Retail E-Commerce: What Determines Who Succeeds?:


NWC Web Television for 2003:

More Powerful
Than
A
Speeding
Locomotive


That's why in this more sophisticated phase of the retail e-commerce game, New World Communications is addressing both the opportunities as well as the challenges of retail e-commerce success with a "net new" suite of more intelligent "Power Triangle" project management services. These services are especially designed to give small businesses we work closely with a significant competitive edge. Check out the link to our "Power Triangle" Project Services page below for more details on all the things we can help you manage, but actually it would be a lot better if we could just sit down together and let us actually show you what we are talking about. Call us today at: 425-844-8908 and let's set something up to get the jump on this great new year.

"Retail E-Commerce", even with a slow economy, and the possibility of a debilitating war with Iraq looming in a not too distant horizon, the numbers for web-based retail sales over the holiday season just passed were surprisingly impressive. And it wasn't just the well- financed, deep-pocketed Amazon.com's of the world who were enjoying the increased web sales this time around. There were also less well-financed smaller businesses making good money, even at better margins too (because of their lower overhead). We ought to know because we work closely with some of them and saw the web orders roll in even while the same people continued to run their "brick-and-mortar" "day job" businesses. (See our recent article about Jeri-Oh's successes in our December '02 newsletter in "Our Newsletter Archives".)

So what determines who succeeds and who doesn't in this still emerging retail e-commerce marketplace? We are firmly convinced that the key to success has to do with working smarter rather than dumber, and not cutting any corners when it comes to intelligent business planning and enlisting the right kind of expertise in several mission critical areas that go way beyond merely having the uninitiated throw up a web page with product pictures and a "shopping cart" on it, or in the case of some, just continuing to run gun-shy with only web presence and no retail e-commerce at all.

It's finally here, affordable web television from New World Communications, and it can make a powerful difference in 2003 when it comes to your own web presence and/or e-storefront. Television as a communications medium, remains in a league all its own because of its awesome power. When the moving color images, the sound, and the storyline all work together, nothing comes close.

In the past, the cost of television equipment and the complicated and expensive production techniques, the restrictive access to broadcast and cablecast venues, and the guild-like skill sets required to produce television worth watching have all allowed the power of television to be enjoyed and exploited only by the privileged few.

Now however, the advent of affordable and highly- improved digital video technology and various webcasting strategies, affords the opportunity of even smaller businesses and grass-roots community-based organizations to be able to take advantage of television's unique communications power, and New World Communications is now making this happen with a new tailor-fit suite of affordable web television services designed to deliver the quality even within a modest web/marketing communications project budget.

The net result is that now in 2003, web television from New World Communications can make a powerful difference on your own web site. CLICK on the image of the locomotive and experience the power of web television yourself in the recent "proof-of-concept" in- store tour we did with our model trains retailer client, Eastside Trains of Kirkland. For more info about how you too can utilize the power of NWC televison on your own web site, call us at 425-844-8908, or e-mail us at ajohn@newworldcom.com

A NWC Wholesale Web Site: The Cost-effective Solution
If you run a wholesale business and haven't successfully moved forward with implementing a password-protected e-commerce web yet, wholesale e-commerce now represents virtually a "net new" business opportunity in 2003, especially since the technology and business solutions have gotten much better now, and far less costly too, even for smaller wholesale businesses.

In the past, if you were a small business wholesaler and wanted to implement a wholesale password-protected e- commerce website, you had to work with an expensive legacy systems developer and an inflexible "one-size must fit all" approach. Even, then the legacy systems developer still had to charge a pricey "customization" fee and exhorbitant web monthly hosting costs to try to recover his own humongous legacy systems technical and support costs, so by the time you got into it, with the costs being so high on both sides, no one could realize a profit. No wonder then that there wasn't much progress made in the area of wholesale e-commerce for small business a few years ago.

Today, in 2003 however, if you are a small business wholesaler now and are still serious about achieving wholesale e-commerce success, the opportunity has improved tremendously. If you work closely with New World Communications now, we can implement a much more cost-effective solution without having to work with a more pricey legacy systems developer at all. Our solutions are also much better and more flexible than the older legacy systems approaches now because we can tailor-fit them to your own business model at a mere fraction of custom software development costs typically charged by legacy systems developers.

The key to our unique cost-effectiveness and superior performance is the remarkable, more readily available and inexpensive modular technology we now use and our more intelligent, comprehensive, power-managed business approach.
Wholesale e-commerce from New World Communications, because the price is now so affordable, can now be a key component in your overall wholesale business strategy for this year with attractive password-protected 24 hour/7 day-a-week online ordering your clientele will greatly appreciate.

"Information Management for Community Resource Development", it's a mouthful to say, but the concept is powerfully simple: manage information to develop important community-based resources. That's what the private sector has been doing with information technology to manage the development of business resources all these years, but now that the technology is much better, and much more affordable, even for community-based organizations, and individuals themselves, it's the public sector's turn now, and New World Communications is going to help make it happen, with its new "Public Sector Services". And with the economy as challenging as it is, we are right on time.

Now that government and charitable foundations, and even individual donors have all cut back in their funding and charitible giving, and media both commercial and public leaves much to be desired in the way of having more diverse local and regional community needs met, it's time for community-based groups and individual stakeholders themselves to get better at marketing and communicating what they are uniquely about. There are some fantastic new technology and applications out there to manage the whole communications process and make a big difference in mission-critical areas like fund-raising, enlisting public support for certain program initiatives and getting the special needs of community-based stakeholders met - contact management/database technologies to manage communications with key people; web development, e-commerce, and distance learning, and web television strategies - to raise funds, recruit volunteers, and create broad-based positive change, locally, regionally, nationally, and even internationally.
