Get the right supplier
The first step in starting your online stationery store is to get the right supplier for you. Pricing, supply management, quality of goods - there’s a lot to be looked into while looking for suppliers. While keeping the price as low as you can, make sure you pick a supplier who is fairly known in the market so that there are no surprises later on. And you should also make sure to finalise the time tables well in advance so that you don’t get stuck with orders while having no goods to supply.

Design your website
Once you have your business plan in place, the next step should be to get up your own website. You could go to freelance web designers or agencies who’ll take care of the whole design, copy and building aspect of your website. Make sure that the website should reflect your business values to make sure that it stands out from the herd.

Sort out the shipping
Once you have everything set up, you need to start thinking about how you’ll ship the items to your customers. If you don’t have a good delivery partner, a lot of things can go wrong with your delivery. Your good could end up being damaged in transit or you could overstep your delivery dates with unnecessary delays. All of these things lead to a less than desirable experience for your customers so make sure you take a lot of care while choosing a delivery executive.

Set up a payment gateway
Cash deliveries can be cumbersome and time consuming for online orders. Which is why you need to be setting up a payment gateway for your customers to be able to manage quick and easy transactions. The more payment methods you incorporate, the more accessible you make your shopping experience. Netbanking, cash wallets, credit and debit cards, we recommend incorporating them all!

No one’s going to come to know about your online store if you don’t promote it. Once you have your online stationery shop set up, make social media pages for your brand and link them on your website. Experiment with pop up counters in flea markets and collaborate with influencers and online artists. There are SO many ways you could promote your brand and your business these days, so don’t let it slide.
