How to minimise checkout abandonment

Imagine a shopper has had their eye on one of your products for a really long time. They’ve done all their research, ticked everything off their own internal checklist – they’re ready to go.

Now imagine, for some reason or another, they won’t convert. Can’t bring themselves to do it.

Eventually, they abandon their cart altogether, leaving you (once again!) without a sale.

Checkout abandonment is a common occurrence on the digital shelf, mainly because of the choice customers have nowadays. How are you going to create a sense of certainty with a purchase when they’ve got all this competition staring them in the face?

In this article, we explore what causes checkout abandonment and how you can prevent it from harming your business’s bottom line.

How to make your sales promotions more successful

A difficult part of running any business is attracting customers. Another just as difficult part is retaining them!

There are so many brands out there, operating from brick-and-mortar stores or on the digital shelf, that companies must get creative if they want to succeed. 

Of course, promotions are a great way to unlock your business’s full sales potential. But which ones do you need, and how can they work best for you?

In this article, we look at sales promotions and discover how they can drive shoppers to your brand.

Why is brand visibility important?

Helping your brand become more visible is key to its success on the digital shelf. 

A brand’s visibility directly affects how many people recognise and, more importantly, trust it. The greater the trust for your brand among potential customers, the more likely you are to make gains within the highly competitive ecommerce marketplace.

So, how exactly do you build trust with your target audience through brand visibility?

In this article, we’ll demonstrate how better brand visibility can work wonders for your business’s online presence.

What is a business’s online share of voice?

Every business wonders how much they dominate the conversation in their industry.

That’s what online share of voice can tell them. It’s an important factor for any brand looking to grow on the digital shelf.

So, how do you calculate yours?

In this article, we discuss online share of voice at length, asking what it is, why it is so crucial, and how you can leverage it to make the gains your company needs.

Brand compliance checklist

Some brands you know just by looking at their logos, others from the colours they display.

These businesses are winning at brand compliance for a reason: they’re instantly recognisable! 

But it takes a long time to make your brand memorable for all the right reasons. The question is can you emulate the success of household names through your own digital marketing?

In this article, we show you how to create a brand compliance checklist that, if used correctly, will give your business the boost it needs across the digital shelf.

How to create a digital shelf strategy

Shoppers love looking at things, and if you want your business to succeed, you’d better make sure your products are as appealing across the digital shelf – where they’re housed online – as they are within a physical retail space.

What is product cannibalisation?

As a thriving business, launching products is always an exciting time.

You’ve got the initial anticipation, then the launch date itself, and finally (hopefully) the inflated sales figures that follow.

But some companies experience negative consequences on the digital shelf after releasing the brand-new product they’ve worked so hard to perfect; instead of attracting customers from other brands, they end up stealing sales from themselves. This can be explained through one increasingly common phenomenon: product cannibalisation.

In this article, we look at product cannibalisation in detail, covering what it is, the potential causes and impact, as well as tips on how to avoid making the same mistakes as other businesses.

What is brand compliance?

Never underestimate the power of a clearly aligned brand. Consistency and integration are both key if you want your company to succeed online.

But how do you make your brand ‘compliant’? What are the steps involved?

In this article, we take a closer look at brand compliance and show you ways of boosting your company’s appeal across the digital landscape.

MAP pricing vs MSRP: What’s the difference?

As an e-commerce company, you may find yourself struggling if your pricing isn’t well thought through.

After all, success when operating on the digital shelf means you should already be competitively priced and ready to go.

We appreciate it’s sometimes easier said than done, though. You’ll first need to consider different pricing policies and decide which one is best for your business.

In this article, we look at the debate around MSRP vs MAP pricing and provide a clearer picture of what these two pricing models can offer.
