2. Product/Service Design
Product Design is a must for E-Commerce Businesses, a good showcase for your products equals a professional feel to your business, without a good product design for your products, how are people going to identify and get a feel for your product, let's take Google Merchant for example, you are looking for a pair of new oven gloves, what do you see first? The Image of course, if that image does not have the correct colour design or lighting, or is jiggered around the edges of the product I know I would not click on that product, Product Design is if not the most important aspect for your E-commerce business as it gives customers the feel of the product, the quality and most importantly that good first impression.

Marketing and Analytics is basically door to door / office to office marketing, but in the digital world, instead of putting on a suit and tie and presenting your Product to multiple businesses or clients, we analyse potential clients and businesses that are looking for a Product just like yours.
