Instructions
Step 1
Let's say you decided to create your own online tea store. First of all, in order to launch your online store, you need to decide what types and names of teas you will sell. Make a list of teas and group them by category (for example, red tea, black tea, herbal tea, etc.).
Step 2
To place products and take orders, you must select a site for implementation. This can be your own website or a ready-made platform (for example, social networks - VKontakte or Instagram, trading platforms - E-bay or Etsy). Explore all the options and choose the one that suits you in terms of functionality.
Step 3
If you decide to create your own website, then either your own programming skills or the help of a specialist will come in handy. There are companies involved in the creation of a platform for online stores. It all depends on your capabilities, including financial ones. Study the regional market for the cost of a domain and a turnkey website.
Step 4
Once the layout of the site (or page on the marketplace) is created, you need to start filling it with materials about the products. It is for this purpose that we grouped our teas into categories in the first step. Sections on the site should be named after your categories for easier search.
Step 5
If you do not have any ready-made (from the supplier) information about teas, you will have to create all this yourself. This includes the name of the tea, a description of its properties, photographs.
Step 6
A very important point regarding product photos. It is important in the pictures to reflect all the external advantages of tea, so the photographer or you yourself must have the skills of subject photography. Ideally, each tea should be accompanied by a photo of the package, its dry contents, as well as a photo of the products sold (brewed tea). All this should be aesthetically designed: photographed against a beautiful background in a good angle.
Step 7
If you do not have any information about the prices of your tea, then check the average price tag on the Internet. Calculate the cost of your tea and indicate it in your online store in the appropriate field, be sure to mark the mass for which this price is set.
Step 8
Your online store needs to be constantly replenished, both with new products (people love interesting novelties) and with photos and descriptions of tea components. For example, when creating a website or trading platform, you can provide for a section "Useful information" or "Useful articles", where you will periodically post information materials).
Step 9
If we are talking about your own website for an online store, then you need to think about how to promote your site in the search engines. To do this, use the tools provided by search engines (for example, Yandex-Direct or Yandex-Wordstat). In this case, social networks work on the principle of impressions, likes and reposts, so make sure that your information about products is relevant and interesting so that you want to share it.
