3 Crucial Elements For Jumping Sales Numbers

If you're looking to boost your sales numbers, there are three crucial elements to take into account:

-Ecommerce Strategy 

-eCommerce Design

-Email Marketing Strategy

The first thing you need to do is figure out your ecommerce strategy. What kind of products are you selling? What kind of payment options do you offer? Will you be carrying a wide range or a more specialized selection? It's also important that your store design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, email marketing can help build relationships with customers and remind them about promotions and upcoming events. If used correctly, email marketing is one of the most powerful tools for boosting sales numbers.

So, the next time you're thinking about how to boost your sales numbers, refer back to these three crucial elements. Start small by implementing a couple of these strategies before eventually planning a complete overhaul. 

Ecommerce Strategy: The basic fundamentals of running an ecommerce store go hand in hand with increasing your sales numbers. Think about inventory management, payment systems, shipping and everyday customer service. Research what works best for your store and be selective about which payment options you use. For example, if you sell only one item per month, it might not make sense to offer eCheckout or PayPal as an option while if you sell products in a larger quantity each month then those types of services may be beneficial. Also, it's very important that you have an easy to navigate website. When your customers are browsing, they should feel comfortable and not overwhelmed by unnecessary features. So remember the basics of ecommerce strategy: Think about what your store specializes in and what payment options you offer and make sure your design is functional and clean.

Ecommerce Design: Your chosen ecommerce design will dictate how much customers trust you as a seller but also how aesthetically pleasing your store is. Customers want to be able to trust the credibility of online sellers but they also want to be confident in their purchases. This means using quality images with product information that provides insight into the creation process, pricing points, the materials used and even shipping policies. Continue to research trends in ecommerce design so that your store will fit into today's market. You can start by looking at today's top sellers like Etsy, Zappos and Amazon and then browsing the newest trends on Behance and Dribbble. If you're still unsure as to whether your ecommerce design is aesthetically pleasing, don't hesitate to ask a professional on how you can improve.

eCommerce Design:   I've been doing a lot of research on what's trending in ecommerce from an aesthetic standpoint. I think that one of the biggest trends right now is the use of typography for headings and titles for products. I saw a lot of sites that were using a lot of white space and weren't using type in their designs. I also noticed that the more prominent elements of the design were what was sold, which was typically the items pictures, pricing and brand names. In terms of colors, I've seen a few sites use bright primary colors like red, blue or yellow but I think it would be better to use more subdued colors like black or white. A lot of designs also used bold fonts for headings like "Buy Now!" but I think it's better to use a lighter font for this because it can seem to be over-the-top in what you're saying. Also, usually I don't find a lot of ecommerce websites using the same fonts throughout their site. They tend to use certain fonts for headings and certain ones for product descriptions.

Email Marketing Strategy: Email is one of the most effective ways to drive customers back to your site and remind them about previous purchases. More than half of all web-based businesses have found that email is their most significant way to build customer relationships so it's important that you implement effective email marketing techniques. As a rule of thumb, email marketing has proven time and time again that it's not just about sending emails; it's also about tracking, testing, refining and monitoring.

I am the owner of many ecommerce sites and have been successful in getting my products to market, such as my work with PiBoIdee (piboidee.blogspot.com).  I had a hard time finding someone who could help me give or sell my product online until I found Lori, who was recommended to me by a friend of mine. I was very lucky to find someone who was willing to do some special things for me and for my products. I got a big discount on the cost of the item, which I have to say is amazing because it could have been a lot more if I went with other companies. She also did amazing work on my websites, which included my own logo and the text on everything about them (the title of my blog, and the title of each product), as well as giving me an amazing rate and my own professional web designer (Bryan) who helped me put together these beautiful sites.

I met Lori through the internet just like most people would do when looking for a good web designer or ecommerce website developer. I would like to tell you about the experience I had with Lori, and hopefully this will be helpful for anyone who is looking to get a website built. It's so hard to find a good ecommerce site developer because there are so many people out there who are scammers and are just trying to take your money. It's even harder when you don't have pieces of information on how to select one. I'm here because I want to help people who need my help, and that's why I'm writing this article today.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find a reference to it being answered. The thing is, I want to go eCommerce myself, with my own store and website. The problem is that I don't know how to go about choosing a web designer and a good WordPress theme. I've tried coming here and asking on the internet but most of what I read just sounded like marketing hype, not real advice that people with experience could offer.
