May 23rd, 2007 by Joshua Dorkin | Filed under Entrepreneurship, eCommerce.After a TON of work learning about ecommerce, shopping carts, security, vendors, permits, and the law, I am excited to announce that I’m un-officially launching our BiggerPockets Real Estate Investing Store!
The store is now live with a whopping two (2) products available for sale! (hey, we all have to start somewhere)
I’m quite pleased with the current form of our template, and I know as things evolve, our design and navigation will no-doubt, improve! After testing and re-testing our secure cart provider, E-Junkie, I have concluded that we’ve made the right decision in choosing them. This is not to say that I haven’t already found some issues that I’m not completely happy with, however, in comparison to the other solutions that I tested, it does what I need it to. I plan on bringing these minor issues up with the company’s founder, someone that I’ve found to be quite amenable to suggestions.
That said, stop by and check the store out. I’d love some feedback! I’ll be adding new products as time goes on and plan on an official launch, perhaps as early as next month. While we could just go and add every real estate book or product, we will only carry products that either our website’s team or our users have endorsed. This is our commitment to providing quality goods to our users. I think it is what will certainly separate us from our competitors.
Meanwhile, you can also get a dose of free real estate education from our real estate forums (6,500+ extremely helpful members).
Thanks to everyone who has been helpful during this process. I couldn’t have done this without your help.
I think the store looks very nice! I still have yet to test E-Junkie, and am looking forward to hearing more of your experience.
Congrats on getting it setup, and best of luck with it! Keep me updated with everything, it looks good. I really love how easy and clean e-junkie implements.
Anthony & Dave,
Thanks for the thoughts. I’ll certainly be sharing more info about e-Junkie as time goes on.
Congrats on the launch
