F-Commerce is more popular as compared to the leading storefront providers, <a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/blog/ebay-store/starting-your-own-ebay-business" target="_blank">eBay Stores</a> and Amazon Web store. Facebook is also an important part of social media optimization and marketing. It uses FBML language for designing and developing a store of your choice in Facebook. There are many Facebook applications for ecommerce available online that can be installed to get more engagements directly from your store using your Facebook friends.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nearly 700 millions of people in <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ydeveloper/122824857743132" target="_blank">Facebook</a> itself and if you want your facebook store to be noticed, you should come up with a nice looking store design to Facebook.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />After all having all such benefits, Can anyone miss the chance to have their own F-commerce store? Not at all! But, the fact is that it’s failed. Next couple of paragraph will give you some more idea on Facebook.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://customized-ecommerce.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-f-commerce-failed.html" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Facebook Store" border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCiF0hVJ3qCfCbli5_eWLhm_ywSayqBxa2YwzL5dNJlVHIzDxiDz7viYWwUPK3sjQsRnBH7I1L4Q3daa3t_EuH8xKqAYT7NKKIMgRT_PA6ZinrmWC0PBW8h86BZilPr3X6q4W1ByCpk_U/s320/facebook+store.jpg" title="Facebook Store" width="320" /></a></div>Forced to give up their f-shops failing to have been able to generate the expected results, great names in US e-commerce industry have recently clashed with the vagaries of the new social wave that affects the online business. According to reports from Bloomberg, the first generation of signs to have tested the online shops directly incorporated with their fan pages have suffered a total flop.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A situation which, despite being the result of a first attempt, called <a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/social-media-optimization.html" target="_blank">social media analysts</a> and consultants to review their forecasts regarding the future of f-commerce, and of course the failure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This suggests that the difficulty to hang the network members have been mainly related to the approach used. Indeed, doing business on a social network, here in this case Facebook does is to reproduce the experiment as is proposed on its website. The social-commerce is not limited either to integrate its catalog to its fan page, that is to resolve to introduce a commercial approach within a social network, but to reflect on the real value added that contact point could be made.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">An ill-conceived adaptation, due to a lack of experience and perspective in certain would be the cause of this essay almost stillborn for retailers concerned.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Especially, as Facebook has not really a gift for inspiring confidence with all the problems it generates about privacy of personal data. Not to mention the interface so far is not necessarily appropriate (banners, small space, time of relatively slow loading pages, etc.).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To date, the network seems especially appropriate as a medium for sales support, to talk about their products and benefit from the experiences of consumers.</div></div><br /><b>Latest trend on "Facebook commerce" and "Facebook Store",</b><br /><br /><iframe frameborder="0" height="250" scrolling="no" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/trends_gadget.xml&source=imag&up_is_init=true&up_cur_term=facebook+commerce,+facebook+store&up_date=mtd&up_region=US" style="border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;" width="330"></iframe></div><br /><b>You can RT (Re-tweet) here,</b><br /><blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center"><p>Why f-commerce failed?

Not all platforms have same features, functionality and tools, particularly when you are using Yahoo Store, eBay Store, Amazon Web-store or other storefronts. The activities on your store depend on what you are selling online. Sometime you believe ecommerce storefronts are <a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/e-smart-ecommerce-suite.html" target="_blank">best ecommerce solution</a>, but on the other hand they have some limited features. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Let’s take an example of ecommerce shopping cart – it generally provides the details of product pricing, tax, shipping, and the payment gateways. What else people are looking for? Cross selling is a feature that offers a list of related products that suggest your prospective buyers to look at other products from same store and have almost same criteria.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b>Cross Selling - See the section below "Other items you might want to order":</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a alt="Cross Selling in Ecommerce" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbEvrxrPt3Z8tXWu8E3bgYnETccVnfCW2Mp2-GngnAS2qN7qmGrWXTIV64oBzS5GQ3XwmfHxcHw_50XohEIEtIHMWatgWp0c-FC3YriN8wuPZZNMqwxw0LUs5xzWPKS9NDbwv1YXhjJY/s1600/cross-selling-ecommerce-features.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Cross Selling in Ecommerce"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbEvrxrPt3Z8tXWu8E3bgYnETccVnfCW2Mp2-GngnAS2qN7qmGrWXTIV64oBzS5GQ3XwmfHxcHw_50XohEIEtIHMWatgWp0c-FC3YriN8wuPZZNMqwxw0LUs5xzWPKS9NDbwv1YXhjJY/s1600/cross-selling-ecommerce-features.PNG" /></a></div>This is an example of how you can customize your existing shopping cart to offer it something more. Inventory and order management are other areas that can be also effectively designed to provide more efficiency.

To do this, I go for search into the Google.com using Firefox web browser. Search box of Google was waiting for me to put a query. Therefore, I entered “top ten ecommerce blogs” and click to search for a result; I was surprised with the results I found. Can someone guess why I was surprised? <br />No? Not?<br /><br />Surprisingly, my <b><a href="http://customized-ecommerce.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog on ecommerce</a></b> was on 4th place. I did same process again to find list of top ten ecommerce blogs; there was no change in the search results. When I tried Google.com using Google Chrome for a same search query, I did not found my blog in the first 10 results whereas it was found on 4th when I used Firefox. This difference confused me a lot. It might be an issue with web browsers. So, I cleared cookies for a while in both of the web browsers and I did same process again in Firefox and chrome. This time, I could not find my blog in first ten results and both browsers had same results on “top ten ecommerce blogs”.<br /><br />Do you know why? I find, logged into Google account was the main reason of this difference, which I had never noticed before and automatically logged out after clearing the Firefox cookies.<br /><br />Now, the question is why this difference was there. Why a logged in user can’t see a normal Google search results?<br /><br />The answer is the effect of personalized search / social search / search plus your world (SPYW)! These results are based on what you and the people in your circles have shared, commented and +1’d in Google+ stream.<br /><br />Here, I can see my blog on 4th place, which was originally posted in Google+ stream of <a href="https://plus.google.com/110128999574570943101" target="_blank"><b>Ecommerce Blog</b></a> and I shared it on <a href="https://plus.google.com/100594119255929682766" target="_blank"><b>Ydeveloper</b></a>’s Google+ stream. Please take a note; I was logged in with Ydeveloper’s Google+ account while searching for a “top ten ecommerce blogs”.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmUFvDc-lcxlin3mJkrNBN_enxUkwPl2NWaYnnQUwq0Bg2iz_8YSoUwpEaTdyrM-O0Vd3vbdRay3KbTL0xo_q-wyqGHSTc_-k5acqP_V7xC0iUzkigTnOQdvzSxdpJiHaKNGRXPhRZX-0/s1600/google-stream-ecommerce-blog.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

In terms of design, each has different looks and style. Ecommerce site is a catalog of products offering by an online merchant or a retailer, which includes the option of paying online via various payment gateways. This is why it requires some more efforts to design an Ecommerce website.<br /><br /><b><i>Here are some tips to create an attractive, useful and more productive ecommerce site,</i></b><br /><br /><b><i> </i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMCKkt2hyphenhyphenOZ7_W8vpmwwOwSPnzasxc4c_e5FmMtwD4k4-4rPQsb6Do9xHubwaFCAR0Ng4rn_KZvnq2rwbmhGv1hXCUG4Na1nNgPyyGgVIaIyEfQ0qCNXE5Z1bIabzvddUMdjmSOcYxWk/s1600/ecommerce+design+tips.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMCKkt2hyphenhyphenOZ7_W8vpmwwOwSPnzasxc4c_e5FmMtwD4k4-4rPQsb6Do9xHubwaFCAR0Ng4rn_KZvnq2rwbmhGv1hXCUG4Na1nNgPyyGgVIaIyEfQ0qCNXE5Z1bIabzvddUMdjmSOcYxWk/s1600/ecommerce+design+tips.PNG" /></a><b>Unique Product line:</b><br />Obviously, if you want to create an <a href="http://pinterest.com/yeveloper/ecommerce/" target="_blank" title="Best place to find Helpful resources on E-commerce!">ecommerce</a> website means that you want to sell something online. Therefore, before starting with the site, you must choose the product you are selling. The design and layout of your site depends on the product or service you sell. Usually, there are many products for sale through e-commerce. However, you should choose a particular product to sell so that your site could well know for a single product market and attract more customers through your site Web.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Qualified Model:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can get many <a href="http://customized-ecommerce.blogspot.com/2011/09/five-tips-to-rock-your-e-commerce.html" target="_blank">models for building an ecommerce website</a> over the Internet free of charge. However, be careful while choosing models for developing an ecommerce site. The template you choose should be in line with the product or services you are offering. If you sell formal wear and using a model for funky wear, then it is not in the line with the product you are selling. Never use heavy graphics and images that are otherwise negative aspect of your site, as large images take longer to load.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Flexible Shopping Cart Software:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cart is part of your ecommerce site that contains the record of each order placed by customer. Whatever your customer will purchase, the list of items with the total amount and tax will be calculated by the shopping cart. Thus, it should be visible on every page of your ecommerce website. It becomes more convenient to shop online with the help of your cart.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Secured and Easy Payment Process:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If your site looks very attractive with eye catching banners and product images but, you do not have a reliable and easy payment processing and gateways, your site will be overlooked and may be considered unproductive. It has been recommended to use different payment gateways on your ecommerce site like Visa, PayPal etc.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Monitoring:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is also an important factor for the success of your ecommerce site. You should know all the time on the responses and reviews of customers on your products and services including the comments and suggestion given by the customer in part of website or blog. Based on suggestion, you can improve your site and maintain it to give your site more attractive and unique look.</div></div>Justinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01230103344444491213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076619677961129320.post-10868512790704368842012-02-03T04:45:00.000-08:002012-04-16T23:22:41.003-07:00Which method is best for Ecommerce Marketing?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">Want to know what works today to get more audience for your <a href="http://pinterest.com/yeveloper/ecommerce/" target="_blank" title="Pinterest - Best place to find Helpful resources on E-commerce!">ecommerce</a> store?

To get more traffic, conversion and better ROI, I have determined five areas that need to be focused. We should not forget about the ranking factors for search engines, which depend on these five areas mostly that we are going to talk about lately in this post. A little improvement can give your website more visibility for search engine as well as human. Some factors have no impact on search engines, e.g. <b>Google looking ecommerce websites</b>. Only human can decide that the <b>ecommerce site</b> they are viewing is really looking good or not. Not now but in the future search engines might be able to do this.<br /><br />No matter which <a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/ecommerce-development.html" style="color: blue;" title="Find more ecommerce platforms here">platforms for ecommerce development</a> you used in back ends, ASP.net, PHP, Yahoo Stores, eBay Store, etc. the tips for ecommerce website design shared here are common for each, so consult and make sure from your ecommerce developers if they did not focus highly on these areas.<br /><br />Finally, the <a href="http://customized-ecommerce.blogspot.com/2011/03/follow-simple-steps-to-make-your.html" style="color: blue;">secrets to successful ecommerce</a> are going to be revealed here. It defines that your <b>e-commerce website</b> should be…</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>Good looking </li><li>Easy to understand</li><li>Easy to navigate</li><li>Easy to accessible</li><li>Easy to use</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Good looking:</b><br />As discussed, this factor has the higher impact on Human and almost no impact to the search engine. Good-looking ecommerce website means to have a clear background, especially in white, nice font that encourages you to read further, clear image with perfect placement, icons for social media, payment gateways, security, awards, etc. should be eye-catching.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/asp-store-designer-apparel.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Good looking ecommerce websites portfolio"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVGPrjhHpzRle9_VnBZFLc8Z5d0zrw3t5cTNvShFfmS4HKBKaZxtr7mXGSedw380enCBHxUVuCN7wfnPgarTcBEAu2JcidCwK2d5v_Erh7Z3VbX4Rg7G15uT5oIw0RC1qnLR18vUXlc04/s400/good-looking-ecommerce.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Easy to understand:</b><br />It is specific to the content that is easily understood by human and follows the search engine guidelines as the density and proximity of keywords used in content should be proper. It is a human tendency that they like to read less and within that timeline, it should be converted into the goals. Other things like, it should be easy to understand by all ages, whether your audiences are teenagers, younger’s or senior citizens.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/yahoo-store-moda-queen.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Easy to understand ecommerce websites portfolio"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZedFJYrNIbBATBLaz16J_x8FnekwWE_6CjYAUnJ0Y2lh-Tpb_EEtRZfUNomazD8nh72fVWCxI6WFaoPvkd4DdmmngTFrYjYtPUHQ2JVFm7g_Zr2n9Ew0S6ei-nFZV7fAysANYOFr7EI/s400/easy-to-understand-ecommerce.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Easy to navigate:</b><br />Navigation is a factor that has the huge impact to both Human and Search Engine. First, it should be placed exactly on the area that human usually go for when visiting to a particular website. For ecommerce website, find out all the possible filter attributes that relate to the products of the ecommerce stores. E.g. if your store sells branded male and female clothes, then you can offer the navigation or categorized using the filter like brand, gender, color, size, etc. Shoppers come to your site with specific product criteria, and navigation will provide them the way to reach easily to that specific location in your ecommerce store.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ydeveloper.com/yahoo-store-elighters.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Easy to navigate ecommerce websites portfolio"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjghWRVAfoPwU_GUX_9uT4_ioGQj_BnQlGbGzSncVyRPMhPgpYXDyREDyzMVLWodRpjlKTkMKsRG4hLSK98VgtVbavEm1YA_uX2kp_8MtdQqUNy9uOwQ0CCjREiiq_VVEk0sAasog_xxgk/s400/easy-to-navigate-ecommerce.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Easy to accessible:</b><br />Accessibility of the ecommerce website means the time it takes to open any page of your ecommerce site over the browser and the internet.
