The faster it is, the better. Your visitors will be able to see everything that you have to offer, and they can browse through the web pages of your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at ease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ideal loading speed of an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be between one to three seconds. If your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes longer than that to load, expect most of your visitors, if not all, will leave and look for other\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that sell similar products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tools you can use to find out how fast does your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> loads:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pagespeed.web.dev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google PageSpeed Insights<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tools.pingdom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pingdom Website Speed Test<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gtmetrix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GTmetrix<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #2: Showcase USP<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first question that digital marketing consultants would usually ask their clients is, \u201cWhat is your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USP here refers to Unique Selling Propositions. Your USP is important to separate you from your competitors. Does your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have something that other e-commerce websites do not have? When visitors visit your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is there something compelling that they would return to visit or buy again?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most e-commerce websites hardly have a USP or are aware they need one. Many of them would attempt to cover a niche, e.g. female corporate female dresses, but fail to highlight what truly makes them stand out from competitors from the same niche.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if a woman named Miss Emerson owns an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that sells female corporate dresses, she can further sharpen her proposition by using \u201cfemale corporate dresses made from the finest silk\u201d. This way, Miss Emerson would differentiate herself from her competitors and make it more memorable for visitors to remember to share it with their friends via word-of-mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #3: Keep The Web Design Simple<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing that you need to focus on is the web design of your e-commerce website. If it does not look appealing, visitors might reconsider shopping from your e-commerce website. Even though everyone knows the saying &#8220;do not judge the book by its cover&#8221;, it is part of human nature to do that subconsciously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only thing you can do to prevent visitors from judging the web design of your e-commerce website is to keep it simple but not dull. A good web design should be visually appealing and persuasive. An e-commerce website that has these qualities tend to have a higher conversion rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, between these two images of an e-commerce website, which one do you think will convert more customers? Modern consumers nowadays will surely choose the first one since the brand showcases how consumers should wear the product they are selling to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34874\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Visually-appealing-web-design.png\" alt=\"Visually appealing web design \" width=\"975\" height=\"658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Visually-appealing-web-design.png 975w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Visually-appealing-web-design-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Visually-appealing-web-design-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Visually-appealing-web-design-378x255.png 378w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34869\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Not-impressive-web-design.png\" alt=\"Not impressive web design \" width=\"920\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Not-impressive-web-design.png 920w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Not-impressive-web-design-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Not-impressive-web-design-768x545.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #4: Use High-Quality Visuals<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image is the crux that will make or break your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since visitors cannot touch or see the product physically when shipping online, include images that showcase the product as clearly and articulately as possible. Even though many e-commerce websites have survived using images solely without text years ago, that will no longer work today. Consumers are getting smarter nowadays, so you need to use high-quality visuals to impress them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides showing the product from different angles, consider adding a zoom feature to all images. Doing so will allow customers to visualise and inspect the product more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GIF below is an example of a zoom feature on high-quality visuals on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34873\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Use-High-Quality-Visuals.gif\" alt=\"Use High Quality Visuals\" width=\"1000\" height=\"458\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #5: Improve The Copy Of Your Content<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from using high-quality visuals on your e-commerce website, you should also improve the copy of your content.

Make sure it provides every information about the product to help potential customers with their shopping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO READ:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/seo-copywriting-how-to-optimise-your-content\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO Copywriting: How To Optimise Your Content?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #6: Easy Web Page Navigation<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going to a brick-and-mortar is the same as visiting an e-commerce website.

If you do not tell the truth about your product or delivery details and get caught by your potential customers, expect them not to trust you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of adding sugar-coating words in the product description and delivery details to nudge your potential customers to make a purchase, you should display honesty at all times. Doing so will help avoid the notion of expectation vs reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The expectation vs reality posts that you have seen on your news feed is not just a meme. Customers are posting them to let others know of the shop where they bought the item, and if that happens to be your e-commerce store, that can ruin your reputation and market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way to prevent that from happening is to be clear and upfront with your product and delivery details. Make sure to also answer honestly when your customers send you an inquiry regarding your products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #8: Allow Shopping On Social Media<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As more people purchase online and the e-commerce industry expands, the concept of online shopping continues to develop. Besides shopping on your e-commerce website alone, allow your potential customers to shop on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Letting them shop in the marketplace that these social media platforms have will help increase your conversion rate because almost everyone uses social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34867\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Facebook-Marketplace.png\" alt=\"Facebook Marketplace \" width=\"516\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Facebook-Marketplace.png 516w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Facebook-Marketplace-300x279.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of going to your e-commerce website, they can browse through your products directly on the social media they are currently using at that time. Doing so helps consumers save time and makes it easier to purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #9: Offers Multiple Discount Coupons<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering multiple discount coupons is another way to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase your conversion rate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is not surprising since most consumers love sales.s<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/941656\/almost-half-of-american-women-shoppers-wont-even-walk-into-a-store-unless-theres-a-sale\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quartz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 45% of shoppers will not consider shopping unless the items are on sale. The only way to cater for this type of consumer is to offer multiple discount coupons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example of how Sephora offers multiple discount coupons to its potential customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34870\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Offering-Discounts.png\" alt=\"Offering Discounts\" width=\"997\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Offering-Discounts.png 1191w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Offering-Discounts-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Offering-Discounts-1024x497.png 1024w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.oom.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Offering-Discounts-768x373.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #10: Optimise For Mobile Devices<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although mobile shopping has already existed before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of mobile shoppers has expanded rapidly in the last two years.

With a faster pace of life, everyone&#8217;s time has become more valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than wasting time filling out personal information on an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-commerce website <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for every purchase, consumers prefer fast checkout, especially if it is an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cart abandonment is more common on e-commerce websites with complicated and lengthy sign-up processes. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/partners\/blog\/reasons-for-an-abandoned-cart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shopify<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the second most common cause for customers abandoning their shopping cart is the inability to create an account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider allowing guests to quickly sign up by using their Google or Facebook page account to create an account to solve this problem. Doing so enables customers to create an account hassle-free and start shopping on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an example from Asian Beauty, an e-commerce store that sells beauty products in Singapore.

The more steps you have in your checkout process, you are less likely to drive conversions on your e-commerce website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do not want to lose that 17% of shoppers, you should simplify your checkout process. And for those shoppers who still choose to abandon their shopper cart on your e-commerce website, you can still target them through remarketing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remarketing is a technique that e-commerce business owners use to allow them to track visitors who have visited their e-commerce website and use web cookies to target them. Your ads will be shown to the customer who visits the other platform which is on the network such as Facebook or Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, after visiting your e-commerce website, a customer logs on to Facebook. If they did not purchase anything, remarketing would remind them about the item that piqued their interest by displaying an ad on their news feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T93A4n8-1kE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #14: Highlight Return &amp; Exchange Policy<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, consumers nowadays are getting smarter.

Doing so will prompt them to check that first and reassure them they will be safe to shop from your e-commerce website<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #15: Provide Multiple Payment Method<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though online shopping is convenient for most consumers, not all think the same. Some consumers prefer multiple payment options which causes them to leave an e-commerce website if their preferred payment option is not available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an e-commerce business owner, know that you cannot please everyone, and the only way you can encourage these consumers to shop is to provide multiple payment\u00a0 options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from credit and debit cards, here are other payment options you can include on your e-commerce website:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital wallet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank transfer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepaid cards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy now, pay later<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cash on delivery\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #16: Suggest More Delivery Options<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides providing multiple payment options, your potential customers will appreciate your e-commerce website more if you can suggest more delivery options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some customers require urgent delivery and based on your service provided, you should cater to this group of customers. For example, florist, quick-service delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can consider adding some of these delivery options for your customer::<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2-day shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same-day delivery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overnight shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expedited shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International shipping<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #17: Add A Review Section<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a review section on each product page helps increase the conversion rate. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/consumerist.com\/2015\/06\/03\/nearly-70-of-consumers-rely-on-online-reviews-before-making-a-purchase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumerist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 70% of online shoppers always check online reviews made by customers who have already purchased the item. Reading reviews gives them invaluable insight, like how the product looks like and what they can expect after purchase..<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides having a review section on each product page on your e-commerce website, you should also encourage your customers to leave feedback on what they have bought. This will create a loop and influence new visitors who are browsing your product for potential conversion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #18: Include Customer Support<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also increase your e-commerce website sales and conversions by including customer support. Letting your customers know that they can reach out to your business will give them more peace of mind to shop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are your options when including customer support on your ecommerce website:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Live chat\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landline number<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #19: Run A Blog Page<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether in person or online, most consumers will only buy something once they have done their research. And the perfect place to find information about the product they have the plan to purchase is from your e-commerce website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though each item you offer has a description on its product page, it is not enough for some consumers. They will need more than the material used, size, and colours to make an informed purchase decision. Pros, cons, and benefits are some information that most consumers are looking for before purchasing. The only way to relay all of them is to write a blog article about each topic and link that to your product. For example, if you are running a fashion brand, you can write a blog on \u2018Styling Tips\u2019 and include your products giving your readers recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Tip #20: Create A Sense Of Urgency<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When time is running out, it is normal for anyone to get tense. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neurosciencemarketing.com\/blog\/articles\/urgency-timer.htm#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neuroscience Marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> even found out that adding a countdown timer to a product page can raise the sense of urgency, resulting in a greater conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So include a countdown timer on your landing page or each product that is on sale to create a sense of urgency and will nudge customers to purchase now, or they will regret not doing so later.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As much as how different everyone is from one another, e-commerce websites are not the same, and so are their customers.
