Still dreaming for your online shop?
Are you a person running your business by taking orders through WhatsApp or Facebook?
Very well, then this post is just for you!
Let me start by making a guess!
You are a person who has all the comforts at your disposal, yet didn’t choose that. You chose not to while away your time idling at home and follow your passion.To give something, something out there, that you believe you can do justice to. You end up starting a small business with it. And you, just by your effort, have toiled so much to grow a community of customers.
By now, you would’ve realised that the real challenge lies not in starting a business but in holding up the customer base that you’ve built for yourself. But, have you ever realised that there are little hidden things out there that hinder your business growth?
For instance let’s put you in your customer’s shoes and look further. Even to know what all you sell, she has to go through lots and lots of posts, comments, photos of happy customers, customer reviews, milestone thumbs ups, festival wishes, and repeated posts. Imagine the difficulty that she might have faced in finding a product that she exactly wants.
In a world where marketers enhance the customer experience with one touch shopping, your customers are willing to do the extra work and even like to be part of your WhatsApp community.
It is tougher on your side as well. You could do a lot of creative thinking in the time that you spend in consolidating all your orders from Facebook and WhatsApp.

Who knows how many potential customers you lost because they had to spend time and effort to shop with you. The online solutions that help you setup an online shop are costly. You naturally would evaluate your profit margin in a month when there are very less sales.
If you approach a developer that hand crafts a customised solution for you, you would have to shed lots of money upfront. You would have to pay the price even without knowing if the price is worth it.
We at Aalam have a solution at hand, that helps
- Retain the convenience that Facebook and WhatsApp offers in uploading your product information and maintaining your shop.
- Simplify the process of collecting and reviewing orders, inventory management, invoice and accounts management.
- Putting up a neat online shop that gives a rich shopping experience to your shoppers.
- Customers pay and get refunds easily.
