4.0. SWOT Analysis

Starting an online store comes with some challenges, especially when it comes to managing the payment portal, shipping goods to various locations, and ensuring that goods are sold cheaper than is obtainable in physical stores. Consulting a business analyst helped us get our SWOT analysis right, and they are as follows;

Strength:

We have a well-coordinated shipping system and our customers can be rest assured that they will have their goods delivered to them in record time. Likewise in other aspects like secured payment platforms, a vast range of products, and excellent customer service culture.

Weakness:

A major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new online retail store and we don’t have the financial capacity to compete with prominent online stores like Jumia. This is when it comes to wider reach and selling products at rock bottom prices as they have been in the market before us.

Opportunities:

The opportunities available to online retail stores are unlimited; as a matter of fact, customers can make purchases from any part of the world. We will ensure that we position our warehouses in targeted countries so as to enable us to cut cost of shipping and maximize the opportunity that is available to us.

Threat:

Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face as an online retailing store is an economic downturn. It is a fact that the economic downturn affects purchasing power. Another threat that may likely confront us are policies set by the government that are unfavorable.

Online retail stores are in the forefront when it comes to retailing goods; it is now very much easier to cover a wide range of customers from all over the world via e-commerce business model.
