    What are common problems when launching a new ecommerce store?

    Indeed, the problem that you've stated is one to consider, but also, some e-commerce websites don't work because they don't have a good marketing campaign, and since we're talking e-commerce, marketing here refers to email marketing.

    Would you prefer expensive website design or low cost DIY?

    My opinion is that if you're going for a DIY with Wordpress, for example, you can use the rest of money for investing in media buys or any other form of marketing that could help bring traffic or leads. That involves email marketing as well and I think it's the better solution! All the best...

    Intro email to existing customers

    I think that splitting is a good idea because they need a different approach. Try to be friendly and very clear about what your new business.

    Promoting a new website

    I believe you can do less than 50K, really. First of all, campaigns in socal media are not that expensive and if you're looking to build an email list and start an email marketing campaign, that's very cost efficient and worth while. So it would be less, in my opinion. Best of luck!
