Launch Strategy

How to Incorporate E-commerce into Your Business

A strategic approach to launching and growing your online store

E-commerce success requires more than just technology—it needs strategy, operations, and continuous optimization. Here's how to do it right.

01

Start with Your Best Products

Don't launch with your entire catalog. Start with 20-50 best-selling or highest-margin products to test the waters and learn.

  • Choose products with proven demand
  • Focus on items with good margins
  • Include products at different price points
02

Build Operations First

E-commerce requires inventory management, shipping processes, customer service workflows, and return policies before you can scale.

  • Set up inventory tracking systems
  • Establish shipping and fulfillment workflows
  • Create return/exchange policies
  • Train customer service on online orders
03

Drive Traffic from Day One

A beautiful store means nothing without visitors. Plan your marketing strategy before launch, not after.

  • Build email list pre-launch
  • Set up Google Shopping feeds
  • Plan launch promotions
  • Identify initial traffic sources (social ads, SEO, influencers)
04

Optimize Based on Data

Launch is just the beginning. Continuously improve conversion rates, average order value, and customer retention using real data.

  • Monitor conversion rates by traffic source
  • Analyze where customers drop off
  • Test different product layouts and descriptions
  • Implement abandoned cart recovery
