23、-shirts, sweaters, jeans and etc. But a low sale had continued due to low browsing quantity of the web site, lack of regular customers, poor customer credit degree and so on. I feel it was time to think about making some changes about selling. In order to increase the turnover in a short time, I sou
24、ght advices from some shopkeepers who operated on-line shops successfully. I should make a thorough change on the way of my business.2.2 Problem analysis2.2.1 Situation analysisl Human ResourcesAs the owner, I was in charge of the whole business operating such as purchase, sale and after-sales servi
25、ce. And I had made a contract with fixed express company to send clothes to customers.l Financial SituationThe overall fund for operation was about RMB1000.00 per month. RMB600.00-RMB700.00 was used for purchasing goods. RMB200.00-RMB300.00 was used for the daily working payment including telephone,
26、 the Internet and traffic. The profit was fluctuating per month according to season and holidays. It was between RMB500.00 to RMB1000.l Physical ResourcesA steady network was very important for sale. And I needed to get customers remittance through bank. Express company (Yuantong Express Co., Ltd.)
27、was responsible for sending clothes to customers. A good wholesaler was also in a key status. l Customer ProfileDue to is a Beijing discount forum. Most of my customers were local residents. Among them, 70% was female, nearly 80% was 20-35 years old, and more than half of them were office ladies who
28、 were interested in shopping in the web. And there were also some students. l Social and Political EnvironmentShopping in the web, from dummy to realistic, it still has not a government criterion nowadays. But our government doesnt ignore this area. Bilking in the web is still a kind of crime. The m
29、ost important thing is we do the business with customers based on faith.l Economic FactorsThe on-line-shopping market has been expanded rapidly year by year, which impulses the global economic development. On-line-business takes more and more proportions in the Chinese national economy. l Technologi

31、ce at the Internet will go much smoothly thanks to the future high-techs.2.2.2 Needs and wants analysisIn order to get a clearer idea of the views and opinions of customers about the problem, three focus groups were organized. The questionnaires were worked out through three ways, viz., face-to-face
32、 interviews; e-mail and fax (Please see Appendix I). Three focus groups who were in different ages and careers replied to my questionnaires. According to the statistics by a comprehensive survey, 100% of interviewees had experience of shopping in the web. T was their most favorite online shopping we
33、bsite. People who had regard for the quality of the goods accounted to 60% of total; 40% of total had regard for the price of the goods. Zhifubao and Remittance were the two preferable paying ways. All interviewees agreed that discount was the most acceptable way of sales promotion. QQ, MSN, phone a
34、nd E-Mail took 25% respectively of the preferable contact ways in the course of online shopping. The goods price that customers would accept was shown as that 33% of total chose the price under RMB100; 33% of total chose the price between RMB 100 and RMB 200; and the other 33% chose the price betwee
35、n RMB 200 and RMB 500. Whats more, from the questionnaires, it was found that if a safe shopping environment was offered, the goods quality was good and the price was low, more customers would like to take online shopping as the main channel to buy their favorite costumes. After the research, I got
36、some information about what they needed when they did shopping in the web. And their answers were very useful for me.

41、 had some information about what customers might want in the future. To further understand the current situation so as to get some solution for the problems described above, I carried out a SWOT analysis of the situation, including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The analysis is as
42、 follows:Strengthsl I have plenty of on line time (9:00am-6:00pm in the office, 7:00pm-10:00pm at home).l I can guarantee the quality of each cloth in the shop. l Reasonable price is a strong point to attract customers.l Giving some additional information about how to take care new clothes.Weaknesse
