18 Jul 3 Easy Ways to Increase Sales Online
It’s puzzling. A shopper peruses your site and adds item after item to their online cart, only to abandon their purchase.
According to multichannelmerchant, about 70% of shoppers abandon their online shopping carts before completing purchases. So the good news is that people are visiting your website and learning about your products. And the other good news is there’s incredible opportunity to increase sales online.
Here are three things you can do to get customers through the checkout process.
1. Integrate Intuitive Design
Psychologist and researcher Dr. Elizabeth Sillence found that 94% of people who reported dissatisfaction with a website attributed their displeasure to poor design.
It might be time to give your website a makeover. Make sure your navigation is well-organized, and of course, includes a prominent “add to cart” or “buy now” button on every product page.
Sites that appear cluttered or outdated quickly frustrate shoppers. They may even give up and go to your competition in search of an easier buying experience.
2. Include Product Reviews
Odds are you’ve browsed Yelp photos and reviews before trying a new restaurant. In the Information Age, we trust fellow consumers to help us know what to expect from a product or service.
Increase trust and transparency by including user reviews and photos on your product descriptions. These should go beyond product specs, and include things like fit, material quality and durability.

3. Implement Single-Page Checkout
Single page checkout saves time, not to mention frustration caused by the spinning wheel of death. You can make the process even easier by encouraging buyers to open an account on your site, saving their personal and payment details for future purchases.
