Magento is awesome! We know it; other users know it. But, if you’re still evaluating ecommerce platforms, a claim like that can be hard to swallow.
So, don’t just take our word for it. This is your store, your business, you don’t want to go through the pain choosing the wrong platform is sure to bring. Do your research and check out industry publications, like Website Magazine. In their August issue, Peter Prestipino, Editor-In-Chief, web technology & entrepreneurship speaker, and 14-year web marketing veteran, wrote an article all about e-commerce growth hacking.
Along with providing many useful tips, he touches on platforms and how whatever system you choose needs to be “a near perfect fit” for both your company and your customers. Magento received quite the glowing recommendation (and deservedly so):
“…no e-commerce platform has captured the attention of more Internet retailers than Magento.
The primary reason for its success (Magento now powers upward of 30 percent of all e-commerce sites listed in the Alexa top 1 million) according to Ben Pressley, Magento’s worldwide head of sales, is its total cost of ownership and unique flexibility.
That flexibility, manifested in its Magento Connect community, is arguably the key differentiator as retailers gain access to a variety of added functionality not built into the product’s core – from back and front-end features, to marketing tools for email, search and even social.”
There’s a reason Magento was ranked #1 in the July issue’s list of 50 Top E-Commerce Platforms to Know. When it comes to ecommerce, Magento provides the most robust, flexible platform. It provides the strong foundation your store needs to grow. Plus, the look and feel of your store is completely under your control.
It’s your business, shouldn’t you own every aspect of it?
