The entrance fees for setting up an internet shop is extremely low if you compared that with setting up a real shop. However, getting business in is the trick. There are thousands of tea sites out there each trying to attract traffic. You have to work your SEO and marketing really well to attract customers. To be effective with that is the real cost. Once you get over that and get real business in, the lower operational overhead for an internet shop becomes a benefit.

I have seen one set up last year and failed miserably, that’s in Hong Kong. I don’t wanna disclose the name and the people behind it maybe angry. They have a small outlet in Central by the escalator, if you know the geography there. You can google that and their site is still up but no real business. Sorry I can’t give the link. They have a pretty looking site, but you see their product structure, pricing, and presentation are so amateurish they are bound to fail since set up.
I can give you links to a few successful ones in the U.S., they dun have great quality products, and the aesthetics are really stupid, but they appeal to the mass, at least for the U.S.:I am planning to set up one. The market for internet shopping for tea is growing despite all other factors. But it’s not a one person game like putting up an auction in eBay. Do your business plan well. I suspect there should be business potential in the Philippines, if that’s where you are.
