Adaeze woke up to 98 unread WhatsApp messages including orders, complaints, and delivery issues. She ran an advert two days ago, and the link led to her WhatsApp DM. Now she needs to attend to all these issues before noon.
However, by noon, she had missed 10 urgent sales and refunded 8 customers for an item she didn’t even know was out of stock.
If this is your life, Stores was built for you. Here’s everything you get when you sign up.
A Fully Functional Website for Your Business
Have you ever dreamt of having a website you can customize and beautify for your brand, with your own words, but haven’t had enough funds to buy the domain? We understand this, and with Stores, you can create a free website for your business, display your products in an aesthetically pleasing way, and say your own words to your customers.
Bonus: you can use the link anywhere as your website, even on your Google My Business profile.
Use Customizable Themes That Make Your Brand Stand Out
Whatever appeals to your brand, we have them all. For the free version, you get a decent number of themes to pick from, and for the paid version, you get even more beautiful varieties- you really need to see it.
Run Seasonal Sales Without Losing Your Mind
It’s Valentine’s Day, and every lover is rushing to buy teddy bears and different gifts for their lovers. Imagine you have 500 orders as opposed to the 50 orders you got last year, how will you manage that? I’ll tell you.
With Stores, you can set up a sale, run ads that point straight to your website, and let hundreds of customers shop at once without you typing the same reply 400 times on WhatsApp.
And the best part is, the data from this sale tells you exactly what to do next time. You can prepare ahead for the next season with the data gathered from this season’s sale.
Don’t be like Adaeze.
Send Invoices and Receipts
This one makes you look like the Odogwu (Big Man) or Achalugo (Big Woman) that you are, it makes your business stand out with a professional receipt and invoice. Nobody will even know you’re running your business from home, how will they know?
Track Sales, Inventory, and Finances
Before we continue, how much profit did you make last month?
If you know the exact number, chop knuckles (🤛), and I hope you didn’t use pen and paper to calculate it 👀. And if you don’t know whether you made a profit or a loss, you can’t grow a business this way.
On your Stores dashboard, you can see everything that goes on in your business, your sales, your expenses, your inventory, and your profit/loss.
That you are making sales doesn’t mean you are making profit, and if you can’t see your analytics, how will you know? You can’t build what you can’t see.
Inbuilt Logistics and Shipping Options
You: Hello Seyi, are you free to take this order to Ajah for me?
Seyi: Ahh madam, I’m in Ogbomosho now o
At the risk of sounding like a jealous friend, with Stores you won’t be stranded, because you can access logistics from Stores. Just input your details and pick a logistics provider to deliver your product, no headaches and unnecessary panic. Whether you are shipping locally or internationally, we are here to stay, and we won’t travel and leave you like Seyi. 😉
Process and Track your Order from your Devices
Once your logistics person gets your product, you can see where exactly your product is. Whether in Miami or Ogbomosho, you are the secret FBI, and you can see everything going on even on your phone. Since you hold the map in your hands, there’ll be no need to panic, and even if a customer calls, you can confidently say, “It will get to you in 24 hours.”
See Your Business Insight
Imagine opening your Stores dashboard and seeing this:
“The Red Rose Dress is your best seller”
“95% of your customers are female”
“Sales dropped 5% last month”
Won’t you like to see these types of analytics? Your insights tell you who to target, what to push, and where to spend your ad budget so you’re not just throwing money at the wall.
If 10 people are already buying one product, there are likely 100 more out there who just haven’t seen it yet and would like to buy.
Manage your Customers in One Place
Customers are the life of every business, and to make sure you’re not losing sight of that, you need to be able to manage them all from one place. We make it easy for you to see the Active and Inactive ones so you can nudge the ones who’ve ghosted you and reward the ones who keep showing up. Because keeping a customer is always cheaper than finding a new one.
Conclusion
Stores was built to make running a business sweet for you so you can have more freed-up time to focus on making more sales, tracking business insights, and shipping confidently to your customers, whether intracity, interstate, or internationally. Get your own store and start making your business the best there is.
