Are Business Cards Dead?

Business cards have become the favorite classic business item for the latest social media influencers to denigrate. People like Gary V have proclaimed that business cards are dead, useless… going the way of the fax machine and landline.

But like the death of “snail mail”, which has flourished instead of dying off, the ubiquitous business card serves a vital purpose and likely will continue for the next several decades until some form of AI makes this important business tool obsolete.

Will Shopify Shut Down Your CBD Business?

It’s an interesting question an entrepreneur asks when they start their CBD business, “Will my shopping cart shut me down?”.

      • Is the gun loaded?
      • Did they pack my parachute correctly? 
      • I wonder if this rope will hold? 
      • Did the mechanic check the brakes after installing them? 
      • Should I pet that junkyard dog?

So many questions you really shouldn’t need to even ask.

When you’re starting your CBD business, the last thing you should wonder is if your shopping cart is CBD friendly or if you’re going to wake up one morning with the dreaded email telling you that your shopping cart has been shut down and all your outstanding sales money has been frozen until further notice.

Pouring your hard-earned cash, and the last ounce of energy into your CBD business should be enough risk without the added risk of choosing the wrong business partner just because they work well for “other” industries.

Because you’re definitely not “other” industries! You’re a very specific industry and your shopping cart needs to work for you!

The same way that buying a Prius as a business car might be a great idea for an accountant but when you’re working in the construction field, it’s going to cost you a lot of business when you can’t get your tools to the work site and get the job done.

After all, would you rather hire the company called “Jim’s Roofing Specialists” or “Bob’s General Services” to replace the roofon your business?

One company knows roofs inside and out while the other tells you “we can figure it out”.

The choice is obvious the same way that choosing a CBD friendly shopping cart is obvious if you’re a CBD business. Here’s how you make the obvious choice.

Choose the shopping cart that:

Invites vs allows CBD businesses

Has active partnerships with CBD companies that provide services to the CBD industry

Is already integrated with CBD merchant accounts

Can actually help you get your new CBD business started

Understands why CBD is such a great product that helps so many people

Choosing the correct CBD friendly shopping cart is as easy as deciding on a pick-up truck vs a Prius. One is “purpose-built” for the job while the other is going to struggle, cause your business to suffer and quickly need to be replaced.

Take a 30-day test drive of CloudNet360 to discover what it feels like to be with a CBD friendly shopping cart that wants and values your business.

Shopify might let you in the door, but you’ll always be the dinner guest sitting at the “small table”. With CloudNet360, you’ll sit at the head of the table receiving 5-star service.

Selling CBD Oil on Shopify vs CloudNet360

Should you use Shopify to sell CBD oil or should you use CloudNet360 to sell your CBD oil?

This is a common question and for good reason.

Shopify is arguably the largest pure “shopping cart” option for small business e-commerce so it seems like the logical first choice for a CBD seller. After all, most people setting up their CBD shop are small businesses so why not use what so many other people use to sell their products?

This is a great question and there are several reasons why you do not always want to use the “most popular” item for every purpose.

The Ford F150 is the top-selling vehicle in the USA but for many people, a giant, lumbering, gas-guzzling vehicle is simply not going to be the best option for their transportation needs. Especially when you’re commuting to a job downtown, a full size pick up truck is more of a liability than a smaller economy car that not only saves money on gas but also allows you to fit in the parking garages.

Choosing Shopify for selling CBD oils, gummies, etc. is not just a bad option, it could ruin your entire business.

Shopify is not a CBD friendly platform and has already shut down more than a few businesses because they did not approve of the CBD content in the products being sold.

Conversely, CloudNet360 is a small business platform that actually welcomes CBD customers and has never shut down a business selling CBD products legally.

With Shopify, you may need to receive “approval” from them before you’re cleared to sell your products while CloudNet360 has never exercised this requirement. If it’s legal and ethical, you can sell it on the CloudNet360 platform.

So what do you need to sacrifice when you use CloudNet360 as a Shopify alternative for CBD sales?

This question is actually backward because CloudNet360 may not be the biggest e-commerce platform from an overall sales perspective but CloudNet360 is by far the most complete and most powerful automated sales system for CBD products.

With everything built-in and working as a single cohesive system, you’ll be able to sell more, increase your average transaction dollar volume, and boost your follow up sales to existing CBD customers in ways that Shopify has never offered and likely never will offer.

Shopify will always be a good e-commerce system for general merchandise but if you’re not selling T-shirts, candles, or other generic products… if you’re selling cutting edge health products like CBD, you need to build your business on a cutting edge platform that understands your market and welcomes the business you’re in.

If you’re starting your CBD business or looking for sales automation to take your existing CBD business to the next level, then take CloudNet360 for a 30-day test drive today and see what a difference it makes to be wanted and not just tolerated.

You’ll even receive amazing live support during the trial period to help you through every step of the process.

CBD Shopping Cart | High Risk Shopping Cart

Your CBD shopping cart is the critical link to running a successful CBD business. When you’re in a “high risk” business, you need to build the foundation of your sales process on a “high-risk shopping cart” or everything else you do to create success is going to come to a grinding halt.

Without the ability to process orders, there’s simply no way you can actually be in business… CBD or otherwise!

There’s only one thing worse than not finding a good high-risk CBD shopping cart to start your business and that’s creating a highly successful CBD business selling and shipping 10’s of thousands of dollars in product each month just to have your shopping cart pull the plug on your business.

Yes… this happens all the time!

Many shopping cart systems will claim to be “CBD friendly” until you discover that you somehow “violated their terms of service” and then your business is shut down without notice followed by the lost sales, recurring subscriptions halted and often your previous week’s sales dollars frozen for 6 to 18 months.

If you think landing in “Facebook jail” for 30-days is devastating, wait until your shopping cart shuts you down. Imagine waking up to your business literally gone from the world, destroyed from within while you slept.

There is nothing more devastating to a successful business than to have this happen.

Fortunately, there are easy ways to avoid this pain.

The simple key is to build your CBD business foundation with tools, mentors, and a shopping cart platform that not only claims to “accept” CBD business customers but actually welcomes them. A shopping cart platform that not only welcomes CBD customers but actively pursues them as a core part of their customer base and business model.

Imagine the difference between a shopping cart that “accepts” you and one that “pursues” you as a customer. Your CBD business will be no less “married” to your shopping cart than a husband and wife are married to each other.

When the best man gives the dinner speech after the wedding, does the bride really want to hear that she was “accepted” or that she was “pursued”? Does she want to hear that they”ll be married forever or until there’s an obscure “violation of terms” that she never heard of and that he will terminate the relationship without notice and he’s going to keep all her “stuff” for 6 to 18 months while she’s forced to find a way to live on her own without money?

This is literally the difference between the average shopping cart and a partner in your CBD business like CloudNet360.com.

When you place your CBD business on the CloudNet360 shopping cart/sales system, not only will you receive industry-leading sales automation, you’ll rest easy at night knowing that your business will still be “in business” when you wake each morning.

Your recurring billing will always continue to deposit cash in your bank account day in and day out and new customers will experience a smooth e-commerce experience from product selection through check out.

If you’re looking for a way to turn a “high-risk shopping cart” into a “no risk” solution, then CloudNet360 has your answer. Take a 30-day trial today and see the amazing difference for yourself.
