The domain is not just for a website but for email also.com is the global standard
Choose a name that represents your business, keep things simple for customers to remember, make it easy for users to return
Partner with a reputable web host
Register misspellings and alternatives, increase brand security and prevent fraud
Creating an effective website navigation system is a crucial part of ensuring usability
Avoid generic labels (better for customers, better for SEO)
Too many items not good
Order counts put what customers are most interested in first
Breadcrumbs
Tabs
Drop downs
Navigation
Test your order process to ensure that it takes as
few clicks as possible to make a purchase.
Categorise your products and add keywords and tags
to make it easy to search for them.
Use a clearly organised navigation structure, to keep your visitors from getting lost, confused or intimidated when they open your website.
Online security is clearly integral to any online business.
Keep your customer’s data safe and secure with strong passwords,
and by utilising the professional security provided by Trusted Shops®. (Trusted Shops is the leading seal of approval for online shops in Europe, offering buyer protection for consumers and a rating system for online shops)
All of your customer’s purchasing data will be encryped. You can tell if
any eCommerce website provides this by checking the
domain address in your browser and see a padlock followed
by https://www.
Cover yourself from a legal perspective with clear and accurate legal
text and terms and conditions. You don’t have to write this yourself,
Use templates provided by Trusted Shops® and stay covered
According to a study by Forbes, 78% of salespeople using
social media sell more than those who don’t use social media,
And according to MobStac, 40% of social media users have
purchased an item after sharing it on Twitter, Facebook or
Pinterest.
It’s estimated that a seller using both eBay and
Amazon has the potential to reach up to 270 million
consumers. All major UK retailers including Tesco
and Argos use these platforms.
Increase trust in your brand, and make delivery and
payments even easier.
Customers will expect you to have a presence on
these marketplaces, so don’t disappoint them.
People tend to resist what is forced upon them, so provide customers with a choice of payment options. Major debit and credit cards are an essential aspect of modern commerce, and offering them will add strength and legitimacy to your brand.
When it comes to trading online, people like to know that their payments are secure and safe, which makes PayPal often an essential payment method, as transactions can be traced and disputes rectified.
You can also offer convenient options like instalment payments, cash on delivery, invoices and more.
A lot of customers drop of during the order process because the order process is unclear or over complicated
Maximise your chances to sell by suggesting products related to ones your customer has already expressed an interest in
Use terms like ‘Other people who bought this also bought’
Find out as much about your customers as you can, and
use that data to determine what to up-sell and cross sell
Suggest cheap impulse buys along with your
expensive products
Offer incentives to purchase more, for instance free delivery, money off or additional free products
Bundle certain items together
