Advantages of E-Shop Leasing
1
affordability.
One of the biggest challenges small and medium-sized and especially new businesses have when getting a new e-shop developed is affordability. Few businesses can afford the luxury of having their own website developer to build or redesign their e-commerce website. Most businesses, when faced with the costs associated with eShop development or redevelopment, just put it off!
Often, the result is that the business ends up with an old, out-of-date e-commerce platform which does not reflect what the business does. The ‘website’ is very much an image of the business some three or four years ago. This can be really limiting for the business, especially when there is no clear solution to get out of this dilemma!
So, If you are looking to create a new eShop or re-design your existing one, you need a financially viable way of getting a new platform for your online sales.
If you are looking to create a new e-shop for your products or services, you are probably wondering
“How much will it cost?”
The answer, of course, is that it depends!
It depends upon what you expect from your website. It depends upon whether you need to sell products or services through your website. It depends upon whether you expect your eShop to generate leads and enquiries for you. It depends upon whether you want your customer relationship management (CRM) system to be connected to your e-shop to capture sales enquiries and to help you nurture your prospective clients. It depends upon how many products or services you have to market (if you have a catalogue of several hundred products and services, your online sales platform will need to be significantly larger and therefore, more costly to develop). It depends upon whether you consider a blog to be an important part of your eShop’s promotion. And it depends upon how much of your own resources you want to invest in the development of the website.
What frequently happens is that the high costs associated with a traditional eShop build often mean that crucial aspects of the website have to be reconsidered or dropped to keep “on budget” – leading to an ineffective website and in some cases, no new website at all.
Traditional website builds usually mean paying 50% or more upfront, and you could be waiting anywhere from three to six months – and in extreme cases, longer – before your website goes live.

Time is money!
In a world where purchase decisions increasingly start with a Google search, having an online sales platform – a fully functioning, lead-generating eShop – is absolutely essential. A website may be costly, yes, but letting months or even years passing by cost even more!
There is a smarter, more cost-effective solution that enables you to get an e-shop that will help you to generate leads! There is a solution that allows you to spread the cost of the website build and not have to wait six to twelve months before your e-commerce website launches!
It’s E-Shop Leasing.
Instead of “buying” your e-shop and using a traditional design process which freezes your existing website in its current state whilst all the new development takes place, consider leasing your website and utilising Growth-Driven Design.
It’s entirely possible. Spread the cost of your new website from twelve to 36 months. In the same way that people lease a car, or rent their business offices the same can be done for your online store.
Leasing your e-commerce site might sound strange but it is effectively the next ‘logical’ step in clever website design and search engine optimisation. You just take out a twelve to thirtysix months contract or use our month to month plan and we manage and maintain your eShop on your behalf – allowing you to focus on running your business.
