And they easily get restless if they are made to wait. They want things quick, and they want a lot of options.\n\nSo if you are running an ecommerce store, or are planning to start one, you need to offer them more than just great products, you\u2019ve got to engage them and give them an exhilarating shopping experience. You want your target audience to buy from you, and you\u2019ve got to work on shopping experience to make them want to come again, and again…\n\nSo coming back to the original question, here are the key points you need to focus on what can ecommerce businesses do to help ensure that the online shopping experience is a pleasant one? Following are 12 ways to create a customer experience that will have consumers buying from you \u2013 and coming back for more.\n

1. Reduce Website Load Time<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis particular point has been talked and discussed a lot of time, and still many ecommerce websites fall prey to web pages that take an eternity to load. \u201cBut it\u2019s just a matter of seconds!\u201d you say? That\u2019s right, it\u2019s just a matter of seconds that can make or break the deal for you.\n\nThe age of internet calls for speed, and if you are complying with it, you are losing your customers to other websites. Quick loading web pages are the key to deliver good user experience. People don\u2019t like to wait anymore, especially when the market is full of options. Speed up; use web compatible image sizes that offer good resolution without putting load on your server.\n

2. Navigation<\/strong><\/h2>\nTo have a website that loads quickly is a prerequisite, but there\u2019s no point working only on speed if your customers have difficulty in figuring out where to go from one web page to another. To ease things for them, invest in a good site search mechanism.\n\nThere\u2019s one more thing you can, and must do: guided navigation for the first time and irregular visitors. Ease of navigations is one of the major purchase drivers<\/a><\/strong> in an online purchase. Give them a brief walkthrough of your website so that they know how to search for something on your website, how to place and order and how to make payments.\n

3. Pay Special Attention to the Content<\/strong><\/h2>\nFrom product catalog to business policies (return\/refund, order cancellation), everything that goes on your website is content. Even a small fragment of misplaced or misinterpreted content can ruin your customers\u2019 shopping experience.\n\nAlways be precise and clear with any and all information you share on your website. Proofread your product descriptions before uploading it on a web page. Every single word matters.\n

4. Work on Your Emails<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere are primarily four different types of customers: Potential, New, Loyal and Past. Apart from your newsletters that these customers have signed up for, you need to understand which email must be sent to which customer and at what time. Take a hint from the following scenarios:\n\nEntice Potential customers with offers they can\u2019t refuse through an email. But make sure you don\u2019t send too many offers too often, this method is counterproductive.\n\nSend a welcome mail to your new customers, thanking them for doing business with them, and notify them of any reward that you offer to new customers through the email.\n\nLoyal customers are your real MVPs. Appreciate their loyalty by offering them special loyalty programs along with giving them an early start for any and all upcoming sale. And whenever you send them an email regarding this, mention that this pre-sale offer is valid only for the loyal customers.\n\nRetargeting is especially useful because this category has customers from any of the above categories. Take note of their sales funnel and see where they left; this will help you understand why they left. Address their issues and notify them that it is resolved, and again, make an offer they can\u2019t refuse.\n

5. Tap Buyers\u2019 Emotions<\/strong><\/h2>\nNot every shopper buys things online just because they like to shop. There are various emotions behind many shoppers: impulse, decision making anxiety, need of validation, need to be trendy, for a special occasion; emotions are many, and so are the shoppers.\n\nThe idea is to identify which customer is driven by what emotion, and to approach them with a relevant message.\n

6. High Quality Pictures<\/strong><\/h2>\nMake sure your catalog has high resolution, web compatible images clicked from different angles. If the product you are selling is a wearable item, adding pictures showing a model wearing it can help buyers make a calculated decision.\n\nBlurry and pixelated images drive customers away, and so do large sized images that weigh down a website\u2019s page loading speed. You need to strike the right balance between image clarity, resolution and file size.\n

7. Rich Content Instead of a Lot of Content<\/strong><\/h2>\nRich content helps in the decision making process of a consumer. Be it a potential, new or an existing customer, rich content offers information that a customer wants to know, e.g. user ratings, Meta description, snippets, etc.\n\nA lot of textual content on an ecommerce website can distract consumers from the original intent and hamper the user experience. Never overwhelm your audience with too much information. Always use a neat format to show specifications and product details. Remember, educating customers is important, but doing it the right way is more important.\n

8. Color Psychology<\/strong><\/h2>\nColors play an important role in the buying process. It adds to the overall user experience of your website visitors. Understand what colors support the nature of your business. Here is a color chart to help you understand what different colors mean for your customers.\n

9. Easy To Contact You<\/strong><\/h2>\nFinding your contact information should be easy and absolutely hassle free. The moment people find it hard to contact you; they smell something fishy is going on. Whether it is your phone number, email, or office location, be prompt with your \u201cContact Us\u201d section.\n\nIt would be a good idea to have a dedicated Contact page<\/a><\/strong> so that customers can give you an idea of what their query is about. This way, you\u2019ll be saving a lot of time by already knowing what their issue is, and you can design your approach accordingly.\n

10. Live Chat Support<\/strong><\/h2>\nLive chat support facilitates answering queries instantly and assisting in letting customer make the purchase quickly and easily. Many times a customer abandons a website because they don\u2019t get their questions answered on time. FAQ based chat support that uses AI for answering customer queries are gaining popularity.\n\nThe reason is simple: saving money on human resources and ability to talk to many users simultaneously. Time windows are shortening and people don\u2019t blink twice before moving on to another ecommerce portal. Machine learning<\/a><\/strong> has simplified customer support while making your website more secure and segregating your customer base. It\u2019s time you also invest in it.\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the recent turn of shopping trends, it is seen that customers don\u2019t mind paying for shipping charges or a marginally higher price tag if they like the services and shopping experience with a particular website. Price is no longer a primary deciding factor about whether a sale will happen or not. It\u2019s more about experience now. The points we discussed in this article will help you in delivering an unforgettable shopping experience. Make people want to shop with you, as a wise man once said, \u201cIt\u2019s not about what you tell them, it\u2019s about how you make them feel.\u201d\n
