10 Pitfalls to AvoidHow to recognize the most common pitfalls with examples

#1

“I need a platform that will let me develop anything I want.”

Do you want to be a technology company or focus on selling your products?

Pick an ecommerce platform that enables your marketing team to scale the business

#2

“I need to be on the platform that my largest competitors are on.”

Shopify can now do things that the big players can do at a fraction of the cost.

#3

Shiny Object Syndrome

Don’t re-platform with the intention of implementing every bell and whistle you’ve

ever imagined

#4

“I want the most unique looking site out there.”

There needs to balance between Design + Conversion

#5

“We must preserve all features!”

Define the features are critical to your business and what brings the most value.

#6

“It has to be perfect when it launches!”

Don’t extend your timeline for features that may not be critical. Outline an MVP, launch it, and build

features over time.

#7

“We can just rely on the newer system to handle it.”

Yes, you are implementing a new ecommerce system, but make sure it

supports your operations.

#8

When you build it they will come!

Don’t forget about the top of the funnel! Focus on attracting the right customers!

#9

Don’t sweat the small stuff

80% of your revenue will come from 20% of your feature list.

#10

Thinking that features will work

Don’t think it, prove it with data. Become data driven.
