The world of online sales is expanding. It is one of the fastest-growing industries in the trading and labor market today. Therefore, more and more stores and chains are setting up Ecommerce websites that will allow them to compete in the market successfully. But, like the real world, and even the online world, there is a need for excellent professionals, led by a website manager, and the obvious question is – how do you choose a website manager?

What is an Ecommerce Website Manager:

As in any physical store there is a general manager who is responsible for the day-to-day running and sales of it. Thus in the online world there is a need for a website manager (yes, a human one – flesh and blood) who will manage, monitor, improve, and market the site so that more and more buyers will be reached, and so that those who come will be satisfied with their purchase and come back for repeating purchases.

    A trade manager is the person responsible for coordinating all site activities and reporting directly to the business owner. In many cases, the business owner also serves as the trade manager, but this is an unhealthy situation as the business owner does not have the time, will and ability to handle the trade site as required, and  that ensures problems and an inability to achieve optimal results.

    What is the role of an eCommerce website manager?

    As a general rule-of-thumb, the job of a website manager will be to take away as much responsibility as possible from the site owners much in the day-to-day management. To understand the trade manager’s areas of responsibility, here is a partial list:

    1. Management of online marketing tools (organic promotion, sponsored promotion, articles and PR).
    2. Site content management (information pages, service pages, blog articles)
    3. Price and inventory management (operations management, price management, dynamic inventory management).
    4. Customer relationship management (customer support, return handling, customer service).
    5. Employee management (direct employee management, supplier management, collaboration management).

    As you can see and understand, this is a significant and highly important role which covers all the activities of the online Ecommerce website. Sometimes, the fate of the site rests entirely on the shoulders of the website manager, and that’s because their actions will determine whether the site will continue to exist and become a serious tier in business activity or whether it is a side-business and meaningless site.

    How to choose an eCommerce webmaster?

    Choosing an e-commerce website manager is similar in its characteristics to choosing a chief marketing manager. That is, it is a position of trust that includes a lot of continuous communication with the company owners and therefore one should look for an employee who will meet the following requirements:

    We mean it, ask us anything!

      • A commerce site manager who will be attentive and have good interpersonal skills.
      • Manages a trading site that will be technological and inspiring.
      • A website manager who is not afraid to withstand temporary loads.
      • A website manager who is willing to roll up their sleeves and work on their own.
      • A website manager who knows how to march the site forward!

      If you choose a professional and serious website manager, you will be able to open a digital branch into the world of tomorrow and it will help you compete with great success. This is because the website manager will perform their many actions and take care of strengthening and establishing the sales infrastructure (managing mailing systems, managing campaigns for remarketing, managing attendance and collaborations) for many customers, and the customers will get used to making their purchases through your website, too. On the other hand, in choosing a medium-level or not enough serious website manager, you may find yourself outside the game at the advanced stages when the majority of the public will start making their purchases online.

      In conclusion,

      Just before you post a job ad for a webmaster, stop and think about who the person you are looking for is.
