Who are the developers and what type of experience do they have?
An excellent question so many overlook when making software decisions. Joe Mehm & Mike Wasdin have each been in the window coverings industry for over
23 years. They created and established numerous local retail operations during their first 13 years in the industry. They are also
responsible for many of the top Internet based window coverings sites such as BlindsWholesale.com, Blinds.com, BuyRiteBlinds.com and FreeBlinds.com.
With over a decade of designing and building window coverings websites, Joe and Mike had come to understand the things most important
to online shoppers. Combining their Internet and direct selling experience, they then applied it on a local level, first hand. They started
closing more sales immediately. After witnessing the results, their decision to make a turn-key software package available to other retailers,
was a natural progression.
Do I need to own my own domain name to use LocalCommerce?
Yes, you will need to have a domain name for us to set this up on.
Couldn't I just pay someone to design a custom website for me?
Of course you could. Provided you are prepared to spend anywhere from $30,000 for a basic website, to as much as $300,000 for a
comprehensive, e-commerce website. One that’s comparable to the website you receive from Blinds Commerce. A site designed for
businesses seeking a relevant web presence, but without the high cost of building a quality, custom website from the ground up.
Why is having an Internet presence important if I only sell in the local market?
Your customers expect it! Then you can capture a greater share of the Six Billion Dollar window treatment market by taking advantage of how
the Internet plays a larger part in local markets every year. A comprehensive website gives your customers the ability to shop with your business
while in the comfort and privacy of their own home and without the pressure they might feel with a salesperson present. Customers can leisurely
browse your site locating the products and options they desire, prior to your visit. They may even decide to go ahead and make their purchase
on-line, saving you the time, gas and expense of actually having to measure and install the job yourself. What a timesaver that becomes!
Can my customers order directly from my website?
Absolutely! This is one of the many advantages of having your own Blinds Commerce website and it’s a big one. The do-it-yourself type of
customer would be able to go on-line, enter their sizes, colors and product selections and then complete check out using their credit card.
Their order could even be drop shipped directly to them from the supplier, all without you doing more than placing the order with your vendor.
The customer could then do their own installation or contact you for install if they were unable. This translates to greater bottom line
profits for you as a portion of your customers buy from you, do all the work themselves, and leave you more time to generate additional business.
This also allows you to recapture some of that revenue you currently lose to the big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes. Your website gives
you the ability to offer "do-it-yourself" pricing, but with the personal touch the big boxes could never provide.
