    Do you follow your competitors followers on twitter?

    No, I just wanted to follow some of their customers just to raise awareness more than anything. I'm not too fussed if they don't follow me back. I just didn't want to come across as spammy.

    Do you follow your competitors followers on twitter?

    So I've just started my business and I've signed up to twitter and slowly learning the ropes. At the moment I've only got two followers. My competitors have hundreds even thousands. Their followers are not aware of my presence yet but are all potential customers. Should I follow them or would...

    Psychological Pricing

    Just out of interest how do you guys price your goods? Do you use the classic decimal .99 or do you just leave at .00 I've seen conflicting reports on which method is best. Some say the classic .99 and other penny decimals psychologically trick the buyer into thinking that they're getting...

    Recorded or Special Delivery

    Is it worth paying extra for using special delivery? It seems you can actually track the parcel/mail opposed to recorded which can only track a signature. Also there's the guaranteed next day delivery. I called royal mail and enquired about their tracked service but was told I need to have...

    Home business - Insurance for stock

    As the title says, I'm starting a home business (ecommerce). I will have anywhere between £5,000 - £20,000 worth of stock (clothing). I've obviously already got home insurance but when I enquired with my insurance co, they said they don't do commercial insurance. My original plan was to...

    It's important to buy all similar domain names

    Trading standards would be the people to talk to as well then. From everything you've written, I can't see them having a leg to stand on. In theory you should get the domain back through nominets tribunal system without having to go to court. It's still advisable to talk to a lawyer...

    How do I obtain my competitors prices in the gift card processing market?

    :eek: Surely this can't be legal?? If this is true, it's another reason not to input your cost prices on your cart.

    It's important to buy all similar domain names

    Are they an identical company in terms of the services they're are offering/selling? If so and you have identical domains minus the letter "s", you'd stand a very big chance of winning. I know lawyers on here would advise against this but if they're identical to your business I'd send a...

    How do we show we have a trustworthy e-commerce website?

    Having a telephone number which is big and easily visible also assures the buyer you're actually in existence. At least they know they can physically speak to someone during office hours. Personally I don't like it when the only contact information is a standard e-mail message form and you've...

    What's used more, debit or credit card?

    It's funny because you always read conflicting arguments. I would've thought at a guess it would be similar to what deniser said as from personal experience I only use debit card 90% of the time. The only time I've used a credit card is when I'm making a one off big purchase (£1000 +) and want...

    It's important to buy all similar domain names

    I started a thread about this a while back : http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=205249 In the end I only ended up buying the .com and .co.uk of the actual name and filing for a trademark. The price of buying all the variations and in different endings (.com, .net)...

    What's used more, debit or credit card?

    I've managed to get various merchant account quotes for accepting money online. Obviously debit cards are a hell of a lot cheaper than credit cards to process. I'm trying to do some forecasting for card transactions. What I don't know is which medium is more popular for making purchases, thus...
