The moped renovator shares his best e-commerce tips!
Mopedrenovering.se has been a customer of Abicart since: 2013. What started as a hobby grew quickly and today they are one of the largest moped shops in Europe. Janne is one of the co-owners and with a background in IT he shares his best tips!
For us, there has never been just one thing, but we do many things and we do those things well. We don't have to be the best but we should never be the worst. We follow the mantra "We suck less". Which means that when we think we suck at something, we're often still better than our competitors. We're still usually the best even if we're not always happy with what we do.
We've always had lots of ideas and we're not afraid to try new things, so my advice is to think outside the box and dare to try things out. Just be sure to analyse and change again if you find it's not working out for the best. When you run a webshop it is important that you have a high level of knowledge about your products and that you know how to treat a customer. A dissatisfied customer can always be a very good ambassador, your job is to make sure to turn the mindset of the customer to the positive. Sometimes it costs a little but it's always worth it because in the end you will benefit from it.
To streamline your work even more, my tip is to learn how to work in Excel, especially if you have a large amount of products. I like to process 10,000 products at the same time, to work more efficiently.
For example, if you realise that you have named the same items with different names such as rear light, rear lamp, rear lamp and rear lantern. Instead of going in and changing each item one by one in the database, you can instead pick out the whole database and put it into an Excel file and you can filter and change them all to the same name there. Then you just pick it back into the database, that way you will save a lot of time. As soon as you can process many things at once in Excel, it's a tremendous time saver, it's worth its weight in gold to be able to process many items at the same time.
My last tip is to make it easier for you to start a webshop. Make sure you have everything totally integrated and automated as much as possible. We have removed all manual work by linking the functions and integrations together and it makes our daily work a lot easier. We have had your PRO subscription since the beginning. The reason for this is that we have always wanted to fully automate everything as much as possible and we want to avoid manual methods. In order to make these connections we have needed the PRO subscription. Considering everything you offer and deliver for what we pay, we think it is extremely good. You are also good at picking integrations in many payment methods and the like.
