Activity step 1: webshop & products idea

 

 

 

  • Come up with a webshop business idea. Write out your idea (short)
  • Be aware of the fact that in coming activities you will have to come up with product variations. An example of a product variation is a product page for a Lacoste polo shirt with as variations Blue, Green or Red and sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL
  • You will have to come up with cross-selling ideas. Make sure some products are the crosselling candidates for one of your products. For example, if you sell smartphones, a suitable headset, an extra battery pack, a protection sleeve and a phone carrier subscription are good examples of crosselling opportunities.
  • You will also want to try some upselling. If a customer is looking at a "no brand" Polo, you could promote the Lacoste branded Polo which is more expensive and generate more revenue for your company while the customer is still looking at the no-brand Polo.
  • You could already prepare some photo's and desciptions for your products. Try to find also foto's for the variations
