What does Pure-Ecommerce.com do?
Pure-Ecommerce builds and sells ready to go ecommerce businesses in a box. We create a great domain name, design a site around it, travel to the trade shows across the US and establish relationships with the vendors. We then load up all the approved products, do some initial search engine optimization work and then sell the site.
Once we sell the site we work with the client to ensure they feel confident moving forward. Ecommerce provides a 40 hour step by step ecommerce consulting and training program. During the consulting process we go over every area we know you need to be trained in to run a successful ecommerce business.
During this consulting process we take you step by step through every aspect of setting up, running, and then growing your online business through a very methodical 10 step consulting process.
We also offer custom turnkey website packages. This is where you come to us with your idea or concept and we take your idea from conception to completion. We essentially build for you a complete ready to go business in a box based on your idea.
What is a turnkey website or a business in box?
A turnkey business is a business in a box. Pure-Ecommerce designs and builds the website. Each site is created around a different theme and targets a different market. We then contact the vendors and establish the relationships. Once the relationships are established we load up the products onto the site. Once the site is loaded we begin our search engine optimization work. Essentially, we create a complete business in a box, ready to turn over to the client. Once purchased we then work one on one with the client taking them step by step through every aspect of setting up, running, and then growing their site. So you receive a complete website ready to go along with a personal mentor to hold your hand and teach you along the way.
What is a custom turn Key website versus one you currently have for sale?
A custom turnkey website is where you come to us with your idea or concept. We build you a complete business in a box based on exactly what you’re looking for. You can choose from our different price packages or we can create a custom quote based on the exact services you are looking for. By going this route you get to choose your design, products and vendors. You do play a bigger role in the building of the site however; you start from scratch so you will not have any rankings in Google.
Do I have to carry inventory?
No, all of our sites carry dropped shipped products, which mean you hold no inventory. All of your products are shipped directly from the manufacturer. We acquire our vendors by traveling to trade shows across the US and establishing relationships with them for you. Once the site is yours you are able to add or delete products to the site as you see fit. We do build businesses that can carry inventory as well.
Can I carry inventory if I want or in the future add inventory?
Absolutely, you can add inventory anytime. You could consider adding inventory down the road once you start producing an income or you can simply stay a drop ship internet business.
Can I remove product or add new lines?
Yes, our hope is that you will continue to grow your business by adding new product lines. During step 3 of the consulting process, the vendor step, we go over how to deal with, find and contact vendors. We teach you how to go about finding new vendors so you will be equipped with the knowledge on how to grow your business. Remember, once you purchase the site it is yours. You can add, take away, or move around products as you see fit.
How does the consulting work?
With each site you will receive up to 40 hours of ecommerce consulting. Ecommerce works one on one with you taking you through every aspect of setting up, running, and growing your online business. We do so through a proven 10 step mentoring process. The mentoring process touches on every area a first time online business owner needs to be proficient in to run a successful ecommerce business. It is our goal to help you become an online business success.
Consultations are done via the phone, email, and instant messaging. We work at your pace during the consulting process. You will also have access to our Elearning Library. In the library you will be able to check your steps, additional learning materials, resources, webinars, etc. By having this access it allows you additional training that you can do on your own.
What are the markups on your product lines you acquire?
Most of the products have 100% markups, sometimes slightly more, sometimes slightly less. The margins depend on the area of trade you enter into. We attend trade shows across the US and choose product lines that are trendy, stylish, and highly sought after. Most of our products are very celebrity driven. We encourage you to ask us directly what the margins are for the particular industry you have interest in.
Can I change the pricing?
Definitely-one of the immediate tasks we suggest you tend to after you purchase your turn key website is to analyze the pricing. You need to request pricing info from each of your vendors and compare it to the pricing you have on your site. Make sure it fits with your business plan.
What if I decide to do a custom turnkey website-how long does that take to build?
It usually takes between 8-10 weeks to complete your site. The consulting process is done at your pace. You have up to 12 months to use your consulting time. If you need more time an extension can be written into the agreement.
What’s the difference between doing a custom turnkey versus buying an existing turnkey and why is it less money to do a custom turnkey versus a site that is done?
With a custom turnkey site you’re more involved in the process which means more work on your end. With that said, you will get to dictate your design, choose your vendors and choose your products.
If you purchase one of our for sale turnkey sites, you’re very close to being ready to go. Depending on where the site is in terms of completion you can be up and running in 2-3 weeks.
Also, Google loves time and our turn key sites have been sitting for a while earning rankings in the search engines. As you can see some of our sites have page ranks of 1 and up, so this is an added bonus. If you do a custom turnkey site you’re starting from scratch with the search engines and it will take some time to build up your rankings. On the flip side doing a custom costs less money, and you can dictate how you want the design completed and play a role in the vendors chosen for the site. We are happy to help determine which option is best for you
Once I purchase can I change things up on the turn key website?
Once you purchase, you can change, delete, move around, and add to the site as you see fit. The site is yours completely you can do whatever you desire. We do suggest you consult with us on any major changes.
What can I expect my monthly costs to be?
You will have on average:
- Hosting $12.95
- Merchant Account $30.00
- 800 Number $5.00 per month average
- Newsletter $5.00 per month average
Who maintains the site after I purchase?
You do and we give you the tools to do so. During the consulting process we teach you how to work the back end, check orders, add categories, add content, add pages, etc. The only area we don’t consult on is web design. We do not go over coding, how to design sites, how to change the design on your site, etc. You will need a web designer to do this part. We do have 3 designers on staff that can help you for an additional cost.
You will find it is very easy to work the back end-that is why we choose this particular cart. It’s very user friendly and extremely easy to use. If you need changes to your design you would contact your designer.
If I am too busy to run the website-do you offer any additional services that would assist us in the running of our website business?
Yes, we offer search engine optimization services, product loading, ad words management and additional consulting services. We can also create a monthly service plan that assists you in the running of your site if you’re too busy to get to the daily operations of running your business.
What is drop shipping?
Drop shipping is quite a simple process. Once you get an order on your website you send it to your vendor. The vendor then fills the order and ships it directly to your customer. The vendor then charges your card. This process allows you to hold no inventory.
How do you make money on the order?
You may charge your customer $500.00 for a bed. The vendor charges you $250.00 for the bed. Your profit is $250.00 minus any drop ship fee if applicable. (This is only an example)

How does the 1-800 number work exactly? Will I have to get another line put in the house?
The customer calls the number and receives a recorded message. The message is then emailed to you. You can listen to the message right through your computer. You then call them back when you’re ready. You don't need an extra phone line. You can call back from any phone line.
What other equipment will I need? Will I need to purchase a fax machine? Is any additional software needed to run my business?
A computer, printer, and QuickBooks pro down the road to keep up with the accounting of your business. Some vendors you work with will ask you to fax documents, but as long as you have a scanner you will be able to save the document and send it to them via email.
After purchasing the website how long will it be before it can start running and taking orders?
If the site you’re interested in is completed then you can be up and taking orders in about 1-2 weeks. It really depends on how quick you can get through steps 1 & 2. Once you complete step 2 you’re ready to go!
