So, you’ve found an opportunity that you think would be a good fit for an online store. How do you talk about it with clients?
The flexibility and reach of online stores makes them a viable option for many use cases (as discussed in Step 2), and provide incredible benefits (as discussed in Step 1). After identifying a scenario where online stores will be a good fit, the next step is to pitch it to your client or account.
Luckily, an online store solution has a lot to offer, it’s just knowing the right questions to ask, the right benefits to highlight, and the right products to include. Let us show you how!

As we saw in Step 1, online stores are ripe for reaping a lot of benefits for you and your accounts. That said, not every benefit will stand out to every account. Identify a couple solid benefits that will really speak to your client, and hone in on the value added.
Here are a few key online store benefits you could share with clients:
Tip : Show them a sample store! We could talk about online stores all day, but imagine the impact of showing up to a client pitch meeting – not only having a plan in mind – but also an actual online store. Show your clients what their logo and your recommended products could look like on their own online store, and show them your initiative during the pitch. Your attention to detail will be noticed, and clients will see you as a trusted, invested expert. Luckily, with OMG, sample stores are easy to build and free of charge. Here are a few sample stores to help get you started! |
The last thing your client wants to do is sort through bulky catalogues for a specific product. You know what’s best, and you know which direction to guide your client so they’ll be happy with the outcome. Use your expertise to create an incredible experience and show your client that you have their best interest in mind.
