2019 Must-Have features for your eCommerce Webstore – Part 1

You really need to work hard towards customer satisfaction by bringing in additional features, which aids conversions, and improving overall eperience of the webstore. Your eCommerce portal needs to stand ahead from other’s ensuring a competitive edge in the market.

As mentioned earlier in the previous blog, these must haves are for any size businesses. It is very imperative that your webstore complies with the requirement that you are investing into for generating business. Every customer that visits your eCommerce site should visit with a particular interest, finding the required information, potential lead for conversions. You also need to get required notifications and reports in order to optimize your webstore continuously.

The trend goes with webstore designs. In fact, they are over focused towards it. I do admit the fact that a neat design will attract visitors but if your site does not generate sales for your eCommerce business, it is not worth the money you have invested. On the other hand, eCommerce solutions providers do not offer all the features for your site to be successful. SEO, Search Media Optimization and lead conversions aren’t add-ons; they need to be the mandatory features for any webstore project.

Content Management

Certainly, you will have noticed that it is the same way at the end of every year! (Seriously, this happens to everyone every year!)

Our recommendation is to follow the right strategy, which you are always following: creating the best products your customers love, high customer engagement and adding new products to keep your users excited.

Ohh, almost forgot, building long-lasting relationships to grow your business higher.

2019 Must-Have features for your eCommerce Webstore – Part 1

There are hundreds of eCommerce solutions providers today, but what features matters the most for you? Let us check it out:

Don’t get too excited! Seems like you have come across these features before, but this is for the newbies who are stepping into the eCommerce world to promote their businesses:

Consequently, one of our clients was boasting about having Magento as their webstore platform. While I proceed further, I have a humble request to the readers. If you feel that a large line of product offering will resolve all your eCommerce needs, you are wrong! Marketing strategies alone won’t help you get anywhere. The webstore features/functionalities are the key for both customers and webstore owners. Being an eCommerce business owner, it’s mandatory that you own the tools to better manage your webstore which includes the admin features that aligns with your business needs. Let’s take an example: when offering payment terms to your client, you need to make sure that the webstore is able to set credit limits for a customer. This is very much possible in contrast to what we are discussing right now with the integration tool, x2x eCommerce.

As a result, when moving into an eCommerce plan, make sure that you have the right features, else, you will regret later!

Important Features

Keep track of your page reach, clicks and other engagement data using Google Analytics. This way, you will be able to change your strategy based on the current situations.

Emailers: Most of the webstores follow email campaigns as a marketing practice. You can create Christmas deal specific email campaigns and send them at regular intervals to attract visitors to your website.

Social Media Adverts: You should be focusing on Pinterest, Instagram along with Facebook. These social media platforms are recommended due to higher traffic and visual appearance. Get in touch with your graphics team to come up with pretty GIFs, videos and target them towards your potential customers.

#2. Setting up a dedicated Seasons’ Greetings Page

Focus on the categories/products that will generate top deals from your webstore for Christmas. You can add snippet or overlays to relevant pages from your website to boost user engagement. Come with attractive page designs and offers and get benefited by creating search advertisements (Google AdWords, Facebook Ads etc.)

#3. 360-degree content based campaigns

On your website/deal page, theme the page with Christmas designs powered by infographics, videos and definitely, posts. You can bring in gifting tips for family audience, fashion, food and beverages etc. Bring in a techie-Christmas feeling to everyone out there!

Once you are done with the page/site, start promoting it via email campaigns and social media pages. It can be added as snippets in your email campaigns and videos/banners can go in social media channels.

#4. Diverting web traffic from the main site

You have already setup SEO for your webstore’s mail page isn’t it? When it’s Christmas, you need to design banners diverting the users to the Christmas deal page. Adding overlays and banners will surely bring in more traffic to such pages instantly.

#5.  Website Performance – 100%!

If you were a customer, wat do you feel if the webstore is a morosely loading platform? Especially during those busy sales like Black Friday, it’s going to be the biggest issue that you should have resolved earlier. Inorder to ensure that your webstore is steady and got higher performance, add a plugin which actually popups a survey in the screen. You will be able to evaluate the website performance better with visitor survey information.

#6. Transparency and Trust

Since it’s X’mas, customers do know very well that you won’t be able to deliver the orders within a day. What disappoints customers is that you have given a false promise and them expecting for it. It’s like you give a tiny asterisks during such announcements. Trust me, it’s a very bad idea!

Instead, run a footer message in the website saying you won’t be able to fulfill the order delivery. You may lose some of the orders, but it won’t compromise customer loyalty and satisfaction.

#7. Choosing the right Integration tool for your webstore and ERP

You got your webstore ready and probably running an ERP in the backend to file the invoices and inventory details. How about exploring a revolutionary solution combining the power of top-notch ERP solutions and Enterprise eCommerce suite? Well, see the benefits for yourself!
