Create a Successful Website That Will Improve Conversion
When you own an e-commerce site, attracting visitors is just as important as achieving the best possible conversion rate. I have collected some useful tips to improve your e-commerce conversion rate.
 
In my previous posts, we have discussed the most popular Blue Ocean strategy examples, if you want some more information on other strategies, feel free to check out Eleken's blog.
 
Test to increase the conversion rate of a website
 
If you already have an e-commerce site, be sure to thoroughly test your web methods and solutions. First, you need to find what to test on your website. Everything can be tested, from the main title and layout to the navigation process. Testing your call-to-action buttons is also important, size alone doesn't matter, choosing the right label is also essential.
 
Don't ask for too many details
 
Online consumers appreciate quick and easy shopping processes, which is why you should try not to ask too much of them. For example, when asking about bank details, it is not mandatory to ask for the consumer's name: it depends on your payment processor. If you can't avoid the consumer name question, you can always avoid asking the family or workplace question.
 
Add social media and registration buttons
 
Most digital marketers admit that social media buttons can significantly increase the conversion rate. When visitors are allowed to use their social media accounts instead of signing up, they are more likely to reach the checkout process. In addition, some consumers like to share their latest purchases on their social network: this can attract more buyers which would lead to a higher conversion rate.
 
Call to action
 
As the owner of an e-commerce website, you should create relevant call-to-action buttons on your web page. Well-designed call-to-action buttons increase the conversion rate, however, it is essential to test them. For example, there can be a big difference between buying and ordering when it comes to conversion. Action words like "Order" instead of "Buy" or "Test" instead of "Get started" are better for your traffic and conversion.
 
Well-built e-commerce site to improve the conversion rate
 
Every detail counts on your e-commerce site. If you want to be successful, you should consider adding recommended products and the remaining stock of your items. Recommended items are useful in order to sell more stock and help consumers find related products more quickly. The number of items remaining in inventory is critical so that buyers can know their options. It would be annoying for an e-commerce site for a consumer to want to buy an item but that could not be done because it is no longer available.
 
Various payment methods for an e-commerce site
 
It might shock you, but not everyone uses Paypal. Consumers prefer to pay by check, credit cards, or bills. In addition, by offering your buyers bonuses during checkout, your conversion rate can benefit. Every now and then when consumers see a bonus field, they try to find a coupon code on Google. During this time, they are not on your website and can bounce back easily.
 
Increase trust and engagement on your merchant site
 
Including consumer reviews for items and a simple refund policy can increase consumer confidence. Buyers also like when a brand is humanized, this can be done via a photo or video on the landing page. This marketing technique can be done with your team or a photogenic person.
A free shipment for the B2C industry and/or a free trial for the B2B industry are effective in converting your website design. If you are giving away something for free, the likelihood that consumers will buy something from you later is high. Not all customers like to call customer service. That’s why any e-commerce site should have a live chat option.
 
In short, when you want to create a successful e-commerce site, every detail is important. You need to analyze and test the process in your sales funnel. This is not just your landing page, but all of the subpages that are essential in order to secure your victory.
