Good Company huh!
Here are some tips to increase sales and promote them
# You can do online advertising!. The online advertising is very good than tv or magazine advertising. It covers all over the world and most of all it is cheap too.
But don’t just go to any site for advertising.
The google is one of the trusted company. Try google adsense www.adsense.com . You will have to deposit certain amount then when a user views ur website or buys a good then only the money will decrease nor it will remain still.
# The next is advertise on forums discussions! There are many forum addictors and many peoples visit it. Join a forum and start advertising of your goods.
# Do search engine optimization : When a user searches something in a website, if your website comes first the certainly he will go to it and have a look. So make your best keywords for your website with good description to attract peoples.
Thats all what i got in my mind now
best wishes
bye c ya

Daniel asks…
Is there an all-in-one web hosting, ecommerce, email marketing w/ metrics plus CMS solution?
Must meet ALL criteria, built-in. Need WYSISYG editor and/or user-friendly, non-coding content development and management. It’s for small business so price is a consideration.
Also to not be restricted to template use is a huge plus.

Administrator answers:
In a word, no, unless you consider a consultant a solution. You’re not going to create a business site worth having without coding it, and without knowing what you’re doing (how do you keep people from breaking into your site, maybe using SQL injection, and stealing your entire database – including all your customers’ credit card information – which will make you financially liable for any and all losses all of them suffer).
You’ll have to spend either money (to hire someone to do it) or time (to learn to do it yourself), or you’ll be spending money defending your business in court (and losing) and you won’t be getting much business because the site is designed all wrong, and you’re on page 35,000 on a Google search for what you sell.

Helen asks…
free php eCommerce NO DATABASE?
i need a free php eCommerce solution which does not require a database, with paypal intergration

Administrator answers:
How many products/categories etc will you have on the site and how will they be managed?
Why the requirement for no database?
If you are looking to have more than just a couple of products on the site or want the ability to manage the online products without any coding etc you will almost certainly need a database.
MySQL databases are available with almost any hosting/server that also has PHP, and using a database is far simpler and faster than any alternative. For this reason, I don’t believe you will find an eCommerce solution without requiring a database, unless you are looking to just code in a few static product pages with paypal links.

Ruth asks…
Flash for Ecommerce store?
I have a flash template that is geared more towards a portfolio-type site than an ecommerce store, but I am thinking of modifying it to suit my needs. However I am wondering what the pros/cons (speed, browser compatibility, etc) are to using an almost entirely flash template as an ecommerce solution? The site will have close to 800 products on it, approximately 1600 images, and is hosted on a linux server (if this helps).

Administrator answers:
Flash is not very search engine friendly if you are using it as a template for your entire site. Also, remember users tend to subconsciously ignore anything too flashy as it is reminiscent of advertising.

Lisa asks…
Can anyone recommend a “green” web hosting service/company? Can you use yahoo ecommerce with another host?
I’m starting a niche natural/eco-friendly ecommerce business and would like to use a green hosting company. I orginally was looking at using Yahoo’s Small Business ecommerce solution simply because it’s easy and everything is right “out of the box” plus it seems like a great way to get started with an ecommerce biz fairly easily. The only problem is their hosting isn’t ecofriendly or “green”. I would love to have a “green” web host since this goes along with my business and plus I don’t want to be wasting energy. So my question is really two fold, 1) CAN I use a green” hosting service while at the same time using Yahoo’s ecommerce solution 2) Which green hosting service is best?
