 Are you happy with your Web Store Business? Recently several of my wholesale customers approached me to design websites for them. After seeing the teramasu.com website, they realized the need for a professional online presence. I can do the same for you. Having recently opened a new retail store in North Carolina I have found that many local business in the Southern Pines and Pinehurst area of North Carolina do not know where to turn for website design. I find most people want to work with someone local, but without the technical expertise how does a local merchant know how to evaluate who is a good website designer. The last thing you want to do is spend a ton of money on a website and not get any traffic. I have seen this in the past where people sent $5000 on a website and no one showed up. These business owners became jaded and gave up on their websites but not on the web. They basically outsourced traffic creation to the big E-commerce giants EBay and Amazon. If you sell on EBay and Amazon, though there are many benefits, there are also many costs and ultimately you are at the mercy of those companies. If you truly want to control your business you have to have a direct connection with your customer through your own website and build a business through developing your own email list and newsletter.
