Hi Derek, That is a good sign! I increased my font size after my mother said it was a little hard to read. She did, however, find it easy to go through the ordering process which was a relief! It was also kind of funny as she wanted to click th...

Many apparel websites have customer reviews, with many customers taking the time to list their height, weight and/or size so you can tell whether the item is more likely to fit and I think the growth of these reviews have certainly helped peopl...

Great post, Danna! And what you sell on eBay it doesn't need to be physically broken either. I've sold shoes that became inexplicably smaller after a couple of wears. Business-wise, you may want to use eBay to shift gift vouchers with nearing e...

Great ideas, Carolyn! I've never heard of the free surprise gifts waiting in your shopping cart idea before - love it!

Thanks Casudo, I totally agree with you!

Does the WPTouch plug-in from Wordpress provide responsive web design?

Hi Rebecca, that is an absolute pleasure. You know how often I run requests for companies to pitch their particular products and services for blog post compilations! It is the best service ever! Cheers, Elizabeth

I enjoyed reading your comments but have to disagree.

In point 1, you say you shouldn't sell a zero-star product etc. Of course not, but it's customers who decide if they think it's five stars or not and their reviews will help inform ...

What excellent timing, Armando, I'm about to launch two new products so I'm going to revise my plans and go through your suggested steps!

I've had the opposite problem. A customer with an unusual surname asked me to replace his surname with an initial after his name came up on a Google search by his potential employer who decided that his demonstrated interest in my types of prod...

These are great ideas, and I think they could be applied throughout the year, not just after Christmas.

One aspect that wasn't covered was that women do the majority of gift shopping - offline and online - and are tasked with this not only for their family and friends but often for their colleagues and employees, too, while men tend to "outsource...

Depending on how drastic the error is, sometimes you can send out an email which is merely 'revised' ie "Your revised December 2011 newsletter". The open rates are often almost as good if not better than the original one with the mistake (peopl...

I have just had this happen to me. I was about to buy my nephew some Airwalk boots and then realised I wasn't sure about his size and texted my sister-in-law for the details. I have been a little creeped out by how many StyleTread ad banners ha...

Great article Armando!

Mike, perhaps you can ask the retailer to advertise free shipping on your products over $99. Some of my dropshipping retailers do this to make the price more attractive, while others charge the client, even thoug...

June is also a great time to start planning for Christmas, and for promoting your non-perishable items to early bird shoppers who like to buy gifts ahead of time.

Another possibility to promote multi-item orders if you have too much inventory of a custom product is to create DIY kits. One acquaintance who had ordered way too many blank t-shirts for her t-shirt business (thanks to a "fantastic deal") cre...

I saw a wonderful facebook promotion by 1800 Flowers for Valentine's Day last year(?) that encouraged women to "like" their choice of floral bouquets and arrangements, with the idea that their partner would see their "like" show up on their pag...

I produce a mini-catalog (12 pages) of my luxury gift products which I send to my customers with their orders and again with their handwritten birthday cards to encourage repeat orders.

Customers who specify business shipping addresses...

That is one of the best, most honest and most useful interviews with an entrepreneur I have ever read! Shirley, I would love to hire you myself (not that I plan to sell just yet)! I am so passing this story on to my network...
