Top Trends in Digital Marketing

Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is always changing and evolving, You can increase visibility and organic traffic through SEO, and build a brand.

Do you know Online Retailers Are Losing 67.45% of Sales

You’re losing money. We haven’t even met, yet I know this because the data supports it; that each and every day you’re losing potential orders on your website.

Cart abandonment causes online retailers a great deal of pain. How much pain? 

For every 100 potential customers, 67 of them will leave without purchasing. How much would your revenues increase if you were capturing those sales instead of losing them?

Let’s look at a quick example. If you’re currently making $15,000/mo in online revenue and could turn just 25% of those abandoned orders into sales, you’d make an extra $45,000 each year.

Digital Marketing

Why Shopper leave without Paying??

Presented with unexpected costs: 56% of shoppers said that being presented with unexpected costs is the reason they leave without completing their purchase. You’ve likely experienced this before. You find an item you want to buy and click Add to Cart. When you decide to checkout you’re presented with additional fees and charges that weren’t clearly listed on the original product page. Not feeling so hot about making the purchase anymore you leave.

Website crashed or was too slow

Price presented in a foreign currency: Most online retailers are now accepting international orders. If you are, it’s important that you display, or provide the ability to show, what the cost will be in the shopper’s local currency.

Approaches to Reducing Shopping Cart Abandonment

There are two ways to deal with shoppers leaving your store before buying. They can be broken down into two groups:

1) Before Cart Abandonment

2) After Cart Abandonment

 Before Cart Abandonment

The Before Cart Abandonment stage is simply when your customer is still on your website. While they are on your site many things can go wrong. But if you follow these steps you’ll be sure to increase the number of customers that complete your checkout process.

Here are 10 steps to make your checkout more effective:

  1. Show Images

Provide clear thumbnails of the actual items the customer is purchasing. Rather than simply having text to describe what they are buying, it’s always better to show an image of the item(s).

  1. Display Security Logos

The Statistia study above showed that 17% of shoppers don’t purchase because they are concerned about security. In a test published by Get Elastic, an online retailer found that by placing a security badge on their site sales increased 4-6%. It’s important to note however that there are other studies that show a decrease when using these logos. So it’s important to test the placement and style when using these.

  1. Test Single Page vs Multi-Page Checkout

Some studies have shown single page to be more effective. Yet other retailers see better results from multi-stage. If you’re going to use multi-page checkout, be sure to include a progress bar that shows the customer how many pages there are and what page they are on in the process.

  1. Make Editing the Cart Easy

Shoppers don’t want to be locked in to the checkout page. If they made a mistake in their selection or need to edit it for some reason make sure it’s easy for them to do so.

  1. Offer Different Payment Methods

Consider offering payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal as well as other payment solutions depending on the audience and demographic you’re targeting. Shop no 47 saw a 15% increase in their checkout process simply by enabling the option to pay with American Express, which wasn’t offered out of the box with their payment processor.

  1. Offer Support

Providing a toll-free telephone number or chat box on the checkout page gives shoppers confidence and eases any concerns they have. Plus if they do have a question it’s better to have them ask it right then and there rather than leaving the site and hoping that they remember to ask the question later and come back.

  1. Avoid Registrations

One of the biggest turnoffs in some checkout processes is being forced to register on the website in order to complete the purchase. A study by User Interface Engineering showed a 45% increase in customer purchases when forced registration was removed from the checkout page.

  1. Offer Free Shipping

A Deloitte study found 69% of shoppers are more likely to shop with online retailers who offer free shipping. And a ComScore study found that 61% of shoppers would quit their order if free shipping wasn’t offered.

  1. Add Testimonials

Unless you’re a well known brand, credibility will be an issue for you. By displaying testimonials and reviews from customers you can help alleviate any concerns shoppers may have.

  1. Offer Price Guarantees and Refunds

Remember that 36% of shoppers don’t complete their purchase because of price. By offering a price guarantee you give the shopper confidence that they’ve found the best deal and have no need to compare prices with your competitors. And by having a clear and practical refund policy you’re adding peace of mind to the shopper’s experience.

After Cart Abandonment

After implementing the changes on your website it’s time to look at what you can do if the shopper still decides to leave without purchasing.We’ll now explore two of the most powerful ways to deal with abandoned carts.

Ad Retargeting

According to AdRoll, a retargeting platform, “2% of shoppers convert on the first visit to an online store. Retargeting brings back the other 98%. Retargeting works by keeping track of people who visit your site and displaying your [retargeting] ads to them as they visit other sites online.”

The above diagram from Retargeter shows how the process works. A shopper comes to your website and leaves without purchasing. You can then use a service like Google Adwords, AdRoll, or Retargeter to display the ads you choose to that shopper as they visit other sites online.

The retargeting ads you display can be as targeted as you want. If a buyer comes to your site to purchase a hat, you can have retargeting ads of that same hat show up when the shopper is on a news or music website for example, as long as those sites accept the ads – and many of the top sites online these days do.

Sample Results

Get Satisfaction used retargeting to increase their ROI 248% over a three month period. Janardhan Silks, a fair-trade fashion retailer, was able to get 30% of non-converting visitors to return to their website through retargeting.

Email Recovery Campaigns

Another way to get shoppers back to your store to complete their order is through email recovery campaigns.Here’s how it works: You setup personalized emails that get sent to the shopper if they don’t complete their purchase.

If you’re using a multi-page checkout it’s easy to get the shoppers name and email address upfront.

You then create a series of 1-3 emails that will get sent out to that shopper at set intervals after they have abandoned the cart and left your site.

The emails should include: Pictures of the item they selected,  Reviews or testimonials from other shoppers, Guarantee and refund policy information, A strong call to action to get them back to your site

Timing the emails: 1st email – should go out within 24 hrs,  2nd email – send within 2 days, 3rd email – send within 1 week

10 Benefits of Online Shopping…Retail Insights will enable with leading platform provider Magento

 
 
1) Convenience: The convenience of this method of shopping is what I like best about it. Where else can you do shopping even a midnight wearing your night suit? You do not have to wait in a line or wait till the shop assistant is ready to help you with your purchases. You can do your shopping in minutes even if you are busy apart from saving time and avoiding crowds. Online shops give us the opportunity to shop 24 x 7 and also reward us with a ‘no pollution’ shopping. There is no better place to buy information products like e-books. Immediately after the payment is made one can download the information. And downloadable items purchased online eliminate the need for any kind of material goods at all.
2) Better Prices: Another thing which fascinates me is the cheap deals and better prices I get from online stores because products come to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middlemen involved. Many online shops offer discount coupons and rebates. Apart from this, the Online Store is only required to collect sales tax if they have a physical location in our state even if we buy from a store across the world.
3) Variety: The choices you can get for products are amazing. One can get several brands and products from different sellers at one place. You can get in on the latest international trends without spending money on airfare. When you shop online, you can shop from retailers in other parts of the country or even the world without being limited by geographic area. These stores offer a far greater selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally. Apart from that, How many times have it happened that you spend your money reaching a local shop only to find that the product you need is out of stock? Some online shops have a provision to accept orders without stock and ship it across to you when the stock becomes available. You also have the option of taking your business to another online store where the product is available.
4) Send Gifts: Online Shopping makes sending gifts to relatives and friends easy, no matter where ever they stay. Now there is no need of making distance an excuse for not sending a gift on occasions like Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, Marriage, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day etc.
5) Fewer Expenses: Many times when we opt for conventional shopping we tend to spend a lot more than the required shopping expenses on things like eating out, traveling, impulsive shopping etc.
6) Comparison of Prices: Online shops make comparison and research of products and prices possible. Online stores also give you the ability to share information and reviews with other shoppers who have firsthand experience with a product or retailer.
7) Crowds: If you are like me, you would like to avoid the crowds when you do the shopping. Especially during Festivals and Special events the crowds can really give a head ache. Crowds force us to do a hurried shopping most of the time. For me grumpy or irritating people and those who smell bad are a huge turn off. Crowds also create a problem when it comes to finding a parking place nearby where you want to shop and going back to your vehicle later loaded with shopping bags.
8) Compulsive Shopping: Many times when we go out on Shopping we end up buying things which we do not require because of the shop keepers up selling skills. Sometimes we even compromise on our choices because of the lack of choices in those shops.
9) Buying Old or unused Stuff at low prices: Online Shops make it possible for us to buy old or unused stuff at rock bottom prices. If we want to buy antiques there is no better options than online stores.
10) Discreet Purchases: Some things are better done in privacy. Online shops are also best for discreet purchases like adult toys, sexy lingerie and so on. Online Shops enable me to purchase under garments and lingerie without the embarrassment that there are several people watching me and my choices.
