My sister and I are embarking on a small online business project targeting female consumers, hehe. 
Well, I can’t say it’s a business yet. It’s still at its very early stage of preparation. We are sourcing and comparing different suppliers. We have to go through lots of the nitty-gritty stuffs like calculating costs and comparing shipping fees.
Whew~ There’s surely a lot to do!
Since we may not have many things to offer at the beginning, we may just ‘rent’ a unit from one of the e-malls.
Later, when our inventory expands, then we will consider setting up our very own online shop using one of the ecommerce software available.
Using the appropriate shopping cart software is very important to make online shopping a pleasant experience for the customers. In addition, it also eases the life of merchants like us, who have no web site designing and programming skills, and are busy with other work or personal commitments at the same time.
A good shopping cart software provides features such as easy set up, web-based store administration, free technical support, easy inventory control tools, efficient integrated payment system, etc. It’s worth investing in such tools to run the business more smoothly.
Hopefully all these efforts will make our shop a very welcoming and consumer friendly place for online shopping in the future. For now, more calculation to do!
And don’t worry, I will surely announce it here when the business is up and running!
