Virtual Shoppers: How to improve your Website and increase sales

E-commerce is becoming more and more popular nowadays. People buy almost everything through Internet: books, clothes, furniture, electronics, etc. But it is a fact that some Web sites are more trustworthy than others.

How to make your website more attractive and reliable? Here there are some tips. Let’s see!

Above all, make sure that customers have access to detail information about products. This includes sizes, colors and prices. Don’t forget to include shipping costs, guarantees and taxes. People can get really annoyed if they find out that they have to pay more at the end of the transaction. If things are not clear since the beginning they will probably choose another company on their next transaction. You don’t want that to occur, do you?

E-commerce can appear as cold and distant. Try being personal with your customers! Make them fell as if they are actually at your store interacting with you. Answer their doubts by e-mail immediately or even better have live assistance at your Web site.

Once you finish your sale and the product was delivered, it is recommendable to measure customers’ satisfaction. A good alternative is to send them a short survey asking them what they think about your service and check if they had any problems or if they have any suggestions. Just a couple of standard questions where they can review and rate your products or services. You can also give them the option of answering open questions to give more specific details. This is important for two reasons. Firstly, because you can make an evaluation of your service and improve your weak points. Secondly, —and even more important— new visitors can notice good references of other people and trust in you to make their first purchase.

Keep in mind that making a survey is not enough; if there is a problem, you have to solve it, or your customers will feel disappointed: they are looking for solutions!
