【創業】國際網店支援平台攻港 300元即可做老闆

根據尼爾森今年3月公佈的巿場研究報告指,有近9成港人在過去12個月曾於網上消費,當中25至29歲為活躍消費群,有3分1人最近一次的網購就在受訪期間的同一星期進行,可見港人網購頻率甚高。然而,開網店說時容易,但做起來往往涉及不同界別的專業知識,例如設定域名、設計網頁、處理及上載產品圖片、銷售及庫存、發貨……假如還有正職在身,一人之力實難應付以上種種工序。有見及此,在新加坡和印度取得成績的網店支援系統Shopmatic近日正式攻港,推出一站式的網店管理服務,讓仍在打工的你可以低成本創業,或是讓現為Facebook和Instagram賣家的用戶再下一城。 Shopmatic將上述的每個開店難題整合,提供全方位的網店營運服務,當中包括提供域名及超過60套網頁設計範本,讓不懂做網頁的用戶也可以「DIY」。作為全球支付系統PayPal的合作夥伴,Shopmatic系統亦會幫助一眾新手網店老闆連結PayPal,打開全球生意大門。港人一向「百足咁多爪」,銷售也是一樣,不少賣家可能同時在多於一個平台經營,考慮到這點,服務亦容許用戶將eBay、Amazon及Zalora的戶口連接到系統上,以後有任何產品增減、價格調整,只需更新1次即可,無需重覆登入不同平台,為用戶節省更多時間;而連接上不同平台,系統都會提供各種銷售分析數據,讓老闆們隨時掌握每日、每周、每月的生意實況。 說到最令老闆頭痕和無助的事情,SEO絕對榜上有名。而Shopmatic的一大吸引之處,亦在於為每間網店配備的SEO功能——利用賣家提供的關鍵字,例如「日韓」、「模型」、「美容」等,增加網店被搜尋得到的機會。從事支付及銀行業務超過20年,曾於渣打、萬事達卡、PayPal工作的聯合創辦人兼行政總裁 Anurag Avula表示,Shopmatic能夠推動以亞洲為巿場目標的本地網上企業發展,「憑藉我們豐富的亞洲經驗,我深信我們的服務可以協助本地網店開拓香港及亞洲的網上業務。同時,對於一些在傳統零售模式方面發展已非常成熟的港企,我們亦能協助它們將線下的業務拓展至網上。」 Shopmatic現時收費為1個月38美元(約港幣300元),並設有首15天的免費體驗。雖然現時創業可以0成本利用社交平台進行買賣,但當業務漸趨成熟,有獨立網店網站又成為下一階段發展的「必需品」,從而將自身從一眾賣家中區分出來。低成本助賣家省時省力的網店系統,未來將會變得愈來愈重要。 Source: HK01
