Improve your webshop quickly and easily

Improve your webshop quickly and easily

Running a successful webshop is a continuous process of learning and improving. Here are some areas you could consider improving in your own shop.

Product descriptions and images

Make your descriptions detailed and informative. Customers want to know exactly what they are buying, so provide all relevant information. High-quality images are essential too. Consider several views from different angles and, where possible, add a video.

Ask customers or people around you what they think of a product description and which questions remain unanswered. Something obvious to a seller may be completely unfamiliar to a potential customer. Would a question form on the website help?

Customer service

Excellent customer service can turn a one-time buyer into a returning customer. Make yourself easy to reach through several channels, such as email, telephone and social media. You could also add a callback feature to your website: a simple form where visitors leave their phone number is enough.

Search engine optimisation

SEO is essential for attracting website traffic. Use relevant keywords, meta descriptions and image alt text. Add more useful content that interests your audience, for example through a blog.

Newsletters

Stay in touch with existing and potential customers. Newsletters have always been important and remain one of the best ways to improve webshop conversion. If you do not yet have an email list, start building one by adding a registration form to your website. With at least 1,000 subscribers, using that data for marketing purposes may become particularly relevant.

Improving your webshop is an ongoing process. There are hundreds of opportunities to perform better. Many tips apply to every webshop, while others require specific insights and tailored changes.
