Hi guys, i see that all 3 of you have really great businesses and i would love to get advice from you guys regarding my e-commerce business. Given that Singapore is a rather small market and the fact that I am currently in a niche industry (Martial Arts retailer), expanding my business and getting more sales is a problem because there is a huge portion of consumers who love to shop offline as this is an item that they want to feel and try on. Similar to the clothing industry, one of the difficulty in converting sales is cause by the consumers' need to feel the product. The issue becomes more significant when the product that I am selling is a high-ticket purchase ($100 - $500 for a pair of boxing gloves). For local purchases, it is easy to resolve this issue by just having a good refund policy or even a physical store to try on the product. The main issue comes in when I want to expand my outreach internationally to other parts of Asia. Even though Singapore holds the reputation of having high quality product, I feel that it still a major deterrence to purchase a high-ticket item online for international customers. In this situation, what would you guys suggest that I do ? Let me know if you need to know more background about my business. Thank you for all your opinions ! The vast amount of experience you guys have will definitely be helpful for me ! Hope to hear from you guys soon!! This is my website www.muaythaisgshop.com
