eCommerce: Which is more cost effective and profitable?
JQ
JQ
JC Quek, Business Transformer and Shepherd answered:

There are many factors to consider, either to talk to experts to discuss further or you need to build the strategy yourself. The factors can be (but not conclusive):
1. Custom duty and other taxes
2. Movement of the inventory
3. Economic of Quantity
4. Confident of future sales
5. Ability to build correct costing framework
6. Optimal Cash flows model
7. Risk of foreign exchange, warranty, return sales rate, etc

Select your decision-making model and use the factors above to develop an ongoing measurement of the above matter. Monitor this as part of operating activities and make scientific, consistent, and objective management of your business.

I have 4 simple decision making approaches that I use to help 400+ companies grow. If you like to explore this - please feel free to contact me for further discussion.
