Why We Like Yahoo Store for Online Retailers

There's a very simple reason we often recommend Yahoo Store for our small business clients. Yahoo Merchant Solutions is the biggest eCommerce hosting service, and they've been at it the longest.

Yahoo serves over 100,000 small business clients. Their size brings many advantages:
  • Their servers are reliable and secure.
  • Their sites load fast and deliver pages quickly.
  • Their shopping cart is absolutely streamlined
    and state-of-the-art.
  • Their brand makes your customers feel secure.
Online shopping is considered an everyday fact of life for most people. This means, we ALL now compete with JCPenney, Target, other huge brand names. Customers expect your site to work as well as the big stores.

Yet, many small businesses and entrepreneurs use off-brand hosting services and "free" shopping carts in an attempt to reduce costs. What they really do is "save" themselves out of customers.

More than half of all online customers leave Websites AFTER putting items in the shopping cart, but BEFORE buying them. They start to have doubts about security. They don't understand how to get through the shopping cart. The pages load too slow. This doesn't happen with clients who host at Yahoo. And the funny thing is that Yahoo Small Business Store hosting fees are the same as everyone else's!

What Yahoo does require is specific knowledge of their proprietary store building program (RTML). This special programming language is what makes Yahoo Store sites so fast, so reliable, streamlined and bulletproof. There are only a handful of companies who have taken the time to develop expertise with Yahoo Store -- and Internet-Compass is one of those.

Finally, perhaps the best thing about Yahoo Stores, is that Internet-Compass can build them in a way that lets clients run them entirely on their own. We show you how to use a simple, powerful control panel to change ANYTHING on your site that you may want to edit or modify over the course of time. We've never seen a client move off of Yahoo Store -- it's that good.
