- 2. Tips for a Successful ECommerce competitor First impressions are crucial to a brand. In e commerce, your first impression is often the homepage. The design choices you make could determine if visitors continue shopping or leave your site entirely. Knowing the important role of the homepage is key to creating a thriving online store. 1) Get visitors off your homepage This may seem to contradict the sentence above, but it’s true. You want visitors to make purchases, and unless you’re only selling one product, those purchases won’t be made on the homepage Your homepage needs to offer clear navigation and a great flow to keep the user intrigued enough to discover more. 2) Don’t overwhelm the user We’ve all heard arguments of whether or not you should keep all of your site’s important content above the fold. Regardless of where you stand, the fact remains that the greatest visibility of a page is the topmost portion of it.
- 3. 3) Know your audience Before making design decisions, dive into your analytics and learn more about your customers. What browsers or devices are they using? What search terms did they use to find you? What products or categories are most popular? Knowing this information will help you display the most relevant content on your homepage. 4) Be memorable What makes your store a better place to buy than Amazon, Walmart, or a competitor? If a customer makes a purchase, what’s going to encourage them to make another one? The homepage is a great place to display your competitive advantage, personality, or something really cool and unique about your business. Leave a lasting impression and give your homepage some soul!
- 4. Don’t include everything It’s tempting to fit everything on the homepage, but keep in mind that too much can be overwhelming. It competes with the most important content and reduces its effectiveness. Starting with a mobile design can help prioritize what’s really important. If you have a lot of required content, “chunking” things into groups of 5–7 can make the page easier to scan. Here are some mobile A/B testing tips to help design mobile-optimized experiences. 1. Removing the background: Notice something particular about the product page, but can’t figure out what it might be? Harry’s uses photography techniques to remove the background on their product shots. This looks absolutely beautiful when displaying products in a set - like in the Winston Set. It makes the product page completely seamless and clean for a potential customer to navigate.
- 5. 2. Informative shipping details: Shipping is one of the things that can make or break a sale. Studies have shown that shipping and handling fees are the number one factor in cart abandonment. Having shipping information listed directly within your product description can be particularly beneficial, and Harry’s does this perfectly. It’s straight and to the point by saying their rates, as well as where they ship to. 3. Holiday themed: Tiny tweaks and adjustments to your page like modifying your cart to a sleigh for the holiday season is something that can add a bit of fun to your products. Although it doesn’t add any additional functionality perse, it's a fun tweak any storeowner can make.
