal with any of the other forms of retail, those we refer to as nontraditional retail business. These include selling:

1. Over internet
2. Through a home-based business (does not have any traditional store location)
3. At a flea market which are temporary location
4. Have a temporary kiosk which locate at Shopping centre 
5. Through a direct-mail flyer which they can order thought the web site
6. By catalogue, where customers select item from a catalogue and order by fax or Internet web site.

While there are similarities between traditional and nontraditional retail business, there are also significant differences. Anyway you will find our site much more sources of information.
