The $5.8T industry known as eCommerce has been gathering major momentum over the past few years.
Something that most knew from 2018 teens selling fidget spinners online has now become the source of exclusive lifestyle for many.
But even though consumers are switching to buying online even more and smart individuals are capitalizing on it,
There comes the problem of actually running an eCommerce business.
From our 5+ years of experience with eCommerce businesses and entrepreneurs,
We’ve seen multiple store owners complain about things like Website design and setup,
Marketing & Paid ads,
Suppliers,
Copywriting and funnel building, etc.
And if you also have similar issues, then you are in the right place ‘cause we’re going to look at the most effortless way of dealing with all these…
The Done-For You approach.
What Is DFY E-commerce?
Ever heard the saying “If you want something done right, do it yourself”?
Well, this isn’t always true and in the case of eCommerce, one might be too inexperienced or non-knowledgeable to actually do any of the processes by themselves…
And not everyone has the luxury of time to master all these skills at once…
That’s when they reach out to someone more experienced in the whole eCommerce game.
So, Done-For-You eCommerce is simply having a more experienced and capable party handle the processes of running your e-commerce business.
By processes, I’m talking Suppliers,
Product and market research,
Ads and organic marketing,
And the rest that’ll take ages for an inexperienced beginner to learn and implement all by themselves.
You could look at it like a partnership and a form of leverage that not only frees up your time and brain power,
But also guarantees - to some extent - financial security.
That’s why a lot of people are switching to the DFY E-commerce business model,
And in the next section, I’ll give you even more reasons why this model is taking this realm by storm.
Why Choose A DFY E-Commerce Business?
At times, jumping into the deep end unprepared is quite scary and not really the best course of action…
But by going for a DFY e-commerce business solution, the deep end starts looking more like a kid's pool.
By going for a pretty much automated e-commerce business, you can significantly make the daunting processes easier and that comes with the following benefits:
Saves Time
You’ve probably heard more experienced people say things like:
“If I knew then what I know now, I would’ve been in a way better position”
Well, believe it or not, that’s the cold truth.
The earlier you get game-changing insights, the more time you have to take your eCommerce business further.
When you have experienced partners working with you, you tend to avoid mistakes that could’ve put you back by years.
Plus, setting up a store in general involves a myriad of tasks…
You’re doing everything from website development and product research,
To copywriting, funnel building and marketing.
All these could take you about a month of trial and error with outsourcing,
As well as poor methodology with some systems before you get something reasonable off the ground.
However, with DFY E-commerce, you get a partner who can accomplish all these in a fraction of the time it’ll take you.
And if you choose the right partner(more on this later), they might see these activities and do it with ease as though it’s muscle memory.
This ensures the business starts generating serious revenue sooner.
On the other hand, this allows you to focus more on other business activities or more personal endeavors.
Access to Specialized Skills and Resources
As you know, running a successful e-commerce business requires diverse skills working in harmony.
Skills like web design & development and digital marketing.
A Done-For-You e-commerce solution would normally provide access to a team of experts who specialize in these areas.
This means your e-commerce business will carry out necessary processes with each process handled by experts…
With experts running your business, you’re sure to see a substantial amount of revenue at the end of every month.
Faster Scalability
Scaling an e-commerce business involves scaling infrastructure, managing increased demand, and expanding product lines.
Done-for-you services often have scalable solutions ready, allowing your e-commerce business to grow seamlessly without facing the typical challenges of infrastructure upgrades and resource constraints.
These infrastructures could include things like funnels, systems for scaling, and things of the sort.
(Note that many businesses fail because they are unable to control how fast they scale, but with experienced DFY partners, your e-commerce business is sure to stay afloat )
Reduced Operational Overhead
Running an e-commerce business involves ongoing operational costs, such as hosting, maintenance, and customer support.
With a turnkey e-commerce solution, these overhead costs are often bundled into a predictable monthly fee, allowing for better financial planning and management.
Continuous Optimization and Innovation
“The only constant in life is change”
This is a universal law and this applies a lot to your store.
Customers are always changing…
Buying behavior and preferences…
Reactions to certain things on your page…
You name it.
That’s why one has to carry out A/B testing and other conversion rate optimization practices to make sure your store changes alongside your customers.
Luckily for you, a Done-For-You dropshipping solution would normally carry out continuous testing to make sure your brand goal is still in line.
Risk Mitigation
Launching a new e-commerce/dropshipping business inherently carries risks, such as market validation, technological challenges, and competitive pressures.
A reputable done-for-you e-commerce service provider mitigates these risks by leveraging their experience, market insights, and established processes to navigate challenges effectively.
Challenges With DFY E-commerce
There is nothing that comes without its own challenges.
So here are some challenges to consider before getting a DFY E-commerce solution:
Initial Costs and Budgeting:
Normally, a done-for-you e-commerce solution gives you convenience and the space to carry out more personal activities.
However, they typically involve upfront costs.
These could be setup fees, development costs, and ongoing service charges.
To effectively go into DFY e-commerce, you have to budget appropriately and understand the full scope of the expenses.
This also helps with financial planning.
Integration with Existing Systems
If you already have an e-commerce store up and running and are looking to delegate every of your store processes,
Note that there may be a problem when trying to integrate the workings of your system with that of your Done-For-You e-commerce solution provider.
Although this problem can be solved, it does require an amount of careful planning and technical expertise to beat.
Scalability and Growth Management
Many businesses have collapsed because they couldn’t handle how fast they were scaling.
The exact same can happen to your store if your DFY partner doesn't have systems in place for managing scale.
That is systems for accommodating increased traffic, transactions, and product offerings without compromising performance.
This is really important for long-term success.
Choosing The Right Done-For-You E-commerce Partner
It's very important to choose the right partner to work with. There are countless companies out there that offer these services, but not all of them are created equal.
When selecting a partner, it's essential to look out for the following:
Expertise and Experience
Look for a done-for-you partner with a proven track record in e-commerce development, digital marketing, and operational management.
Their expertise should align with your business goals and industry requirements.
This helps both parties achieve the KPIs set in place.
Support and Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Check the Done-for-you e-commerce solution partner’s customer support capabilities, including response times, support channels, and SLAs.
Reliable support ensures prompt issue resolution and ongoing operational continuity.
This being checked out is usually a good sign and shows that the partner also has an interest in prompt service delivery.
Technology and Security Standards
Verify that the DFY partner utilizes secure e-commerce platforms(like Shopify, Dobo, or WooCommerce), adheres to industry standards for data protection, and implements robust cybersecurity measures.
Protecting customer data and maintaining regulatory compliance is paramount and when not done right can drag you down the drain as well.
Client References and Testimonials
Request references from past or current clients to gauge their satisfaction levels and success stories.
Testimonials and case studies provide insights into the provider's reliability, service quality, and ability to deliver results.
It also hints at how quickly they actually deliver results contrary to whatever they may promise in their sales pitches.
