Been There, Done That!

Exciting opportunity! Now you can sell your products and expertise to the entire world without adding any more bricks. Welcome to the world of Volusion Shopping Cart Software. Selling on the Internet is simple if you have all of the pieces. vpBuzz is here to help you get your new Voluison store off the ground. We assume you have already figured out that Volusion is the right solution for you and now you are looking for help beyond Volusion Support.

If you are a Newbie to Ecommerce/Volusion I suggest you read the e-book "E-commerce for Dummies". It is free. We don't even ask for your email. Setting up your store is a process and if you own a store then you already have a full-time job. Hiring vpBuzz to build your store will save you time and save you money. We have been there and we have done that. Here is your first K.I.S.S. [Keep It Simple Stupid] Tip—

Your Web Design—Your first major decision after signing up for your new Volusion account trial is to pick a template for your website design. You will first look at the free templates then the paid ones but most likely you will have a yearning to have your own unique design that will set the "First Impression" for you new storefront. Here is my advice that will save you money. Hold on that decision! Use the best free template that you think will work for your business.
You have lots of work to do before you should be worrying about a final site design. You will find that as you begin to learn Volusion you will begin to better understand the limits of what design changes you can do. But if you wish to have a new design ASAP and money is not an issue, then go with one of the best and most experienced Design companies for Volusion websites: BrandLabs.us. I have never used them, but I have seen their work and know that Volusion recommends them too. They, like Volusion, are expensive but you will be very happy with the final product.

Sometimes, it just makes sense to hire help. Especially when you are going to be spending a lot of time and money learning the hard way. I still hire "Experts" for SEO, Retail Consulting, Writing, Conversion Sciences and specific industry experts such as buyers and designers.

Add Only A Few Products: complete each product record as you go until you get everything set just the way you like it.

I invite you to Google search for "Volusion resellers". Take a look at other companies that support Volusion Ecommerce Shopping Cart software. We are not expensive, we do what we say and we do it on time.
