( Do click on the blog shop name to check it out for yourself ;)

Iroiro Handmade Shop

While browsing around for this assignment we found this blog which specializes in handmade accessories from earrings, necklace, hair piece and even handmade cushions!

 Strength : 

1. Because the items they are selling are handmade, they are pretty much unique as you can't get them anywhere else

2. It is a really convenient thing that they had labels at their side column, it saves time for the viewers to search for what they really want

3. The third strength is it is customer friendly because the terms and conditions are well written and not excessively long

Weaknesses :

1. There Cash on Delivery Service is only available in Mid Valley only and it is not convenient for those living outside of Klang Valley

2. We think that the blog is slightly too simple and does not have enough design

      

3. Finally we think that the handmade item that are sewn    should have more detailed and neater stitchings 

Ranking : We give Iroiro handmade blogshop 3 stars !

Make Up Haven Vanity

As we are all girls, we couldn't help but to do some blog-walking on make up products! This  blog offers a variety of make-ups from overseas and also fragrances that are not available here in Malaysia :)

Strength :

1. There's a systematic order form that helps the first time online shoppers to do their purchase which pretty much saves a lot of time

2. They advertises their promotions clearly so customer's know when and what promotion is currently going

3. You can also chat with the owner ( when they are online ) to ask for further inquiries

Weaknesses :

1. There are such a long list of Terms & Conditions which makes it really complicated and confusing

2. There's a really confusing point in which they stated 'COD will be entertained for items more than RM70. 50% deposit required prior to meet-up. COD subjected to availability and ACCORDING to our choice.'    while at another point they stated that ' COD area - not available '

3.  Because some of the items are pre-order, it will take approximately around 4 weeks ( and sometimes more ) for the items to reach Malaysia

Ranking : We give Make up Haven 2 and a half star !

Pumpkin

We must say that we had fallen in love with almost every item there is in this blog! The clothes are very up to date and also very very fashionable. We think this blog is ideal for those who does not shop at malls, because they carry a variety of items from tops, dresses, handbags and also shoes.

Strength : 

1. They have a lot of items in terms of up to date,high quality and attractive garments, bags, and shoes. The owner of the blogshop has a good sense of fashion 

2. Because they have become quite successful in business, they even have customers from overseas which leads them to be able to do international shipping 

3. They have a very detailed description about their clothes. Example like prices, measurement and material of the clothes which makes it easier for the customer to make up their mind

Weaknesses : 

1. The arrangement of the layout makes the blog look a little bit too crowded 

2. The items that they're selling are always out of stock. They should have more stocks to satisfy the market demand

3. They do not provide a specific label and categories at the side column. It is quite hard to find a specific item in the blog

Ranking :We give Pumpkin 5 stars!

A Place for Desserts

Yummy ! The desserts that they offer in this blog looks delicious. We just cannot take our eyes off it ! We all were really tempted to order each and one of their products!

Strength :

1. The desserts in this blog is very tempting, interesting and very mouth watering!

2. They make a special promotion for festive season. For example, they are selling various new types of delicious cookies such as chocolate chip cookies, vanilla sugar cookies and chocolate oatmeal cookies

3. They have a really good background music which is suitable with the blog. 

Weaknesses : 

1. The blog is kind of crowded as they put too many pictures as the background

2. The fonts are too small to read compared to the label of their item

 3. They do not have the latest update. The last one was on 1st May                                   2010

Ranking : We give A Place for Desserts 5 stars!

In conclusion, each and every blog has their own strength and weaknesses. Nothing is perfect but each blog needs to identify their weaknesses and keep improving in order to make their business goes on smoothly. They should make sure that their blog is always up to date to compete with the fast rising online business :)

til the next update,

toodles ~
