eCommerce solutions to grow your online business

eCommerce is an exciting, thriving industry. But it’s also highly-competitive. Running a successful eCommerce business is like putting together a puzzle: Only when all the essential pieces are joined do you see the complete picture. There are many pieces to the eCommerce puzzle. It starts with a great eCommerce website design. Then, comes the need to generate traffic. When orders roll in, so will the demand for customer service and order management. This puzzle-piece principle is what guides our business.

We’ve been there. Solid Cactus knows eCommerce sites better than any developer because we were successful eCommerce merchants first. We’ve been on the managing end of eCommerce website design and development, eCommerce marketing, customer service, and back-end order management. In fact, many of the tools developed by Solid Cactus were developed to fill the needs of our founder’s eCommerce company.

eCommerce Marketing

Call Center Services

Call Center Services

We can help you keep your customers happy. Quality customer service leaves a lasting impression. In brick and mortar stores, shoppers expect a staff member to be available to answer product questions, explain return policies, or to be pointed in the right direction. A professional recommendation or suggestive sell is even appreciated. eCommerce web sites are no different. Although you can’t see them, your customers are real people and providing them quality service is an important aspect of running an online business.

There are many reasons an online shopper may need to contact you prior to a sale: confirming an item is in stock, asking about a return policy, needing more product details, and more. Having someone available to immediately answer questions means capturing a sale. Service after the sale is important for customer retention, such as answering questions about order tracking or exchanging an item. It’s not always about the phone. Many online shoppers prefer the immediacy of live chat or the convenience of e-mail. Offering multiple methods of communication with qualified customer service professionals in place to respond is the best strategy to offering superior service.

Not every eCommerce business can dedicate the time or resources it takes to manage a full-time customer service department. That’s where Solid Cactus Call Center management shines. We offer a variety of solutions to serve the needs of your customers: phone support, live chat, and administrative services.
