Hope to get some feedback from all the gurus here...

Hi,

A slight introduction about the company I am working in right now. We are a import/export company dealing mainly in seafood. Now we are planning to get our products into the internet.

From my search on the internet, most of products that are selling on the internet are non-food stuff (or maybe I had not done my research too thoroughly). I am not sure of the implications if we put our products on the internet, and therefore I hope the gurus here can give me some comments on why there are not so much of food-related selling on the internet.

Thanks. And keep the comments coming in.

Cheers

perhaps cost of shipping items and keeping them fresh isnt worth it to consumers?

Thanks YMB for your advise.

But if that's the case, what do you suggests that will attract or how can I innovate to attract customers?

I had seen quite a few of B2B websites but I had mixed results when using these B2B websites.

Do you think setting up a company website will be better than subscribing to these B2B websites?

Hope you can help me on this.

Thank you.


Cheers
