Reply to: RE: UKNM Digest V1 #538
Hi on Friday
I was interested to read Ian's postmortem account, but I disagree on some
fundamentals.
Surely it's easy to get people to buy anything from your site once - you
just use somebody else's money to subsidise the selling price to a level
the punters cannot ignore (sic).
The trick is to get them to come back and buy regularly, while being able
to sustain your business model; that means offering a balance of price,
choice - or range - and service.
So fulfilment becomes the key to ensuring customer return (to the site)
levels; can you deliver what they want, when they want, every time?
It's here that the offline expertise of traditional logistics companies
needs to be harnessed, not as a bolt-on, but as an integral part to the
whole e-solution. How can a dot.com start up expect to create the
infrastructure necessary to achieve satisfactory fulfilment levels from a
standing
start?

p.s. on banner ads, get a pro to design them; what do yacht people know
about banner design?
