    How do I get more views on Ebay?

    Shouldn't you look into other platforms? eBay isn't what it used to be. There's just many more seller, including those from China that offer at super low prices. And above that, eBay is less popular. Lots of visitors have moved to Amazon and niche platforms like Etsy.

    Prestashop OR Opencart ?

    A few years ago we've tested both prestashop and magento. Prestashop was pretty amazing and much easier to use than magento. However, we've decided to go with magento purely for the more powerful multistore/multilanguage features.

    Employing someone for social media..... Is it worth it?

    You shouldn't do social media for the purpose of getting higher ranking. Social media in itself can be pretty powerful, but it has to start with good content.

    Chinese eBay sellers with UK based stock

    Shipping prices from China to the UK are pretty competitive, so I believe the shipping cost is similar to UK internal shipping prices. However, it's the shipping speed (1-3 weeks) that's the main problem. The majority of customers don't want to wait that long.

    What is the best retail business to open in 2015?

    One that last also after 2015 ;) It's not only about the product you sell, but how you can add more value to it through additional services like offering advice, installation and or customization services. Otherwise, you aren't building any entry barriers, and once someone sees that you're...

    Google's 'Mobilegeddon' is here... Apparently.

    I think it's not a direct switch, also this change like previous google updates, will be slowly rolled out I guess.

    Facebook campaign

    Sometimes it's good to do competitions just because it's fun. Not every marketing activity has to result in direct sales. Especially when you just start up, it's good to get the word out. The other indirect benefit of competitions is that could results in incoming links, which can be good for...

    What products would you like to have customized for your business

    I think you are asking the most important question for our business. When you feel afraid of being scammed, it doesn't matter what the business tells you, you will always be reluctant to cooperate. I think for me the challenge is not telling the customer what protection I offer, but how I can...
