E-commerce: how to boost profitability?

 

The US Census Bureau has revealed new statistics which show that e-commerce sales will keep growing. In the United States, it is expected to reach 380 million by 2022 and while the numbers may vary, the situation is going to be the same in other parts of the world. This is exciting news for online merchants. However, considering how the market is competitive, they must introduce strategies to attract clients. A series of articles will look at some of these.

One of the most important things is having a great website. This is because your selling platform is the first part that customers will encounter and as from there, they can decide whether they wish to keep browsing on your site or not. As such, if your online shopping site does not have a clear value proposition that can hold customers’ attention, your bounce rate will increase. To prevent this from happening, you must focus on visual communications since buyers will remember what they have seen.

The presentation of your products and services is also significant. You must display your offerings in a way that captures the attention of clients and generates an interest. You can use images and videos. Another important part is the About Us page of your e-commerce website. The information you present there can convert visitors into customers.
