5 ways to increase the sales of your online store this 2015

The year just started and it's that time when it's good to

make changes and improvements to your business. As an online store you always want to increase your sales and making the right moves or changes this 2015 can help you do just that. Here are five ways to improve the sales of your online store this year;

1. Improve your product photos

  Investing on product photography can help you more than you think. Photos allow your customers to see the products that you are selling and will be a crucial factor on their judging whether or not they buy your product. A good photo can make a good impression while a shabby one will give a negative effect.  A product photograph that is clear and well-lit will make your item look great and more appealing to buyers.

2. Be clear with Prices

   The most common reason for customers who cancel or abort their purchase after adding items to a shopping cart is the unexpected charges that appear after they have made the decision to buy. Make sure that prices and charges are easily visible to clients and are easily understood so that when they make the decision to buy items from your store they clearly know how much they are going to be charged for it.

3. Recommend products that are related to items they are viewing

   By showing other items that are related to the product they are viewing, users will have a faster time buying or browsing items that they might like. This equates to a better shopping experience for your customers. A good benefit in helping customers discover other items that they might like is the increased chance on additional purchases. When a customer intends to buy just 1 item and end up buying a few more because they liked the related products recommended to them which they wouldn't have found otherwise had it not been for that feature.

4. Make your store easy to use on mobile devices.

  More than 50 percent of eCommerce traffic is from mobile devices. This is where an investment on a responsive website will pay dividends. By getting ahead of your competitors in this area, you put your business at the forefront of this new avenue of online shopping. A responsive web design will resize it's content to fit the smaller screens of mobile phones and tablets, and have images and texts large enough to be easily readable by users.

5. Improve your website's speed performance

  There are many factors that can cause your

online store to perform slowly for your customers. It could be a slow connection from their end, coding, third party tools, or it could be that your hosting plan cannot handle the amount of transactions processed by your online store in it's busiest times.Investing on a faster and better performing hosting plan can increase your sales and provide a better shopping experience to your clients.
