Plans are worthless, but planning is everything sounds good, but what does it mean?

In this blog we will talk about business plans.

Now, quickly jumping back to the court plan is worthless, but planning is everything. Many entrepreneurs think that a business plan is nothing but a waste of time. And we cannot blame them. 

Even many successful entrepreneurs have said that they never looked at their business plan once they launched, but then these same people also stress on the value that the plan and especially the planning process has offered them. So what is the gist here? Should you spend time to create and write down your business plan or not, not convinced? 

Let me explain it further. When you will sit down to research and think about your business plan, you will get clarity on what your first step should be and what should be the next one.

You will also be able to set short and long term goals and milestones, which will act as a blueprint to work on and also helps smoother the whole process. And don't worry. I'm not sure to simply motivate you to build a business plan and then leave you to start from scratch. We will discuss it right here. 

What are the steps that you can follow to build a successful business plan that will assure you growth and sustainability. Now let's dive in. Oh, wait. Before you on your business plan. I hope you've come up with an incredible business idea refined. It found the perfect name for it.

Now let's start with the essential confidence of a business plan.

1- Executive Summary:  In simple terms, an executive summary is an overview of your business and your plans. Make sure you write this summary in a concise and interesting way, because if you want to get investors on board,this is the first thing they last for.

Tip: It's better to write this summary. Once you've completed the planning and research process so that you can make sure that you include all the important aspects in it. 

2- Opportunity: Now, this is where you explain the problem you're willing to solve because to be a successful business, you need to provide some value. And it is best when the value is in the form of a solution to any problem. 

Along with the problem, this section also discusses the target market, how your product fits into the existing market and what makes it unique, and also do a competitor analysis to know where you stand in the market and what all things you can do better.

3- Execution: Now that you have a problem and a solution, the next step is implementation. It will also include your sales plan goals and metrics for success. Now, while writing the execution, do your research well and pen down the strategies you would be using for marketing and growth. Also focus on the development designs, operations and management plans.

4- Financial Plan: This section is very important here. You will have to dig deep to lay down a sales forecast, cash flow, income statement, and balance sheet. Now don't be scared. I know it sounds like a headache, but trust me, you can easily accomplish this task. 

And most importantly, don't believe in the stereotype that only a business expert can manage these rewards with a little bit of research. You can do it as well. You don't have to make it complicated. All you need is a simple overview.

5- Appendix: Now this section is completely optional. You can use it for additional information details or productive features, and just like that, your business plan is ready.

Have you ever felt like there was a broader audience, your business wasn't reaching? The future is digital as online shopping surges year after year. More and more small businesses are realizing that the best way to connect to their customers is via e-commerce. Whether you're looking to move the entire structure of your business online, or just need a better way to showcase your products and services on the web, you've come to the right place.

 Five steps to get your business online and making sales

1- Get To Know Your Audience:

Running a physical location means that you actually have a leg up on the digital competition here. After all, you get to interact with your customers daily and you know what they love and what gets them frustrated. Talk to your team and start building a profile of your average customers. 

Ask yourself, how will the ease of online shopping impact their buying habits and how can you increase the size of each purchase for customers? Shopping online products might be the same, but the shopping experience is different. And you need to find ways to adapt.

2- Check Out The Competition:

The kind of competition your business faces will change radically. When you move online after all, there's no foot traffic to rely on, and you're not just competing in your local area. Start by figuring out the main businesses in your niche. Both small and large Chances are Amazon will make the list, but also think about local and regional businesses with an online presence. The trick here is communicating what makes your business unique and how you're a better choice for potential customers. The ability to order online with free pickup in store.

Examples can incentivize local customers to choose you. Spend some time looking at your competitor's websites and social media, to get a sense of what their customers respond to and where you can do better.

3- Make A Plan For Fulfillment:

Start with three questions. 

1-How will you ship your products?

2-How will you manage inventory? 

3- How will you handle returns?

Chances are you'll be able to keep a lot of your existing processes in place. You just need to expand them to include your online customers. Returns are particularly tricky online, but they're also really important to creating a great customer experience. Make sure your return policy is listed clearly on your QPe online store and is easily accessible for your customers. It can be tempting to only accept returns on purchases from your physical location, but remember that pretty much every large retailer has a return policy in place that favours the customer.

 Tip: Consider offering free returns for store credit, to the cost of shipping.

4- Invest in a professional look: 

Treat the look of your site the way you would the look of your physical location. Keep things neat, clean, and streamlined, and avoid too many conflicting elements and calls to action. Remember that long load times on your site will massively hurt your conversions. Check your site speed regularly using a tool like Google's page speed insights and make the recommended changes to keep things moving smoothly.

You'll also want a payment gateway included this way. QPe provides you the best payment gateway integrations.Customers can securely check out on your site with minimum effort.

5- Focus Hard On Marketing:

You're competing with a much larger market online. So getting the word out about your products has to be one of your top priorities, promoting your digital presence within your physical location is an easy first step.

A coffee shop. For example, can include signs at the register advertising that they also sell beans online.

You'll likely want to invest in paid advertising on search engines and social media. Start small and figure out what kind of messaging works best for your audience. Building up your presence in organic search is another key part of digital marketing SEO. Isn't easy. So if you don't have a content operation already, you might want to consider working with a consultant to start ranking for terms related to your product.

 If you're already running a business, you'll need to find a product that complement your current offer. Something that expands the customer experience of your brand. For example, an accounting business could carry calendars that highlight important financial moments in the year With your new products. 

You'll also need to factor in the added cost of fulfillment. If it costs Rs150 to ship a product, the overall value of the item needs to be enough that your customers will feel comfortable paying for shipping. On top of the initial price.

3- Build An Online Store.

Pay per. Click ads on search engines and social media are a great way to drive traffic to your online QPe store.

For your existing customers, store announcements and email campaigns aimed at your list can drive interest in your new products. 

6- Social Selling.

Consider updating your business Facebook page with a storefront to sell your new product, Tagging physical items on your Instagram also makes it easy for customers to tap and seamlessly shop. Finally, product rich pins on Pinterest are another way to create a streamlined shopping experience on social media.

Integrate your all social media handles with QPe.

7- Expand Gradually.

If your business has never sold physical products before, you'll probably want to start with a single item and grow from there. 

Selling a range of product types, opens up some exciting opportunities, trying packaging items together, and offering upsell at checkout. If your business sells services, you can bundle those with a physical product or two to get a bigger overall sale.

That’s it.

You know, here at QPe, we've seen several success stories of people starting their online journey and making it big. There are many stores on QPe where people make more than 1 Lakh rupees per month in revenue, college kids who started out for fun are making Lakhs by selling things online.  People who were doing corporate jobs, quit their jobs, and started selling vegetables, and making Lakh every month through QPe.

 But what is it that they're doing right? That they are successful.

I'll share with you the four things all successful online stores have in common.

1- Highlight Your Products: The first thing they have noticed successful stores do is that they focus on their products and highlight them, Be it groceries or garments, successful stores always make their products look great. 

For example, clearer and better product photos, variation, and product descriptions alone can make your products look great on the store. When someone visits your online store, the only thing they have in mind is to find a great product.

So, it makes sense to make your products look good more than anything. If you fail at that though, you have lost your chance in convincing a customer. 

So do all that you can to make your products look great in your store. Write details, unique product descriptions, click better pictures with the good camera and add as many variations that are available. We are sure it'll impress your customers more than anything in the store.

2- Offers And Discounts : Almost all the stores on QPe that generate more than Lakhs in revenue, have discount coupons and offers on their store all the time.

See, many of us think that offering discount coupons and offers will reduce your profit margins.

That is not true. Customers have reported that they tend to buy more than they see discount coupons in a store that they like and creating discount coupons is super easy on QPe stores.

You can then share it with anyone like people who have already bought a product from your store. It'll make them buy more and be a loyal customer to your store. Super easy, right? Try it out today.

3- Custom Design And Look : Common thing that we've seen in successful stores on QPe is custom design and look.

You see, when you start out with QPe, every store has the same theme auto look. We are working on the Theme section. So, you can choose your custom theme on your own.

The QPe team keeps adding more and more new designs every now and then. Stay tuned for more new themes.

4- Customer Service : One thing, all the stores on QPe that are making more than one lakhs rupees per month, do exceptionally well is customer service.

Not just normal customer service, but exceptional customer service. And what does that mean? Here are the things that we learn. All of them know who their customers are. They connect and touch base with them. 

Once a while through WhatsApp or chat, they ask them for feedback after every sale and make sure they are happy. If there are issues beyond their control, like a delayed ship being or whatever they give discounts for the next purchase, they have a very personal relationship with their customers and usually have them in a closed private group, sharing exclusive offers and updates.

See, these are the things that we all see in an online store that we buy from just that when we run the stores ourselves, we forget to implement them. You can get your customers list from the QPe merchant dashboard.

So guys, like I said, successful stores do nothing extraordinary, but they do things in a smart way. Make the most of your QPe App. Working on these points you will definitely  get more customers and sales.

So, there you have it guys, four common things between stores making more than one lakh rupees per month in revenue on QPe.

I hope you too, try them in your store and get to the one lakh rupees plus club. Soon.

If you are an entrepreneur looking for a trendy new idea for a business, what would you say to taking this stuff out of your overflowing wardrobe and turning it into cash to run a business that not just brings you profit, but also gives back to the environment. That is what the drifting business is all about.

Thrift stores are those shops that collect used products and wearable like books, clothes, shoes, bags, home decor, etc, and sell them at a much lower price. They collect these products through multiple sources, clean and sanitize them before putting them up for sale. For lack of better words, they are called second hand stores.

The concept of such stores has been around for a long time and people have been shopping in them for a long time too. But until now it is usually those people who cannot afford to buy brand new products. In recent times, though, it is almost a wild trend to shop at a secondhand store. It is not even called a secondhand store anymore. It is called a thrift store and the products are not called used. They're called Pre Loved.

This business, which may seem like a lot of mess, is currently worth 36 billion dollars. And it is estimated to grow over 75 billion dollars by 2025.

So,let's get started.

Step One: Like in any other business, starting a thrift store also starts with Market research and finding your niche.

Considering that thrift in itself is a narrowed version of a retail business. You must be wondering what it means to find your niche within the thrifting business.

Let me explain a little bit more. There are various categories of products that can be salvaged and resold, which include apparels, footwear bags, utensils, kitchenware, home decor, and much more. It is smarter to choose a category of products when you're getting started on your own online business. And you can always expand as the business grows, choosing your niche should be based on a meticulous research of your target market, as well as the profitability factor.

For example, if you're planning to sell pre loved books, you may not be able to make a lot of profit out of the business. You can get a max of 10 to 15% profit on each book sold. However, if you are selling pre-loved shoes or home decor products, for example, you can easily make up to 70% profit on every product sold.

Step Two: Source your product and manage your inventory.

When you are starting out, you can actually pick products from your own home that you do not use anymore, clean and sanitize them, and you can put them up for sale in your store.

You can ask your family, friends, and neighbours to donate products from their homes too. However, as your business grows, depending on such a small circle will not be enough. You'll have to invest in source products in bulk from other places.

Some of the spots you can hit to source pre-loved products for your stores are flea markets, garage sales around your location. Consignment stores, markets wholesale clear in sales and export reject markets. Once you start getting products in bulk, the next important step is to manage your inventory smartly and efficiently.

Many people overlook the step and they think they can manage the stocks on the go. However, when you are not organised with your inventory, managing your orders becomes stuff. And the chances of making a mistake in shipments increases. So ensure that you have a strong inventory management system in place to help you run your business smoothly.

      Other things to keep in mind while setting up your online store are

1- Choose a store name that represents your business as well as resonates with your target audience

2- Design a logo that goes with your brand colours on your storefront and make it look aesthetically pleasing as possible.

3- Add your products, name the products, and provide accurate product descriptions. Use an about space in your store to give more information about your brand to your customers, give them your backstory and connect with them.

4- Get your store policies straight like terms and conditions, return and refund policies, shipping details, etc.

Step Three: The right e-commerce platform for setting up your store.

As I have said time and time again, you can always go for an open source eCommerce platform like woo commerce, which is free of course, to start with however, you will need a lot of technical support to design your e-commerce.

You need to pay  for domain and hosting. And the expense list grows on a platform like QPe. You can set up a store within minutes. You do not need any technical skills or design skills. All you need to do is download the QPe app  logging with your phone number, name your store, and start adding products. And that is it. Your store is now ready to go live.

Step Four: Start accepting orders, managing payments & shipping.

Once you have set up your online store and have started bringing in the traffic to your store, the orders are going to start flowing in and you should be prepared for the same. When you choose a platform like QPe managing the orders, shipping the orders, tracking the shipment and running your business. In general, it's made a lot easier.

QPe offers a range of tools and plugins that helps business owners manage their business effectively and run it smoothly.

Step Five: Marketing & Scaling up your business.

It is a task that ensures that your business is getting noticed and being noticed by people. It brings in new customers to your store and helps you turn your business into a brand.

Here are some simple marketing strategies that you can use for your thrift store.

1- Have a strong content strategy in place. Write blogs, engage in forums, etc. Try guest blogging to make sure you have the traffic coming in.

2- Be active on social media platforms. Post about your business behind the screens of how you pick your products for your thrift store. Give some styling tips and get in on the trends.

3- Put aside some budget to run paid Ad words on Google, Facebook, and other social media platforms.

4- Use SEO-friendly product descriptions and names for the products in your store.

5- Ask your customers to advocate your business and your products, request them for their feedback and then share it on their social media as well.

So,these are the five steps to starting your own online thrift store and running it successfully.

How much would it cost to set up an online thrift store on QPe?

What would be the initial investment or charges involved in starting a thrift store? The big question ahead of you? Well, the investment isn't a lot, just a few to be necessity covered, like subscription for an e-commerce platform, laundry and dry cleaning services, packaging and branding, material shipping services paid advertising on Google and social media photography and graphic design services on assignment basis.

That is all the investment it takes to set up your own online thrift store. If you are serious about starting the thrift store business, I would say there is no better time than right now with more and more people trying to make conscious choices and moving towards slow and sustainable fashion.

The demand for more thrift stores is only going to increase. So join in on the revolution, help get back to the environment by picking up products that can be reused instead of letting them rot in landfills all over the world. QPe is here to support you through this journey by providing you with an easy to use platform to start your own online store. Within 20 Seconds.

How to start dropshipping in India. Is it legal?

How to do it and what tools to use, and of course, how to run a successful dropshipping business in India.

                                   What is drop shipping?

You must have heard all those fancy definitions of dropshipping on the internet already. Let’s learn by example, here in traditional selling, there are manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and customers. Dropshipping is a new method of online selling where you can cut out unnecessary middlemen and sell directly to your customers. Thereby increasing your profit margin and shortening the purchase length.

Let’s suppose you are a drop shipper. What you essentially do is find some good products to sell from reliable suppliers. Then create an online store on QPe, let’s say, and advertise your store directly to your customers. Through marketing channels like Facebook and Google.

When a customer places an order with you only then do you order those products from a manufacturer or a supplier? Now let’s say you have done your research and know a particularly good product that is available for Rs 100 from the manufacturer or wholesaler.

So,you list it with a marked price of your choice. Let’s say a Rs150 or Rs200 or even Rs500 on your QPe store.

You market it through social media and someone buys the product from your online store. Now you place the order directly to your supplier and they directly ship the products to the customer. Your only job here is to find products, list them on your QPe store, advertise it, wait for the customers to order and transfer the same order to your suppliers. You get to keep Rs50 or Rs100 or even Rs400, depending on the market of price.

And you make the whole profit to yourself. This business model is so popular because you don’t have to bother with the things that require the biggest investment as in a usual business, which is product procurement, storage, or even shipping for that matter, you do not get involved in the process of manufacturing, buying, storing, or even shipping at all.

All you have to do is find a good product or products and create a reliable online store and a brand and loyal customer base through marketing.

That’s all, your relationship with your customers is extremely important. However, because you are the one taking care of customer service, you are the point of contact for the customers and they rely on you to get their orders to them. This is essentially what drop shipping is and how you can make money from it. Simple. Isn’t it.

                        How is drop shipping done in India?

In India, as in anywhere else in the world, dropshipping is done through online channels and eCommerce platforms, which facilitate online stores. All you have to do is decide your niche and product.

You need to decide what kind of products you want to sell and what your target customer group is. This is extremely important because everything that you do next is based on this.

The next thing to do is to find out where you can source your product from.

It can be a website or local markets, or your known local business person, or just about anyone and anywhere you have contact with now set up an online store.

Let’s say with QPe and list the products with a marked price. That is if you’re getting the product for Rs100, add your profit plus shipping charges and list it on your store, on QPe.

And that’s it. You have your very own drop shipping store. Dropshipping is a low risk high toward business model and has many benefits for you in India.

You can carry a wider range of products in your store without having to actually bother with storage and shipping and other details. You can choose sellers whose products you want to showcase online, give them orders, ask. And when they come to you and do not care about much more than that.

               To start a drop shipping business in India, you have to:

Number one, set up an online store.

Number two, focus on your product listing.

Number three, find the right suppliers.

Number four, be active on social media and do marketing.

                         What are the benefits of doing drop shipping in India?

1- LOW INVESTMENT : As you don’t need to take care of storage and shipping costs or even rent or electricity or other personal costs. Your investments are extremely low or bare. Minimum.

2- HIGH REWARD : Whatever difference you keep between your supplier’s cost and the sale price is completely your profit.

3- NO LOGISTICS / SHIPPING : You do not need to think about how to store or where to store all the products you have or how to deliver them to your customers.

4- LITTLE / NO WORKFORCE : Depending on the scale of your business, you can run it all by yourself.

5- WIDER RANGE OF PRODUCTS : You can list way more products when you don’t need to take care of logistics. And of course, a wider area of shipping.

6- FLEXIBILITY OF PRODUCTS : This is one of the most attractive features of drop shipping. You can change your collection whenever you want. You can add seasonal goods, festival products, basically anything that is in demand at the moment, because you do not need to store any of these products yourself.

7- FASTER EXPANSION OF BUSINESS : Combine. All the advantages mentioned earlier, and you know why you can expand your business quickly.

Now, not everything is great.

There are some issues you need to know when doing drop shipping in India.

1- The main issue in India, dropshipping is at Aliexpress.The biggest supplier of goods to dropshipping business has been banned in India. The solution to this is that you can now source your products locally from India like that lesser known Crossman from your village or that local manufacturing unit in your city. India has so many manufacturing units, perhaps it’s time to make use of them rather than rely on China or other countries.

2- Returned. This is one of the most common problems Indians face with online products. If buyers don’t like the product or find some fault with your product and want to return it, you have to handle it. Make sure you have a good return policy. And the customers are aware of loss of payment on cash and delivery.

3- Loss of payment on cash and delivery. This is another problem which is faced by engaged sellers. People buy products online with the option of cash and delivery, but refuse to pay when the goods arrive, to make sure there are other modes of payment other than cash and delivery. QPe can help you with it.

4- Delivery time. When you are not in charge of shipping, you have zero control over the shipping timelines. If the product delivery is delayed, the customer’s question, you make sure your supplier handles shipping professionally.

5- Fraudulent suppliers. You might come across many fraudulent suppliers who send you faulty products or do not send you any products at all after they receive payment. So,work with good suppliers.

6- Damaged Products. There is a possibility that customers might receive damaged goods with manufacturing defects, or damage that occurred while transporting them have an arrangement with your supplier. So, such incidents are avoided.

        How can QPe help you in setting up a dropshipping store?

You can easily join the platform and start listing the products, sell those on social media and earn a fat commission. You don’t have to think or worry about shipping at all. It’s on QPe to ship your products in no time with QPe delivery partners or by self.

It’s based on the Indian market and you will have no problem with shipping anywhere in India.

Isn't it frustrating to see customers exit your online store without buying anything after you put all that effort into getting them there? Well, part of the reason for this can be a poorly made product catalogue.

Product catalogs are the answer to how I showcase my products to my customers. It holds all the important information about your products that help buyers make a decision to purchase like product price, image, description, and availability. You must be thinking why an effective catalogue is important for that.

Let's take an example of a mall and a local shop. Do you see the difference it makes when products are clearly displayed in a categorized manner versus when they are casually strewn about, and you have to ask the shopkeeper every time for prices. This is similar between a brick and mortar store and an online store. And how do you turn your online store display into a mall-like display with an awesome online product catalogue.

Today I'm gonna tell you about how to create an effective catalogue that makes it easy for customers to go through your products and buy them.We will talk about how to present your products in such a manner that once a customer enters your store, they don't leave without buying.

So,the goal here is to make it easy and convenient for you and your customers to sort through your products and services for these catalogs can be divided into categories, which in turn, hold your individual products.

For example, Amazon has a separate category for different products. And even with its huge inventory, you can still easily find anything that you're looking for because of this categorization. Similarly in your online store, categorization makes it easier for your customers to browse through your products and buy them.

           Let's see what goes on in an online stores catalogue

First of all, as mentioned earlier, your catalogue needs to be divided into proper categories that clearly separate different products into needs. Little clubs. You can also make subcategories if that helps, but it's not necessary for most products.Then we get into the individual products and their details.

First detail: Obviously is the PRODUCT NAME, a clear, concise,name for your product will help customers identify what exactly it is that you're showcasing.This is the first thing that customers see when they go through your store's catalogue. Make sure you write a clear, specific name for your product that your customers identify or the name that product has been given by its brand.

Second detail: This is the most important thing, Your PRODUCT IMAGES.

Your images are very, very important. They tell your customers things that words aren't enough to explain. It's so important that most customers base their purchase decisions on the quality of your product images.You see your images can make or break the sale off your product. But don't worry.

You can easily improve your product images from home to increase your sales.

We have discussed it in our blog of product photography.

Check this out….

Third Detail: It is mostly overlooked by sellers, but never by buyers.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.This is the part where you get to converse with your customers to convince them about your products. 

This description creates a connection between the seller and the customer. It says everything about the product that the customer wants to hear and convinces the customer to buy, take that opportunity, to highlight the best parts of your products, spin a story and show why your customers should buy from you with a good product description. 

Writing product descriptions is something that you should take seriously, work on little and make the most of to connect with your customers.

Fourth Detail:  PRODUCT PRICE.Price is always a giant factor that buyers consider when they browse for products, especially in India, right?

Make sure your catalogue has your product prices front and center. If the prices are not shown clearly customers don't click on. Even those products that they like and are willing to buy. It would suck if you lost a customer to this, always make it properly visible. If you show a discounted price, make sure that the original price is right next to it crossed out.This little trick makes a whole lot of difference.

                                   Here's a little tip for you.          

Make sure you show your customers whether a product is available at the moment or not. They shouldn't go all the trouble to get to the checkout page and then find out that something isn't available because then they might abandon their whole cart over the product. So product images, name, pricing, and description are the main components of a catalogue that should be appropriately highlighted in it, no matter what the product is, but there are other things that you should include like specifications pertaining to the category. Some of these are size colors, technical details, material etc.

For example, if you have a clothing store, you will need to mention the different colors, sizes, and materials that your products are available in. 

Or if you have an electronic store, you will need to mention the product size, technical details, storage requirements, and other such details as well.

I hope this blog helped you get started with your catalogue today.

Today, I want to walk you guys through some easy, practical steps that you can follow, even from the comfort of your home to achieve good results and increase the credibility of your online store.

You see the photos on your store are the only way for your customers to get a look and feel of the product before they make a purchase. These pictures create that first impression and attract the user to buy from you.

And the first impression is always the best impression, right? Sometimes pictures are even more important than the price for some buyers.

So,we can’t stress enough on the importance of product photography, adding good quality, high resolution solutions. Photos of the products on your store increases the credibility of your store and thus the chances of a customer buying from you.

Now, before we move on to the ideas for clicking product pictures, let’s have a look at the arsenal you need, and for the different types of product photographs, firstly, you need a camera obviously to click pictures could be a DSLR or a mobile phone, according to your convenience.

After that lenses, there’s a ton of them, but don’t worry. You can easily get by with a couple of lenses,at max like zoom or macro lens or a wide Telephoto one.

You also need a tripod. Why? Because the last thing you want is to have blurry, shaky, unclear images. That’s an instant bummer. It’s always best to Mount the camera on a tripod or some steady support to avoid.

This is last, but not the least. You will need lights that could be natural or artificial depending on the type of shot you are going for. For most cases, a simple LED light panel or a ring light.

Now we can discuss the type of shots.

1- Studio Shot : This is the most common type of product photo.

When you think of product photos, you can try different background colors just to see that the colors compliments your product properly.

For a studio shot you need the basic plane background, a camera, and proper lighting.

And that’s all…..

2- Lifestyle Shot : This kind of picture shows your customers how their life would look if they had this product.

Like in this picture, your customers will see that with the advertised product, their life will be so serene, calm and clean. This type of picture. You might need some extra elements or props to create a proper setting for the shoot. You can add other items from your store to this setting as well.

3- Detailed Shot : This kind of image brings out the details of your product. Like here, you can practically count the number of little diamonds on the ring. Now for these types of pictures, you will need a zoom or a macro lens and great light.

                A natural window light might not cut it for this shot.

4- Scale Shot : This showcases the true size and shape of the product. The shot also needs some other elements so that the viewer can compare, relate and gauge the true size of your product.

If you don’t have anything to compare the sizes with, just hold the product in your hand and click.

5- Group Shot : Like when, when you want to show the different colors or sizes of the t-shirts you have, or the different blades on a razor for this kind of shot, you will need proper light so that all the products in the group are clearly visible.

6- Process Shot : It shows the process of the product being made. You can use this to show off your handmade goods and tell them about all that goes into making their favorite products.

You can use one or all of these shots for your products.

How to Write Product Description That Sells

How to write product descriptions that will generate more sales for you.

So you’ve done everything from setting up your online store to adding products, but are still not getting the deciding number of orders. Don’t worry. We’ll fix it today. We’ll show you how to write great product descriptions that sell.

First things First.

What is a product description?

A product description is basically everything you would tell your customers about your products. If they were to come to your physical store and convince them to buy your product, it is what will make them like and buy your product. Writing a good product description for the products in your online store is more important that it can possibly be put in words.

A good product description comprises the following Eight points.

1- Your product description should include a great copy, which is a perfect balance between being SEO optimized and quirky to grab your customer’s attention.

For example, instead of writing just black t-shirt, you could write black cotton t-shirt made with super soft cotton threads. That’s comfortable for every skin type. You see the difference don’t you. So when you add more details to your product description, it adds more value and therefore is more appealing to your customers. Quick point to note here, think from the buyers perspective and make your products appear different from what other stores or websites might put it.

2- Number two is images, images, help your customers see and visualize the product in their hands. This is the closest your customers will get to watching or holding the product. So it is an essential part of your product description. Make sure you have different angles of your product and make sure you have a clean background with the product. Highlighting also makes sure that the pictures are high resolution and not blurred.

3- Videos, sometimes images don’t do justice to your product, and that’s where videos can help. Videos are a great tool to show your product in use and show videos of how the product will be in use. If the customer would buy it possibly from a 360 degree perspective, of course it cannot replace your customers feeling and seeing them in real life, but videos will give a very close experience. So,go for it, but make sure that you shoot high resolution videos with clarity, focus and proper highlight.

These days, you can shoot your videos with mobile phones, but make sure you shoot them without any shakes or blur.

4- User generated content. User generated content is any content that has been submitted by users of the product. However, it is different from user reviews.

5- Review another credible source of information about your product is customer reviews.

Don’t forget to add customer reviews to your product description because seeing actual reviews from real users gives potential buyers the confidence they need to buy your product.

6- Plan. Now, when you plan, you should research your ideal target audience. You should know everything about the product, your audience and everything about competitors’ descriptions as well. Then set your goal. This means that you should decide the tone, the length, intent, and other such details of your product description.

7- You should decide on the right language, on the basis of your goals, mention all the features and benefits of your product and add descriptive words where necessary. You should add images and create a story around the product. If possible, when you’re writing something else that you should focus on is including the right amount of keywords, too little or too many, both damage. The quality of your description. We obviously don’t want that.

Let the descriptions be authentic and genuine. Just like how you would talk to a customer when he enters your shop. You can also include customer reviews for validation.

8- Final step is to revise and perfect your product. Description most people forget about their descriptions. Once they have written them and their product details become obsolete.

After a while, don’t make this mistake and you’re golden.

Remember a good product description is not too long or too short, but it has the right details that encourages the customer to know more and want to buy the product.

Go ahead and check out other pages and product descriptions on your online store and fix them today. I’m sure that they will have a positive impact on your sales soon.

So you have your store ready and are waiting for customers. You also tried some marketing, but sales are not that great. What do we do now?

I'll give you five tips to get more sales from your existing customers or visitors to your store.

Before I jump in, let me tell you something. This whole exercise that we are going to do of converting visitors to customers is technically called conversion rate optimization in marketing terms. Don't worry. It's a very simple process. Just putting it out there so that, you know, so let's jump in.

First tip: Use high quality product images. When I say this to store owners on QPe the usual replies, Hey, I'm using high quality images. What's wrong with it? But when I check the

Store,some owners use low quality & blur images.

Images make a big impact. Visually try to add images that match the following Criteria:

1- Have a white background and highlight the product.

2- Position the product properly in the frame that is the product should be fully seen.

3- Images should not be blurry when you click photos on a mobile phone. Usually there is a little bit of blur because your hands are shaking. Try to take photos with a DSLR camera or with a tripod.

4-Show different angles of your product.

So,keep experimenting with different product pictures and stick to the one that everybody likes. We've seen that good product images are the first thing people notice about your store when they visit. So make them not good, but great so that they check it out and lead or more sales.

Second Tip: Offers free shipping. Everybody loves free shipping, right? Giving free shipping to customers will give them one more chance to consider buying from you. According to a recent study by accent, 88% of consumers would be more likely to shop at an online site. If they were promised free shipping. If you can't do free shipping on all of your items, at least give free shipping on orders over a certain amount.

On QPe you can set up free shipping over a certain amount of purchase. Go to your shipping option in QPe and set it up easily.

Third Tip: Create an urgency or scarcity for your products. Let me ask you a question. You found a good, great deal on an exclusive pair of shirt or kurtis from a brand you love. And there the deal is only available today and expires in six hours, let's say, will you be inclined to buy the product or not? Of course, you'll be interested to buy right at QPe. We give our customers an option for changing availability of the product & stock management.

Fourth Tip: Implement Live chat. Let's be honest. How many times have you wished there was a Live chat with us on the website that you were shopping from?

Every time you have a question or a doubt, nobody's there to answer and you close the window, which is why on QPe we have implemented Live chat options.

You can integrate with QPe. So,visitors who come  to your store who have questions or doubts can ask you those questions on live chat itself so that they get to purchasing the product faster.

Fifth Tip: The final step to increase conversions and sales on your store is to use the killer feature of banners on your site. It could be a message, a promotion, a button, anything you can customise through the QPe Merchant dashboard.

It's a great way to get the attention of your store visitors and prompt them to take an action, which obviously is to make a purchase, install it today and see the difference.

So,there you have it guys, five simple tips, yet effective ways to get more sales from your store by converting more visitors to customers.

This way you can encourage customers to buy more repeatedly from your store.

3- Create a customer's only private social media group: One way to encourage better relationships with your customers is to create an exclusive group with them where you share more than what you do publicly.

1- Find your niche, Chinese, Indian, Fast food, tacos, cakes, whatever your calling is.

Find that specific food category that you are interested in. Don't go for what is popular, but what is unique that you can offer so that when you launch in the market, people find your food new and interesting research well, and find out what are the food types that are in demand in your area, which are the hotels that are doing well?  Which are the ones that aren't doing well? So, you can learn from their mistakes. Maybe the specialty food you are planning to make is already there.

2- Find your target audience, who are you trying to sell to? This is very important to find out. Many people think that they can sell to anyone. Well, you can, but just that you don't have the clarity on who your ideal audience is. If you have clarity on who your ideal target audience is, all your efforts can be focused on them.

This is the major difference between selling offline and online. When you're starting an online food business, you need to know whom you are selling to so that you can just focus on their tastes.

Let's say, for example, office workers who want their lunch delivered at the office. That is a nice target audience. So if you have such clarity, all your marketing efforts can be optimized to them. And this will give you a lot of advantage over your competitors who might be targeting everybody in today's market. Having this kind of clarity is super important.

3- Getting your food license depending on which state you are in. You would need different kinds of license to operate your online food business in India, the FSSAI license, food trade license, and GST registration is a must.

4- Your logistics, where is your servicing area? And how can you deliver food? Once orders are taken online, there are different solutions to this. One is you can handle the deliveries yourself. If you have the right stuff, another is you can use a third party service like Dunzo or Shiprocket for local deliveries. QPe has these apps integrated with the app already.

So,it's easy to do it. You could also try local delivery services, whichever is your best option. Choose it and stick to it.
