In a smart move, Getprice have introduced a category bidding system for their customers.

Now, if you want to appear at the top of a category or search, you can bid more to appear there. With enough customers feeding products to the site now (they say 1.5 million products online), this is a move that should enable them to generate more revenue.

Running an online business more often than not involves trying to automate and save costs. The online world is generally a very competitive one so any edge you can get is a good one. When a business is shipping 10 orders a day, making an extra $1 per order in profit starts to add up!

Usually, your largest cost as a business is staff, or staff time. When calculated per hour of effort, staff are expensive. In Australia and other developed countries, taking on a new staff member is a big decision as the cost is high and that staff member will really have to assist in growing the business or at the very least, perform well enough to save time and effort for you, so you can focus on growing your business.

International labour has been used for many years now for telesales, IT support, and general customer support for many industries. And this is becoming prevalent in online retail businesses worldwide too. Some of Australia's largest and highest profile retailers use some international services and labour.

So, what about your own online business?

CASE STUDY Sue Rice swimwear - suerice.com.au

The bio

The internet is truly a level playing field. Whether a multi national corporate or a budding upstart, the barriers of entry to the internet are very low.  Ask Sue Rice, a Sydney based swim wear designer, manufacturer, retailer and wholesaler, who has harnessed and leveraged the online channel with much success.


Sue’s tale epitomises multi channel retailing, entrepreneurship and innovation. Oh, I almost forgot to mention a little special ingredient required – passion!
Sue started out studying design in Melbourne but was persuaded by “a weary stick in the mud teacher sans taste” to study textile design. At Sue’s first job at a carpet designer, in her own words she “woke up”. She moved to Sydney believing that Sydneysiders with their passion for the water might be convinced to spend more time in her Lycra. Soon the halls of David Jones were decked in Sue Rice swimsuits. Encouraged no end, she began to enter contests and sell to other department stores and take photos of models in swimsuits and life became a fabric frenzy.
