How To Increase Sales Of My E-Commerce Site?

1. Use social media marketing

Let's admit it we all are living on our phones and screens and people spend their nights simply scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms. 

That's why promoting your business on social media platforms is super important. You can save lakhs of rupees on traditional advertisements by simply choosing online advertising platforms such as Meta ads, and Google ads. 

You can use social media marketing to increase brand awareness, educate audiences about your product, increase followers, and encourage customers to click through to your website.

2. Website should be easy to navigate

Every renowned E-commerce store has one thing in common and that is its simplicity, make sure your website is easy to navigate, Overall design should clearly indicate the branding, and all the products need to be highlighted in a good way. 

Also, the visuals must be high quality to appeal to consumers. In short design, branding, product pages, and checkout pages should be top-notch.

3. Targeting Is Totally Wrong

Majorly sales part of e-commerce is heavily dependent on paid advertising but not everyone is a master of it, by this I mean let's say you have a Facebook ads expert in your team who manages your campaigns but cannot generate good sales. 

The reason is very simple, before you launch an ad right targeting plays a vital role in it. But what do I mean by right targeting? Right targeting consists a groups of people who resonate with your product, their shopping preferences are mostly online, also demographics play a major role when it comes to right targeting.

4. Improving Your Funnel

To sell anything to a new audience requires a certain pathway but not everyone knows about it, take it on yourself how do you purchase anything? 

First, you see the awareness ad then you forget then again you see the second ad in which they describe the product and pricing it's when you become impulsive or interested but again you leave the item in the cart. 

This is the time when things become interesting again you see the last ad which makes the conversion. So next time when you go live make sure to create a funnel to make your campaign successful.

5. After Sale Tactics

Once you get the customer don't ask them to buy your another product again instead focus on nurturing or educating them about your brand and products.

  • SMS Marketing: Through this you can share about new arrivals, coupons, trending styles, and a lot more. SMS marketing is always been the most authentic yet valuable source to connect with customers.
  • Newsletter: The newsletter has a higher opening rate because it seems like a genuine piece of information. Suppose you sell sneakers and then start giving insights about new styles, color combinations, and patterns. You can educate your audience to increase engagement effortlessly.

6. Creating A Community

Building a community is super important to sell anything organically because you can't always be dependent on paid advertising methods. For example, I run a digital marketing agency and obviously, we have a team of Facebook ads experts who can market my recently launched E-book on Facebook ads. 

As of now, we haven't run a single campaign but I have sold more than 1000 copies just because of the community of thousands of people. That's the magic of community!

7. Creating Bundles

Big companies like McDonald's came up with this idea to gather multiple items at one place and named it bundle. Same strategy you can use to help your customers, and when the customer feels happy then orders come back to back. 

Bundling enables you to sell more and decrease marketing and distribution cost, Instead of marketing individual product bundling helps you to go in a single run with multiple products.

8. Creating Discount Offers

We all love discounted prices and new offers, no matter which business you are in, giving several offers to customers increases engagement and good returns. 

If it a season of festivals then start festive offers with high quality ads to make it more appealing. You can take inspiration from big brands like Myntra, amazon or Meesho if you belong to clothing category.

9. Whatsapp Marketing

As per the study, very few percentages of ecommerce website visitors convert into customer, almost 50% of people leave their orders in cart and never buy it again, it's very clear that bringing customers on your website is not enough, and here comes a catch using WhatsApp in your ecommerce can get a you a more sales compared to Email/SMS marketing.

WhatsApp have a open rate of 98% no other methods can come closer to this one whenever we get emails or sms we tend to to ignore it but when somebody pings you on WhatsApp you leave the things aside and open WhatsApp as fast as possible, it seems very personalised even I don't know why!

If you implement these strategies, I am 100% sure you will see a change in your e-commerce store and hike in your sales. Make sure to leave a comment below with the queries you have!

Until then, Happy Digital Learning 😍
