OpenCart : Our Favorite New Shopping Cart

Written by Administrator

OpenCart

Once upon a time (and not quite long, long ago), internet retailers had one choice of free shopping cart technology:  osCommerce.  Today, more than 10 popular open source (free) shopping cart platforms exist.  In our view, OpenCart beats them all hands down.

WHY OPENCART?

If you're relatively new to selling online, you may notice that retailing has become increasingly specialized.  There are fewer and fewer general broad-based brands like Buy.com, and mountains of niche-market ones like Zappos and Newegg.  In fact, if you're still in the planning/expansion stages of e-tailing, the consumer electronics "niche" presence of Newegg can be quite intimidating.  That's why OpenCart has such an attractive appeal because it makes excellent use of multi-store, multi-domain technology.  Instead of hoping that Google generously positions your website at the top of your organic keywords like consumer electronics, you'll have an easier time if your entire site is devoted to a specifically narrow set of products.   For example, promoting your XYZelectronics brand of merchandise while competing with 1.5 BILLION (yes, billion) Google results for the keyword electronics is going to require an amazingly aggressive SEO campaign.   Compare this marketing strategy to developing a brand called XYZcameralenses while competing with 20 million Google search results for the keywords camera lenses.

OpenCart blows away every other free shopping cart when it comes down to multi-store retailer campaigns.  Although Magento Commerce does a decent job of incorporating multiple storefront domains in one account, it's not quite practical for e-tailers wanting an arsenal of 10+ website brands.  OpenCart also does a better job of handling a large database of product SKUs compared to other platforms. 

HOW TO GET STARTED

DSDI will soon offer unlimited web hosting space for just $10 bucks in the next few weeks.   You'll need to find a good web host provider if you don't already have one, but in the meantime, now is as good a time as any to begin researching the OpenCart technology.  Admittedly, our own DropshipDirect.com Wholesale Warehouse system is powered by good ol' osCommerce, but we'd never recommend using osC for a completely new retail campaign when you have solutions like OpenCart, PrestaShop, and Magento Commerce today.

Fastest Moving 4th Quarter Merchandise

Written by Administrator

With so many products competing for retail space within the online marketplace, it's difficult to know which inventory sells best.  Very few websites provide insight for product selling seasons.

Your retail operation needs every advantage it can get to pin down targeted promotions and maximized online sales.  That being said, your friends at DropshipDirect.com are happy to give you that edge.  We're breaking down what to sell and when to sell it for the final (4th) quarter of 2010:

Niche, Niche, and more Niche

Good luck competing to sell that iPod.  According to a recent Google search, typing in the phrase "iPod for sale" yielded more than 57 million results.  To better express that number, let's extend all those zeros:  57,000,000.  Yes, that's a pretty big number no matter how you look at it.  Now, try to imagine getting your piece of the iPod sales volume simply through organic search engine results alone.

Instead of   Apple iPod we suggest Ghillie Suits

Why?  For starters, there's alot more profit to be made in the world of camouflage ghillie suits.  Ghillie suit sales typically boast more than 50-100% profit margins.  Secondly, there is a long-term, reliable consumer demographic for ghillie suits.  Although we won't pretend to compare camo gear popularity to the ferocious global demand for Apple iPods, there are four very stable markets always looking for ghillie suits:  hunters, law enforcement, military, and paintball. 

Finally, let's perform a Google search for the phrase "ghillie suits" just for kicks.  What do we get?  Just over 121,000 results.   Those zeros don't look quite so intimidating to your sales, do they?

DropshipDirect.com will be featuring more fast moving 4th quarter merchandise soon.  Stay tuned!
