This number is projected to increase by 3.1% in 2013. That’s a lot of commerce going on. Oh, and only 47% of the shoppers said they actually enjoyed it. So how will anything make shopping like that ever disappear?

A few days back, one of my friends asked me to help him figure out, how he could send emails to his customers using an address like This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Even I was not aware of how to do such a thing, when I joined this company 10 months back. Thanks to working on NGR Technosys, I was able to help my friend. He was relieved to find that establishing such an email address was very easy and cheap. And he could maintain it on his own.
Further, he wanted to send a marketing email to his customers every month and ensure that it gets delivered. His eyes lit up when I told him, that he could not only track, if the email got delivered, but also track which link (if any) were clicked by the users. This statistics could help him gauge the interest of his customers and help him do better marketing.
As his interest grew, I realized that many businesses have similar desires and difficulties, when it comes to creating an online presence. Hence, I am listing here, an overview to take your company online, the way NGR did (with some improvements).
