Automating Your Store with Shopify and Synclogic
Starting an online fashion boutique can be as simple as signing on with a trusted fashion drop shipper and selling their clothes on social platforms, like Facebook, Insta or TikTok. But to scale and automate your business, consider investing in Shopify and Synclogic, which together create a dynamic platform for growth.
Why Shopify?
Shopify is considered one of the best e-commerce platforms on the market, and for many reasons. First, there is a wide variety of plans to choose from to fit your needs, starting with a basic plan to the most advanced plan for enterprise business. Shopify is a secure and trusted platform that offers around the clock support via phone, email or online chat. Within Shopify’s site, there are also many tutorials and guides to help with any aspect of your business, as well as all the tools you need for operations, POS, invoicing, website set up, analytics and much more.
Once your Shopify site is up and running, you can pull reports for tracking purposes. These reports entail taxes collected, sales numbers, inventory tracking, cost of goods sold, net sales, gross sales, discounts and much more.
Choosing a Theme
Within Shopify, there are hundreds of options to make your site customizable to your brand! From free plans to paid plans, choosing the best theme to fit your needs is important. In the boutique world, we find the Dawn free theme and the Icon paid theme to fit all these needs.
Once you’ve chosen your theme, you can then follow the given template and layout to design it yourself or you can hire help, like Bloom Dropship, who now offers a Website Build for $299, including one free month of membership!
Connecting with Social Media
Shopify allows direct integration and connection with most social media platforms. Using the third-party apps, available to Shopify users only, you can connect your Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok.
You can also use App builders within the Shopify app store to help create your very own mobile app!
Why Dropship?
Dropshipping is leading the way in the boutique industry; and for one very important reason. It’s RISK FREE! So, what does that mean? You only pay for what you sell! While Bloom's full-service plan does have a monthly fee, there is so much more that is included that you’ll find the fee to be next to nothing.
With Dropshipping, there is no upfront inventory cost, no storage and no product sourcing. Once we source the product for you, we provide you with professional modeled photography, written product descriptions and a customized marketing kit for each weekly fashion launch. Our dropshipping program does all the behind-the-scenes work for you, leaving you time for what only YOU can do, be the face of your boutique!
What Is Synclogic?
Synclogic is a third-party app available to Shopify users only. It allows the direct integration from one store to another, i.e. Bloom to you. Synclogic keeps track of inventory in real time amongst anyone using Bloom Dropship, integrates all the photos and product descriptions, and the pricing from your “parent” store. It then alerts the parent store when you have an order, places that order for you and sends you an invoice. Synclogic does the middle work for you.
How to Scale and Grow Business
So how does Shopify and Synclogic help you grow and scale your business? That’s an easy answer: this automated system does the behind the scenes work for you, allowing you time to focus on selling, social media, marketing, and advertising. Grow your customer base by allowing shoppers to like, know and trust you by building a state-of-the-art online presence.
So, what are you waiting for? Let the power of Shopify and Synclogic help grow and simplify your boutique!
