Advantages of MyWebStore
Low monthly fee for a fast and stable platform. This allows you to try out a first year to see if your own webshop is something for you.
Quick response to questions and good support/webinars.
Feeling: A party that enjoys helping people start a webshop.
Furthermore, I have been able to experiment with a German-language webshop Aikipro.de and later also an English-language webshop Aikipro.eu from Mywebstore. From Mywebstore it is very easy to create the url structure and to place your content in the correct language.
As I mentioned before, Mijnwebwinkel cannot export source feeds and this is not ideal for larger shops.
It is not possible to handle multiple currencies from the same shop. For one of my next points about 'going international' with your webshop this can be very inconvenient. If you are only active in Euro countries this is not a problem, but what if there is a lot of market potential in Scandinavia, England, Switzerland or Eastern Europe?
Mywebstore does not (yet) offer a breadcrumb trail, which is less useful for your SEO, but also for the user-friendliness of your webshop.
All in all, choosing a CMS is a risk, because what if you had to move all your products, descriptions, URLs to another platform because you are not satisfied? Of course, in theory it is possible to how to check hong kong phone number move your webshop to another CMS, but apply the ROI calculation from tip 2 and you will understand my point that you would rather not do this.
5. Make mistakes!
Last year I spent at least €500 'wrong' on online marketing channels, spent at least €1000 on products that I thought there would be a demand for and bought at least €1000 worth of translations that I no longer use (see point 7).
Useful? No! Educational? Yes!
€2500,- is a lot of money, but if you want to be successful, you have to invest. Your own webshop means that you are an entrepreneur and entrepreneurship means that you also have to take risks. What if these products or the marketing had been successful?
Everyone has a voice in their head with brilliant out-of-the-box ideas and the fun part is to apply them. Your webshop is your shop, your company and there is no one who will slam the door in advance with a big NO.
I would pay attention to tip 3 again: is it necessary now, will it make money, or would I be better off investing my time in other ideas.
