We are already in the post covid-19 era and many offline publishing houses and e-commerce businesses have shut-down and people are afraid to roam and shop like before. 

Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are evolving and advancing everyday with new features for its existing and new users, content publishers, e-commerce businesses, companies, and self-employed people. 

All these Tech companies are trying to do is to make the transition from traditional publication houses and traditional retail marketplaces, local market places to online, in the easiest and the quickest manner.

This is where the WordPress comes in the picture, which helps all types of businesses, companies, publishing and media houses with its most up-to-date features to publish content and sell products and services on both social media and search engines at the same time with less effort.

WordPress VIP offers more scalable features than the standard WordPress for publishing/media houses and e-commerce businesses. 

Here is how media/publishing houses and e-commerce businesses have been utilising WordPress CMS and e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce) to achieve their marketing goals and serve their existing customers and acquire new customers and clients online and scale.

To attract media and publishing clients, I’ll share the success stories of media and publishing houses using WordPress VIP across the world then I would say that these are the features they like and that is why these media companies prefer WordPress for publishing and distributing content.

WordPress for e-commerce clients

To attract e-commerce businesses and clients I will explain how WordPress has help thousands of eCommerce businesses and clients across the globe selling products and services using woocommerce which is SEO friendly out of the box and when people launch their store with WordPress woocommerce it becomes easier to rank products on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo and also makes it available on social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and on Google Shopping platform as well.

E-commerce store owners are easily able to create all kinds of content with WordPress that get indexed by search engines automatically. Clients can cross promote their products on the created posts, pages, images, and videos.

WordPress woocommerce features that are talked most about by The e-commerce owners.

  1. WordPress is SEO friendly out the box that makes product/services visible on search engines without hiring an SEO
  2. WordPress gives full control over the system and it is fully customizable and scalable, this meant to customize WordPress store to display the look and feel of your business, which makes your store recognizable, unique and set apart from others. 
  3. WordPress publishes your products on social media channels (facebook, pinterest, instagram), which are now called social shops.
  4. WordPress is already accessibility ready

CMS competing with WordPress and WooCommerce

WordPress is by far the most used CMS out there, however, there are still few traditional competitors like Drupal, Joomla and in recent years Node JS and JavaScript powered CMS like Ghost have appeared and static site generators like Jekyll, GatsbyJS and Hugo, that are being talked about among the developer community. 

But my personal experience has been with Magento and Shopify that are basically WooCommerce competitors. I have also done onpage SEO and created internal links on PrestaShop, OpenCart and a few custom built ecommerce stores.

I migrated one Magento store to woocommerce a few years back and I have optimized a few Shopify stores. 

Both Magento and Shopify have a bit of learning, Shopify does not give full control to the user. You do not get that SEO benefit out of the box like that you get with WordPress and WooCommerce.
