How to start an online retail business

Luigi Moccia from Calashock, a partner of WooCommerce, shares top tips for starting a successful online retail store.

When someone tells you “oh wow, things must be going SO well in your business” – does a part of you wish they knew how lost you sometimes feel?

 
I know how hard you work, how badly you want to succeed, how much you believe in the potential of your business, and how much progress you’ve already made.

 
But at some point – between juggling orders, suppliers and the relentless need to keep up on social media, you’ve begun to feel overwhelmed. And financially, you may be wondering when you’ll get the chance to pay yourself a decent salary or hire in enough help.

My name is Catherine Erdly and I have over 20 years experience working with product businesses of all sizes from high street names (such as Laura Ashley, Coast and Paperchase), all the way down to brand new businesses with just a handful of customers.

 
I have helped these businesses get more organised and make more money.

&nbsp; 
Now I want to help you do the same so that you feel clearer, re-energised and confident enough to take your business to the next level.

&nbsp;

If you’ve been looking for some help with your business, and you’d like a trusted expert to work with you to:

 
- Outline what your options are to make your business a success long term 
- Make the most of your time 
- Manage your money 
- Support you with a new project – like a pop-up shop or wholesale 
- Give you the confidence to grow as a founder and business owner 
&nbsp;

Then get in touch now, and let’s talk.

Founder

School of Sales: Grow your sales for Christmas

Watch back: How to grow your sales for Christmas

&lt;p&gt;I'm Emily, Retail Supply Chain Consultant and owner of The Retailer Clinic. I help small retailers to optimise their supply chains, focusing on the areas of procurement, production, inventory management, forecasting, cash flow and strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have over 10 years experience in retail having worked in head offices in buying, sales and production roles and on the shop floor in sales advisor and account management positions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Working for small retailers opened my eyes to the challenges small retailers face when it comes to supply chain. Forecasting and inventory management software is eye-wateringly expensive, production planning is more complex due to smaller order quantities, and deciding on a procurement strategy can be difficult without buying power.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I went in search of solutions to these problems and spent the next few years studying supply chain analytics, fundamentals, dynamics and design. Armed with 10 years of experience navigating retail supply chains and a stack of models and knowledge, I am ready to help you optimise your supply chain!&lt;/p&gt;

Retail Supply Chain Consultant

Small Retailers Network

This is a networking and support group for small retailers. The aim of this group is to create a space for small retailers to network, troubleshoot and collaborate. 

I am here to help all members with any retail operations and supply chain questions.

I may be pale and Male but I'm certainly not stale! New ideas and ways of doing things are the way in which I have kept relevant to my clients and their customers since I started 17 years ago.
My Management Consultancy Business has been going since I left Carlsberg as the Sales Development Director. I offer two key services:
1) Mentoring service by the hour for people who need help with Sales Development.
2) Consultancy Services by the Day for larger organisations with Field Based Sales people. For them, I do what no one else is doing, which is to go out on Accompaniment with them. This helps me to see them in action and deliver the help and support to get the right results where it matters most - in front of their customers.
I love helping people see Sales as a positive activity and I tend to try and make it as easy and fun as possible. What helps me to be successful is my genuine interest in people and what makes them tick as well as improving Businesses and how they can generate more sales.
For more information, please check out my website: www.jmrsales.co.uk or my LinkedIn profile for Customer testimonials.
