Optimized Landing Pages”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616079345282{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]When you are designing your site and looking for ways to convert ecommerce browsers into buyers, it might help if you think of it as your physical store. Think about how browsing customers want to move through your store to see and experience your products.

For example, what would you put in the font window to entice and draw them in and then what items would you place around to keep the customer shopping.

It’s important to use imagery and text to make the customer experience positive emotions, you want them to feel smart, appreciated, inspired, and excited about your products. Because consumers don’t just buy products “They Buy Better Versions of Themselves”.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616078036981{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Having optimized landing pages for your products that searchers are landing on is also ideal and is a great way to build your keyword ranking. When coming up with your keywords it is important to think about your ideal clients and how they would search for your products. Generally, those who are looking to buy will use transactional keywords in their searches.

Therefore, as an ecommerce store it is important to have transactional words such as, buy, review, products, discount etc. on your landing pages, these words tend to attract and convert the right buyers. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” full_height=”yes” columns_placement=”stretch” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-8-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h5″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”2. Transparency is Key”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616078046532{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Consumers today are craving value and transparency in brands. They are going out of their way to find social proof and doing lots of research before they commit to buying a product.

When consumers are viewing your products they might be apprehensive to buy up front, so it is up to you to reconfirm their decision that this product is best suited for them.

One way of doing so is by including testimonials to your products to help convert these undecided buyers. You may want to also include detailed descriptions of the products. By being transparent about your products and letting real people give real reviews, you are building trust within your brand. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1615575026647{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Other ways to show transparency are by having your refund policy and shipping details easy to find. By having a clear refund policy, and comprehensive shipping information available, customers will be more likely to commit to a purchase. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”7163″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” full_height=”yes” columns_placement=”stretch” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”7167″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-8-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h5″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”3. Personalization”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616078064373{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Creating personalization shopping experience is about creating a particular emotion between the consumer and your brand.

Consumers are more likely to buy when they can better envision how your products will fit into their lives. The more clearly customers can see your products meeting their needs, the more likely they are to make a purchase.

Therefore consumers expect for brands to understand what they’ve bought in the past and help them to determine what they should buy next.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1615575070579{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]While customers are browsing you may want to list similar products, or products that go well with what they are looking at now. By showing similar or more products, the customer may decide to go for a more expensive product  or add more products in their cart then they originally intended. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” full_height=”yes” columns_placement=”stretch” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-8-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h5″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”4. Multi-channel Retailing”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1615575099462{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Today’s consumers shop in a variety of ways, you need to understand their shopping behaviours and journeys in order to maximize the path to purchase. The key to a successful shopping experience is to utilize multiple online channels ie. website, mobile apps, marketplaces and social media.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1615575106366{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Ensure that your market strategies and products are geared toward enabling customers to convert on any channel.

Make Checking Out Easy”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616078078530{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Don’t lose your customers at the very end. It is very important that you have an easy to use checkout system, with a limited amount of steps between the customer adding an item in their cart to actually finishing the purchase. Have a checkout system where you can enter your billing and shipping information (on the same page is ideal).

You also want to have a guest check out, do not oblige customers to register before buying, or you will lose them. Creating a guest checkout will allow you to remove any potential obstacle between you and a new customer.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1615575134080{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Remember, a lot of you customers will use their phones to purchase.
