Open For Business - 24/7
An e-commerce website means your business is 'open for business' 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Sell online
E-commerce, the transaction of business on the Internet, usually consists of an online shop selling products with credit card payment facilities. Online sales presents a huge opportunity for businesses to increase profitability through expansion into new markets they may otherwise have been unable to access. Athernet can set up an e-commerce system to allow you to sell your products and services through your website. This has the advantage of opening up an immense marketplace at a fraction of the cost of setting up a traditional 'bricks & mortar' shop. Your business can also benefit from improved cash flow by using an online invoice discounting system.
Credit card payment means business
Accepting credit card payments online allows your business to benefit from impulse buying - transactions clear automatically and the money goes into your bank directly.
Turn your promotions into sales ...
The best way to profit from your website (and from any other promotion) is by making it as easy as possible for your customers to buy your products and services. Include your Athernet e-commerce website address in all of your promotional material, advertisements and even business cards to turn contacts into sales.
... and build loyalty and repeat business
Whether you're selling tins of beans, computer parts or attendance at your latest seminar, an Athernet e-commerce system allows you to gain repeat business by ensuring your online shop is easy and quick to use.
Build your client database online
Integrating a data capture form into your Athernet website allows you to build up a database of potential customers. This can be used to send marketing information through mail shots or online opt-in* email marketing campaigns.
