• Define what you want your conversion to mean for you—signing up on an email list, creating an account, signing up for a loyalty program, actual buying, etc.
• Give online customers all the information they need to make a buying decision and feel confident that they made the right decision (what does it look like, texture, color, dimensions, what will it look like in my home, can I finance it). This will help with cart abandonment.
• Customer Data Platform: helps you integrate customer data into your current database from online platforms.
• Track the customer journey with your store through their first engagement through the website to email to purchase.
• Keep customers active on your website by inspiring them with suggested products to prevent dead-ends. It will up the ticket and actual sale.
• Have a chat feature on your site to answer customer questions and provide information to buy.
• If you can, have dedicated salespeople to help with online/website/email responses. It can increase sales and lead follow-up and create brand loyalists.
• Give them something on your site that they haven’t seen anywhere else. Don’t just throw out the same old manufacture pictures. Be unique!
