Case Study #4 - BuckaBall
Background
Buck A Ball.com offers high quality, hard
to find sporting goods equipment.
In the two years since our launch, we have grown to more
than 10 suppliers and have serviced more than 6,000 customers.
Why did you choose EcommerceTemplates?
Our web designer had used ECT before to set up ecommerce shops for clients, but it was the way the list of features matched up with our needs that sold us. We needed multiple payment option (PayPal, 2Checkout, Purchase Order, Check/Money Order), the ability to set shipping costs buy product (some of our larger items ship freight), discounts for volume sales, email notification of supplier so even if an order comes in overnight the supplier knows about it at the start of the next business day, and more!
How long did it take to set up your store?
We got the information (CD's with images,
Excel sheets with product
information) from our supplier. Our designer started setting
up the shop.
The site went live in less than four days and the funny
part is, we actually took in our first sale while we were
still tweaking the site design!
What has been the biggest challenge?
The biggest challenge has been scaling the business. In two years we have had rave reviews from customers and suppliers alike. We are converting a high percentage of visitors into customers so we just need to keep getting the word out about Buck A Ball.com.
How are sales / projected sales going?
We launched in June of 2005. We averaged about $1,000 a month in sales until the holiday shopping season hit. Since then we have been averaging about 20 times that a month.
