One of the niche online store I’ve just visited is Wholesale Janitorial Supplies (WJS) online store offering cleaning and janitorial supplies. Let’s explore a bit on this niche online store.

Niche online store case study: Janitorial and cleaning supplies online store.

Janitorial and cleaning supplies online store, such as WJS, sells products and supplies, such as bags, waste bins, personal care products and cleaning agents. This niche is very lucrative, as everybody needs them to maintain the livability of their homes, offices and other buildings.

Of course, you could just buy those supplies in supermarkets or convenience stores, but nothing can beat the convenience of online shipping, especially today.

Convenience

The number one benefit of shopping in an online store is convenience.

By convenience, I mean hassle-free shopping and punctual, as well as accurate, products and supplies delivery, straight to your door step.

Refering to the WJS online store, purchasing a product is a breeze, due to well-arranged categorisation of janitorial and
cleaning supplies. Regarding delivery, they promise to deliver right to customers’ doorstep within 1-3 business days.

Another big issue in hassle-free shopping is checking out. Filling a long registration form and/or completing many steps before purchasing would turn down your potential customers. In WJS case, they have implemented this best practice: 1 page checkout form, with optional registration.

Secure shopping

As in everything in life, every good thing has a bad thing attach to it - The number one concern of shopping in an online store is security.
