Therefore, you have to first choose which products you want to specialize in and then create your company/business name accordingly. Yet many new entrepreneurs don't understand why focusing on a niche market is still your best bet for success in the computer reseller industry. |
Instead, they insist on trying to sell every single computer hardware and software product on the market, and this is a mistake.

However, this is not the case when it comes to computer products and having a successful computer reseller business.

And that's what most people want, is free information. Most internet storefronts only provide the basic product information yet offer no additional information of help for the customer. Their only interest is to make the sale and send them on their way. This may work some of the time in the short term but in the long term, keeping those customers loyal to your internet business will be worth far more than just making one sale.
Content is still king:
When you focus on building a niche computer product website, you'll be able to write short informative articles online which pertain to your niche market. Then you can add those articles to your website in order to give away free help, free articles, content, tips, trouble shooting guides, tutorials, reviews, opinions, suggestions and more on your specific niche market.

This one feature alone, "free helpful content", will keep your customers coming back to check on your site regularly. And more repeat traffic means more repeat sales. Furthermore, more new traffic means more new sales. And by having sections on your website set apart for informative articles regarding the computer products you’re selling, you will attract a flood of new traffic.
These days, web surfers and web shoppers continue to want and need more information on the products they're looking to purchase online. You can provide this extra help to your customers, and in return, receive targeted and repeat traffic daily. This is why content rich websites sites draw in more traffic than commercial sites. Customers want and need ‘free’ and more information.
