614.224.6226 614.224.6226Creating a successful Ecommerce web application is all about conversions. It doesn’t matter how many people you can attract to your landing pages. Or what kind of products you upsell, or what your prices are like if you can’t turn visitors into buyers.
Marcy Design is a creative website development company specializing in web design, marketing, advertising and social media. Getting people to finalize purchases can be more difficult than it seems. Competition online is intense, and even well-designed websites need every advantage they can get. With that in mind, below are five easy ways you can increase Ecommerce conversions on your online store.
Firstly, too many Ecommerce sites have been constructed as if they were meant for everyone. Most profitable online stores, on the other hand, aren’t just tilted towards a specific product or industry, but an actual specific type of buyer. The more you know about your customers, the easier it will be for you to zero and on their needs and wants, and to push the “hot buttons” that convince them to make a purchase.
Next, no matter how great your online store is, most buyers are going to be hesitant to purchase something from you the first time they visit. That’s why it’s important you have some kind of lead-capture device (like a newsletter or coupon code) that brings them back later. In fact, you may find that the closing rates for your email newsletters are much, much higher than they are for initial visitors as you increase the size of your mailing list over time.
Many first-time ecommerce entrepreneurs like to target broad, high-traffic keywords with their first advertising campaigns. That’s a big mistake. You don’t necessarily want search phrases that attract the most visitors – you want the ones that convert into finalized sales of the highest rates. Think about what someone who is serious about buying, instead of just looking for information, would search for, and then target your ads towards those terms.
Of course remember that not everyone who wants to make a purchase from your ecommerce site is already familiar with what you have to sell. If there are differences between brands, product groups and so on, why not highlight these in an easy-to-understand buying guide? These don’t only increase conversions they give you unique content that is hard for other online stores to copy.
Numerous studies have shown that money-back guarantees rarely if ever increase returns, even though they do boost sales. That’s because most people will do the research needed to find the right product. But at the critical moment when they decide whether to buy or not, they like having the “safety net” of a satisfaction guarantee, even if they are unlikely to ever take advantage of it.

Order management – Orders are the most important part of any online store, so you get an intuitive order management suite. Here you can manually add edit orders, reduce stock and send email invoices. There’s even a handy order history section detailing when an order changes status.
