Let’s fight against recession together!

May 5, 2009 by lanservices

Where retail being one of the fastest growing sectors in many countries such as United States, endless job opportunities are there with growing number of shopping malls and departmental stores. There’s always a demand for trained professionals which have increased the growth rate tremendously. There are number of trained professionals and courses in line dealing in retail management providing knowledge on Microsoft RMS ecommerce solution.

Unfortunately, gone are days when retails were flying high. The retail sector has started tumbling. The retailers are all coming out with lower guidance. These cost control measures are early signs of recession in the retail sector. The refinancing and easy money mortgages were fueling the economy and no one understood the bubble was being created. Cost cutting or in other terms RECESSION is accelerating the gap between weak and strong retailers gaming with their fortunes.

A major hunt has started for the retailers.  Many of them are out of business now. Retail shares declining day by day and creating worries.  A global recession sparked a sell-off in the markets worldwide. Organizations like Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co. analyst Stephen Chick have experienced lowered profit. Small and mid-sized businesses may lower demand for office-supply products.

The government is doing its own part to stimulate the economy. But it’s the duty of each and every individual to workout on the so called cause of recession. An outstanding out of box approach is needed which the retailers have to find by themselves. If the retailers want to survive they need to think extraordinary. They just can’t move with the same process-procedure they were applying before. Hard times require hardest decisions to be taken.

Anil Jindal, President/CEO LAN services, disclosed in an interview that his company is offering Free Hosting for Six months while integrating RMS and eCommerce Site.  He said “we and our team of designers and marketing experts will assist you to get up and run quickly which will help you to run your online business very well.

LAN Services invites- Let’s fight against recession together!

Now retailers are hurting like never before.  With few exceptions, the economic slump has been smashing the retail sector badly.  U.S. retail sales declined by 2.7 percent during November 2008, compared with the same month in 2007.  Likewise, 1.2 million job cuts were made in the United States last year.  Industries like – catalog showrooms, clothing, shoes, drug stores, electronics stores, grocery stores and supermarkets – are suffering the impact of the recession.

The government is doing its own part to stimulate the economy, but it is the duty of each and every individual to workout on the so called causes of recession. An outstanding out of the box approach is needed to combat tough times but, unfortunately, there is no magic formula.  If retailers want to survive they need to think extraordinary, they just cannot move forward with the same processes they were applying before. Hard times require tough decisions to be taken.

One of the ways retailers can retain or expand their business is by starting a web store since, running a web store is done at a fraction of the costs of a brick and mortar store. Although less demanding, it can still be very challenging to launch a new website. You have to create an ecommerce website, upload your store inventory, add images and keep on top of pricing, so as you can imagine, finding the right partner for such a task is critical.

With Microsoft Dynamic RMS as your point of sale system, LAN Services can make launching an ecommerce site as simple as possible and affordable. They can automate the process of uploading inventory, updating prices and downloading orders to stay on top of your additional business without the need for a technical expert in your back office.

Retailers can then invest this saving in marketing the website and generating increased traffic and sales.

In a statement, Dominic Frazer, VP – Sales/Marketing of LAN Services explained, “There is a raft of additional services that LAN Services offers to make our customer’s businesses more successful. We provide free training, free technical support, free customer support, free store front setup, search engine optimization, maintenance, email addresses, daily backups and storage with 99.99% uptime.”

Online retailing model with the retail management system

May 4, 2009 by lanservices

Boosting Business Profitability

Today, just about every aspect of modern living is about competition and about reaching the top inspite of the existing competition. As a retailer, this is possible only if your customers get good service and that too, at a very good price. While the product that you deal in or the service industry that you belong to, determines the target audience that you have, yet the mantra for reaching the top, is more or less the same. The point is that no matter who your target audience is, at the end of it, it is the service that you provide and the economic benefits that you offer, that determine whether you would be able to sustain in the highly competitive market and at the same time make profits or not.

Now, in order to stay at the top, a number of business owners have started using the Microsoft retail management system, and undoubtedly are benefiting from the advantages that come alongside using the microsoft rms retail practices. As a result the popularity of retail management systems is on the rise and businesses are either already using the system or are considering integrating their current practices with the system.

You could belong to any of these categories. You could already be using the retail management systems or could be considering using the retail management system. In either case, ensuring that the functioning of your business is in sync, is a necessity to achieve success.

Ensuring that the basic requisites are in place

Now, in case you are planning to start using the retail management systems, it is advisable to ensure that your computer fulfills the basic software and hardware requirements to ensure that the system functions properly and results in increasing efficiency. In order to find these out, you could either search online or speak with the dealer from whom you plan to purchase the retail management system. Further, once the system is installed, upgrading software and hardware capabilities would simply further enhance the performance. At the same time, just in case, your system does not meet the basic requisites for the retail management system, the performance might not really be upto the mark. So it makes sense to ensure that the basics are in place before making the investment.

Integrating back end with online front end

Once the microsoft rms retail or the retail management system is in place, the next step to increase profitability would be to integrate this system with the online selling model. In the current scenario, it is imperative for a business to have an online presence. Now-a-days, there is a huge market that looks at shopping from the convenience of their homes rather than stepping out to stores. In fact, if a business does not have an online presence, it is actually not tapping a huge share of the market. Other than this, online retailing offers the benefit of catering to your target audience beyond geographic boundaries. So for a retailer who is truly looking at optimizing profitability of the business, it is important to offer online services to customers. And here is where we at Lanservices would be at your service. While we can help you to set up an online retail model in case you do not have one, we at Lanservices can also help you to truly optimize the benefits that microsoft rms retail online can offer. This basically implies the benefits that arise from ensuring that your retail management system is extended to service your online retailing requirements as well by providing the requisite back end support.

Get Best Deal through Price Comparison Engines

May 1, 2009 by lanservices

It has been observed that one out of three online shoppers now prefer to visit at least one Price Comparison shopping site every month. These numbers simply exemplify that Price Comparison Engines offer a convincing intention for online resellers to go into partnership with them. Price Grabber, NexTag, BizRate, Smarter and SmarterDeals.com – are few of the leading comparison engines that possess a huge database of products and merchants. The key benefit of using Price Comparison Engines is that – all necessary and essential product information, including the price and reviews, is presented in a simplified and easy to understand grid format, and a quick look is sufficient to understand the key aspects of the product. This short and brief information not only enables shoppers to compare the product features and prices offered by various merchants from a single page, but also makes the online shopping experience much more convenient for potential purchasers. On the other hand, merchants can also take advantage of this aspect of Comparison Shopping Engines, since they are in the capacity to expediently review the pricing structure of their closest competitors and amend their pricing accordingly. Additionally, by cautiously submitting to the Comparison Shopping Engines, the links of product pages that reduce the steps required for placing an order (i.e., the product pages that directly allow adding goods to the shopping cart), retailers can make shopping on their web stores a speedy and convenient process for customers. This is certainly an advantage, since the retailers are now in control of deciding what pages are to be displayed by the shopping comparison websites; something which is almost impossible in the case of traditional search engines, where the merchants are uncertain of each Search Engine’s indexing methodologies. Other advantages for retailers are improved online visibility and the opportunity to exhibit their offerings side-by-side with other major brands that leads to improve their brand image by association. Therefore it is almost clear that the sooner online retailers plan to take advantage of this new opportunity, the more their web stores stand to grow. While search engines stand to be the major drivers of online sales, an upcoming new methodology of web retailing is fast gaining ground, and is set to burst out into the eCommerce scenario in a big way. SmarterDeals.com is a leading price comparison website created with keeping the Computer and Electronics shoppers in mind. Here, shoppers can search, compare, review and save on popular computer hardware, software and portable electronic products. In addition to a highly targeted price comparison website, www.SmarterDeals.com offers Daily Deals and Stock Clearance. Within these sections, savvy shoppers can find the best deals on latest product, such as – rebates, coupons and hot deals offered by multiple merchants. In comparison to other Price Comparison Engines, SmarterDeals.com has made it simple for merchants to join and post their entire catalog for shoppers to search and compare prices. Merchants can login and submit their data feed including detailed pricing information that is updated daily. Last but not least, SmarterDeals.com compares price and offers best deals on computer hardware, software, portable electronics, digital camera, camcorder, camcorder accessories, computer cables and accessories, Games, Xbox 360, DVD player, cell phone accessories, GPS, GPS accessories, video recorder, notebook accessories, flash memory & readers, motherboard accessories, PDA accessories, etc.

Recession and Ecommerce

May 1, 2009 by lanservices

eCommerce is one of the most important aspects which involves carrying out business over the Internet. It is considered as one of the best means of buying and selling of goods over internet.

A lot beneficial, ecommerce allows people to carry out businesses without the barriers of time or distance as compared to normal stores. It’s easy to purchase anything from Internet at any point of time, be it day or night, at a single click of the mouse. The cheapest means of doing business, ecommerce have totally removed the traditional means of going to stores, where direct cost and sales for an order could be easily taken from a web site. Without human interaction, the order can be placed and fulfilled with just a click of mouse.

Now-a-days, recession is having great penchant to touch sore spots of business. For instance, publications are now low on subscription; advertising and sales departments get the first cut. Most companies are compelled to spend huge amount on advertising in print and electronic media. The PR companies have to work on tighter budgets with maximum mileage.

Americans are getting jobless. Countries like India and China are suffering. They have become the major outsourcing patches for the US. Cheap goods manufactured in Thailand, China, and other poor countries have hitherto relied on the dollar power for sustenance.

But to our surprise, the ecommerce industry isn’t showing that much of slow down. It’s actually growing in strength, despite the recession. There are examples of retailers thriving in recession as Wal-Mart Stores, Target, Aeropostale, Family Dollar, Dollar General and Costco Wholesale. They have proved resistant to this recession.

Wal-Mart has succeeded by drawing newly thrifty customers away from their regular stores with its relatively low prices. Now it seems that some of Wal-Mart’s customers may be shopping at even cheaper stores.

Aeropostale’s performance was even more impressive than its capability to maintain sales growth at its existing stores. The company has grown sales 17% this year and improved its margins.

Similarly, there are many examples to talk about and one of the best examples is of LAN Services.  The organization has shown a tremendous growth in recruiting number of employees and selling its marvelous ecommerce product called RMS Cart, fighting against the worst effects of recession.

LAN Services is capable enough to launch an ecommerce website in a very short span of time. It can automate the process of uploading inventory, updating prices and downloading orders. All of these could be done within fraction of seconds.

The company has recently launched a Recession Buster Promotion.  It’s offering free website hosting for six months for all RMS cart installations. This allows an RMS cart customer to save $474 over six months. The retailers can invest this money towards marketing the website and generating traffic.
