Your New Year's plans involve your company's revenue growth in 2014, but for some reason, the increase in sales will be - an increase in the sales department, access to new markets or innovative products? A likely source of new customers can be e-commerce.
According to the latest e-Commerce estimates for sales in retail e-commerce and mobile commerce in the US for the full year, sales in the amount of e-commerce amounted to $ 262.3 billion..... In 2013, an increase of 16.4 percent year on year, which is slightly more than the 16.2 percent increase in the previous year. By 2017, according to e-Commerce estimates, the volume of sales in the sector amount to 440 billion dollars, while total average annual growth rate (CAGR) -..... 13.8 percent. The question is whether small businesses to capture their share of such a rapidly growing e-commerce market.
Below are 12 e-commerce strategies, which should be planned for implementation in 2014:

1. Micro-targeting online audience.
E-commerce - it is mainly the creation of "territory": the definition and development of the site to reach people with common interests or characteristics. Regardless of the product or service, you must identify a niche market for the company, where it is possible to get online with special offers.

2. Personalization.
Visitors to the site requires a unique in-kind services to their needs and interests. Detection technology interests and preferences of individual customers is available even small players, and taking into account the data collected can be carried out product selection and implement trading strategies with individual stocks.

3. Create content for appeal.
It is necessary to use different sources of content to make the site "attractive" to potential buyers. Amazon attracts millions of consumers, offering them to share their opinions on products such as books and CDs. What is your strategy to help potential customers for your products or services find you through Google? Use keywords and Meta tags in order to raise your ranking in the search results.

4. Creating a site for the target segment.
The corresponding brand website design and well-structured navigation are key ingredients to attract an audience and to make visitors come back. It is necessary to ensure that the experience of watching a tempting goods through an online platform. If you want to sell backpacks for students, for example, you want to use bright colors and luxurious design to evoke a sense of youth and adventure.

5. Integration through channels.
Create a multi-channel offer, allowing consumers to enjoy their brand constantly, regardless of their method of choice. But rest assured that the products that you sell through various channels, sufficiently differentiated to take into account the difference in prices.

6. Investing in mobile commerce.
Mobile commerce is growing at a rate more than 130 percent per year. If you do not have a reliable mobile commerce platform, you will see a significant lag in revenues over the next few years. To remain competitive, you need to offer affordable mobile services, such as delivery status notifications in real-time option to "click to call", maps and product information.

7. Warning logistics.
To ensure growth, you may need to use the capabilities of third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to manage the large volume of complex orders. Reverse logistics, the ability to handle returns and exchanges quickly and economically, it is a key factor. Delivery on the same day and innovative performing network can be a competitive advantage.

8. Use the subscription commerce.
Subscription trade can take many forms. The replenishment model heading is sent to the customer every month. Opening model is more promising. It offers subscription to periodically supervise by experience and offers new, scarce, or individual products directly to the customer.

9. Bypassing intermediaries.
Internet allows small businesses to quickly reach a large number of consumers. Manufacturers, including factories in China, more and more are willing to work with small brands. They found that small brands are likely to introduce new products to the market, because they are less limited by space constraints and complex supply chains.

10. Offer the convenience of other channels.
Your sales will increase if you make sure that the presence of the product, advertising strategies and consistent brand experience across all channels - whether online, in a store or on a mobile device. Implement the optimal technology supply chain to get the visibility of your performance on all channels.

11. Oversee the selection property.
Selecting the property is a strategy that focuses on the "curator" narrow and deep assortment of products in a particular segment. These sites are made to feel the exclusivity of the goods because of the depth and originality of the range and the difficulty of finding similar products elsewhere.

12. Sales only through the online store.
This strategy, which is building an exclusive brand of e-commerce as the main distribution channel. By offering products that are not available elsewhere and selling them directly to the consumer on the internet, you are supporting a much greater control over your field of activity.

It should be noted that these e-commerce strategy is very suitable for many companies. With a growing number of internet users, such strategies can bring real success and dramatically increase your sales.

Selling your merchandize is a very tricky thing and requires creative instincts.Just posting content on the site won't turn the trick until you think outside of the box.If you want to succeed in the market then you should learn how to target the specific demographic in the market.Best way apparently is through differnt social media sites and email marketing.I know its time consuming and requires alot of homework but I can assure you that it has the potential to turn the trick for you.

Pinterest ,Facebook and instagram are pretty hot resources available where you can advertise your product and gain immediate feedbacks.Make innovative videos and GIFs portraying your product and put them up on these sources.Apart from that find out how your product is ranked in the market.You can check out amazon's camelcamel to find out this information.

1.Get Reviews
The power of customer reviews is enormous, 88% of consumers now say that they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
2. Give it away for free
Stay with me here, although in the short term this is a bad move, this can have a significant impact in the long term. As mentioned in the previous point, obtaining reviews is crucial in order to get your products shown. So in order to gather them, offer customers a one off 99% discount code .
3. Improve your SEO
As well as seller rating and price, Amazon also looks at keywords in the product’s title to rank listings.
4. Stay competitive and win the Buy Box
Many sceptics who avoid selling on Amazon do so because of the misconception that it is too competitive. Despite 55% of its sellers reporting a profit margin of above 20%.

The list from Mal mentioned personalization. Personalization will be huge as there are more companies out there able to track just about everything that happens on your site. It is not about targeting the right person, its more about creating a profile for your visitors so you cater to their experience on your site. For example, displaying different content based on their usage.
