I'm assuming you already have an online presence...is that correct? I'll assume that & outline some advertising/marketing options for you:\n\nThere are plenty of PPC (pay per click) programs. The 2 biggest, I think, are Google & Yahoo!.\n\nA couple free resources – check out the sources box for links:\n\n1) Create a blog pertaining to your field\n\n2) Use Yahoo! 360, Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups\n\nAlso, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission. We use ShareASale & pay out $25 to our affiliates once a sale is made & ShareASale takes another $5. $30 a sale is a pretty small price to pay for us. And I'm sure most programs like that allow you to set the commission rate (no point in your commission being half the price of a sale for you!)\n\nI listed a couple of handy sites relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. I hope they’re helpful for you.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

I agree above. osCommerce is simply the best way to go, especially if you're on a budget. Even if you're not on a budget, it's still great to have. It supports major payment getaways and shipping modules and has so many available functions in the contribution center.\n\nNow for one that is used must by large and well-known companies? You will not find them using osCommerce. Major companies do not buy software, nor do they download it. They hire programmers that willl create a shopping cart specially made to fit the company's needs. Sometimes these online stores or websites can be multi-million dollar projects!

Hi,\n\nThere are really simple website builders that can help you with what you want to do - but you need to subscribe to their hosting services.  One of the cheapest I know is at \n\nhttp://www.powerpill.com.sg/BestWebHosting.html \n\nThese website builders are also integrated with Paypal.  What you need is to sign up with Paypal for an account.  Once you have this, the rest is simple.

i currently use Yahoo! Small Business and their web hosting services. they are fantastic and have really grown my own website over the past four years. they have a merchant program which gives you support as you set up an online business and gives you pointers as to where exactly you can go from the start.\n\nif you don't want to start an online merchant store just yet, i still would recommend the web hosting package. it comes with site builder and pagebuilder so you can design the site yourself instead of paying a designer to do it for you. the package i have is web hosting starter and it costs me a little over 8 dollars a month. i have unlimited storage and great 24/7 support with Yahoo!. its cheap and has tons of storage and greap options. you should check it out.

I hope this artice helps you in choosing an online store:\n\nhttp://www.consumercompare.org/dvdnew/?kw=gb+rent%20dvd%20online&gclid=CNa4iZPD44gCFSWaFQodkmeZpA\n\nI think an online store such as Netflix (which I use), is best, simply because online stores have a much wider selection.

Start with RT. Instead of building a complex ticket and help system and trying to integrate it with your site, use a solid and robust package that does what you need and only what you need. I've used RT and Bugzilla quite a bit and both of them are probably your best bet.

1.  Put out an email newsletter that provides useful information.  For example, I subscribe to a few newsletters sent out by online stores that interest me.  One is Woodcraft (a merchant with a good web presence and good bricks and mortar stores).  Their site, as well as their newsletter, provide good how-to info and some links to project plans, etc.\n\n2.  Make sure your audience is truly targeted and wants to read your email -- Put up a way, on your site or at your business location, for a customer to sign up for your email newsletter/catalog.  Also, make sure there's a very easy way to unsubscribe.  It does no good to annoy people.  They just might decide to come back at a later date.  That is, unless you annoy them.  You could actually lose sales by spamming people.\n\n3.  Once you've accomplished the two points above, provide coupons or sale codes in your email.  Folks love a good sale.  You might also try contests.  Using Woodcraft as an example again, they hold carving contests every year -- Best Santa wins.  It's a lot of fun and while I don't carve, I enjoy going to the site to look at the entries.\n\n4.  Follow all laws, rules and regulations -- CANSPAM, although it's mostly useless, does have some rules you need to follow.  For example, having a real postal address and a way to unsubscribe.\n\nIf you offer merchandise or services I'm interested in, I just might sign up, but don't feel offended if I don't.  It only means I'm not one of the customers you should target.  Not wasting bandwidth on non-customers is good for me, good for you and good for the millions of potential customers that are out there.\n\nGood luck!

If it is a standalone shopping cart you are looking for that supports all the major payment outlets like paypal, then I recommend osCommerce. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't out of the box allow for a "news" front page, but when combined with that sort of CMS also, they become a very nice combination.

Well the best way to build trust in your customers with an ecommerce web site is to have an "About Us" page that tells who you are and where you live and how to contact you, you should also include your physical address and a picture of yourself. Also have a trust seal on your site, such as from Verisign or Truste.org.
