CBD Shopping Cart – Brings Home The Money
Getting the best CBD shopping cart is as critical to your online CBD business as selling the best CBD products.
In fact, some might argue that having a high risk shopping cart is even more important than the CBD products because it really doesn’t matter how good your CBD products are if you cannot sell them to anyone.
I settle somewhere in the middle because selling mediocre products through a great shopping cart still mean you’re going to struggle as a long term business. Sure, you’ll make your sales to new customers but the real key to your CBD business success is the ability to get people into auto-ship subscriptions and follow up sales of new products and this will never happen if your CBD products are not top quality.
Conversely, top quality products that are hard to buy will also severely hinder your CBD business. Too many factors are involved with every purchase transaction, especially the first sale to a new customer.
This first sale is always the most difficult and any glitch in the process, anything that makes the purchase process more difficult, is going to result in a lost customer.
Besides making the checkout process simple and straight forward, what other factors are needed that will separate a basic shopping cart from a non-stop selling machine that brings in the cash while you’re sleeping?
- Auto-Billing / Subscriptions – Recurring billing is the holy grail of business success so it’s absolutely critical that your CBD shopping cart provides limitless recurring billing options.
- Free Trials – Nothing builds trust and reduces risk like a free trial of your product but unless you’re the size of Proctor and Gamble, it’s hard to pay the bills by giving things away. You need to have a trial system that allows you to give products away but then automatically charges the customer after a defined period of time i.e. “Try it free for 14-days and if you don’t love it, just ship the empty bottle back to us and pay nothing. But if you decide to keep the product, we’ll automatically bill you for $39 and ship you new bottle every 30-days”.
- Re-Billing / New Order System – Selling to existing customers is always cheaper and easier than finding new customers. It’s even easier when they can call from their car and simply place a new order without the need to provide credit card or billing information. The easier you make it for them, the more they will order – guaranteed!
- Clean and Simple Order Forms – KISS… we all know this theory but too many fail to live by this philosophy and end up changing their customers away to their competitors that did make it simple.
Even things like displaying the “coupon code” field can cost customers as they leave the order process in the hunt for a coupon. This needs to be configurable, with a simple click of the mouse, to ensure these coupon fields only appear when you’re actually promoting your CBD products with a coupon. Otherwise, keep them hidden to avoid losing the “coupon hunters”. - Upselling Systems – Using a high-risk shopping cart is important but the real risk you face as a CBD merchant is to not maximize each transaction volume with every customer. It’s absolutely critical that your shopping cart has an industry-leading one-time-offer system that puts more dollars into every cart transaction.
Business is all about mitigating and managing your risks. When you start your CBD business, make sure you partner with a high-risk shopping cart system that actually understands your industry and wants your business.
Many shopping carts for high-risk merchants will claim they want your business until the first “hiccup”, or complaint, and then you find yourself quickly cut off from your business and livelihood.
CloudNet360 is the high risk shopping cart partner you need to make your CBD business into the success you deserve.
How to Choose a Merchant Account and Shopping Cart for Your CBD Business?
Cannabidiol merchant account and a cannabidiol shopping cart, that are both “friendly” to the cannabidiol industry, are the 2 foundational e-commerce items that every cannabidiol (CBD) business needs …or you will not be in business for very long.
There are easy solutions to resolve your need for a CBD friendly merchant account that integrates with a CBD friendly shopping cart but before I cover this area, I need to address the flip side of the merchant account equation.
The hazards of “cheating” with cannabidiol are severe.
Think of your CBD business in the same way you think of driving your car every day to work.
When you’re driving on a crowded road, and close enough to the speed limit, the police never bother you… or even take notice of your existence.
There’s even been a few days where you’re running late and needed to speed to “make up” time and get to work on time. Chances are in your favor that you’re not going to get a ticket for going 10 MPH over the speed limit and stay mostly in the middle lane.
But… after years of diligently grinding away at the office, you finally earn that coveted VP position and reward yourself with that shiny red convertible sports car, with the big V8 engine, and you start driving your dream car to work.
Suddenly you discover that every time you go over the speed limit, even when everyone else is speeding right along with your, you’re the one getting pulled over and given the ticket.
Get just a little too “exuberant” with your right foot on the gas and suddenly it’s no longer just a ticket …you watch as your shiny new car is dogged by a long cable onto the back of a flatbed truck while you’re sittingin the back of a squad car getting a “ride” to the station.
This is exactly what happens when you inadvertently choose the wrong cannabidiol merchant account or try to slide under the radar with a merchant account you know is not suited for your CBD business.
When you start your CBD business, you can use your existing merchant account, or any new merchant account (as long as you do not disclose the full extent of your product line) but the minute you start achieving success with your CBD business, that’s when it all comes crashing down like a 45 pound dumbbell off of a 6-story roof top gym landing smack dab on your head.
Instant death!
