Slow times with the economy will allow you to clean up your site and add more options for your business. Alot of business sales have been down during the past few months. One guy had told me, he was going to make some good changes to his online store. I asked him, like what? He said, he was going to re-design the store front, banner, pictures, text and find more products to add. He did mention that since times are slow, why not allow the customers to make payment using their business checks to make the purchase on the site.
I thought about that, and yes thats a good idea, but you’ll have to wait for the funds to clear first before the order will be shipped. As another recommendation, I had advised him to add new products that customers will be needing, not wanting to make more profit. Great idea. Another idea i had is IF the customer was a repeat, offer a NET 30, and they can use their quickbooks business checks or peachtree checks to make the payment to me via regular mail. That way, when you deposit it, it will go through quicker vs waiting 7 days.
