    Almost every age people check their dresses online but most them are women & men. Whatever you want to sell on online store make sure that would be unique & attractive so that people engage in your store.

    As well, it is good if you'll make your website in Magento platform. Magento has many themes & features which helps you to increase your business sales.

    Hi, I agree with the previous poster. Doing a search for the phrase women's clothing brought up over 100,000,000 results.

    Pricing a customer would like to see and pricing in order for you to make a profit are 2 totally different things. Everyone wants to see the lowest price, but that is not always possible. You just have to be fair to the customer and to yourself where pricing is concerned.

    If you decide to go with a dropshipper, just make sure you are not charged a membership fee. If they do charge a fee, then they are not true dropshippers, but more wholesalers. Also, in the clothing industry, the greater amount of your most price competitive dropshippers will be from the orient. The major problems with that are the cost of shipping, shipping delays, and possible customs problems.

    I do not think special packaging is an issue, unless for special occasions. I believe low shipping costs and quick delivery are more important.

    Hope that helps.

    People want to purchase that stuff which are reliable, on budget & looks better than others. If you are asking about the particular product to sell, so no one can suggest you with a proper reason. It is because everyone buy a product according their preferences, choices & current demands. So, don't be confuse on that point just sell whatever you want. As well, use Magento platform for your ecommerce store.

    I own a order fulfillment company and to be honest all of those areas are so crowded you will spend thousands getting found on Google before you ever make a dime but baby clothes are such a hot sell online a day you can average anywhere from 100 dollars to 20,000 dollars at the end of the day it comes down to your marketing and SEO (Search engine optimization)

    Mostly youth are involved in online shopping. So, arrange your products, brands accordingly.

    Besides this, choose a Magento platform, which is quite demanding to build your an ecommerce online store.

    Magento now is #1 for eCommerce, choosing Magento is a good choice to sell online.

    When building your online store, you if need more features, I suggest a GOOD extension provider:

    I agree with shanaya, Magento is specifically designed for online stores. But like any other CMS it lacks some features. But like any other CMS it lacks some features that you may need. So you can use extensions to widen the opportunities.

    An official library of extensions can be found at http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/

    My favorite extensions developer is Amasty (http://amasty.com/magento-extensions.html)

    As well as having your own online shop, don't forget other channels, such as Amazon, EBay, etc.
