Things to be considered before starting the online business in UAE

  1. Purchase – First of all one has to find multiple suppliers and check the price each one is offering. The lower the price you manage to purchase the product the better is the price you can offer to your customers plus you can have a good profit margin.
  2. Storage/warehouse - The storage should be well planned. Proper inventory has to be maintained. As the first come should be first out. This result in quality product delivery with less damage.
  3. Website Designing – As the website is going to generate revenue, it must be updated and managed by professionals. Need to consider the cost for website designing. Easy to use and descriptive.
  4. Payment Gateway – A very crucial part of an online store. Your payment gateway should be easy-to-use.
  5. Staffing – Proper staffing is important as poor staffing may result in confusion and low quality service. As for all the industries good quality service is the key to success and for proper execution proper staffing has to be made as one or two cannot manage everything. The options are to hire in own company or outsourcing the services. For example – outsourcing delivery service or warehouse storage and inventory management.
  6. Delivery Vehicle – If planning to deliver by self-one has to invest on company vehicle. Mny platforms also outsource this.
  7. Packaging – To make sure the product is delivered in good condition to the end users it has to be packed well. Not only in terms of quality product. The product must also look attractive as attractive packaging helps in improving customer satisfaction.
  8. Marketing/Branding – Get professionals handle your online presence by search engine optimizing. Initially one can start with Social Media advertising, Google adverts, Print Media, Radio advertisements, Pamphlet Distribution, and loyalty programs.
  9. Follow-Ups – Keep a proper record of your client data base. Get in touch with your client in short intervals by sending promotional messages. Sending occasional greetings etc. This helps in staying live in the customers mind. So when they feel like buying something they will think of you and search for your website.
  10. Get testimonies and reviews from happy customers- For online business majority of people look for reviews and it gets popular by word of mouth. More the happy customers more fast this company will grow. So try to get good rating online and also try to display the video or written testimonies of your client with your product.
