Webshop Design costs are usually higher than non-eCommerce ones and B2B sites. Because eCommerce sites require more technical features such as - online payment system, push notifications and CTA campaigns, product catalogue, software integration for logistics and supply management, and so so much more. And that is a valid reason why most Danish eCommerce business owners choose to appoint web designers and developers in foreign countries, where the cost is comparatively cheaper.
Now, remote services are
something that the Digital Industry has utilised to the fullest. It works. And
it works for good. But despite the cost advantages, there can be drawbacks, for
example, language problems or communication gaps due to varying time zones,
plus the most significant factor is to drive out the country's economy! So here
is a thought - about the best part of partnering with a local Webshop Design Agency.
Local Outreach - Savings Vs. Returns
While most digital
marketing services work remotely, it is justified to get professionals from
Upwork or partner with a globally operating web bureau in a different country
if it means a reduced cost. But consider evaluating if your wise investment is
bringing expected returns.
Of course, we are in the
age of globalisation, and cross-border business partnerships encourage broader
social development.
But for eCommerce
businesses, in particular, local outreach is imperative until and unless the
site offers worldwide shipping. A local web developer would relate to the local
customer base more typically than the research-oriented, technically correct
relevances delivered by foreign web developers.
Nothing Beats Face to
Face Communication
Another aspect is
Personal Communication, which could prove detrimental to the prospects of an
eCommerce business.
Some business owners are
wary about sharing sensitive issues on chats or through video calls. If you
want to develop a close working relationship with the agency, face to face
communication is the best. And if in-person communication is what you are
looking for, you should hire a business partner in your area.
Your Morning Is Their Morning, No
Timezone Troubles
Imagine sending an
urgent message in the morning and getting a reply in the evening! Timezone
problems are common between cross-border business partnerships, but when it is
a payment error it can be a serious threat to your business if you get a
negative customer with the most adverse words.
So Not only does
geographical proximity allow for more face-to-face interaction, but an agency
close to you may not have the essential capabilities for your project, in which
case you should contact a bureau further away.
