Today, we\’ll go through dropshipping ideas to help you boost
your eCommerce conversion rate.
You can boost your online store\’s conversion rate to 2.5
percent or higher in only a few minutes!
These dropshipping tactics might help you start consistently
making more sales if you\’ve attempted eCommerce before but had trouble turning
visitors into customers.
These dropshipping tips can help you get started, even if
you haven\’t launched a store yet. If you\’re new to dropshipping, we recommend
reading our article \”What is Dropshipping?\”
This post is primarily for people who are currently bringing
traffic to their stores with a conversion rate of less than 1.5 percent.
Dropshipping Strategies for Quick
Profits
So, if 100 people visit your website but only 1.5 of them
buy, you probably need to make some changes, especially if you\’re paying for
visitors.
Thankfully, the dropshipping tactics I\’m about to offer you
will help you boost your conversion rate in a matter of minutes.
And if you\’re doing high-ticket drop shipping (i.e.,
products that cost $200-$1000 or more), even a 1% increase can make a
significant difference in your bottom line.
To Your Store, Add Phone Number
Add a phone number to your header, footer, contact, and
about us pages as your first dropshipping advice.
Speaking with suppliers and customers is one of the most
common worries people have when beginning a business. But don\’t be alarmed; the
individuals on the other end of the line are attempting to give you money.
As a full-time work or student, you may despise the idea of
being on the phone all day. However, consumers aren\’t likely to call very
often, and having a phone number establishes credibility with potential
clients.
It\’s generally to place an order when they call. \”I
just wanted to see if you were authentic before I ordered,\” they\’ll
remark.
Please Return All Calls
Because you\’re unlikely to be available at all of the times
indicated on your website, make sure to return any missed calls and voicemails
as soon as possible.
They will find someone else to buy from if you do not return
their calls.
You can go outside if you\’re at work. If you\’re at school, call
back when you get a chance.
Again, most of these people are calling you to ask for
money, so returning their call is worthwhile.
My advice is to use Grasshopper and download their app to
your phone. Customers will be able to call a 1-800 number instead of handing
out your own cell phone information.
But the most important thing is to not be frightened to talk
to individuals because it will increase your earnings.
Privy Exit Intent Should Be Installed
One of the most common blunders people make after acquiring
the proper traffic is letting them depart without obtaining their contact
information.
You\’re missing out on the opportunity to gather your
visitor\’s information and turn them into buyers through email and retargeting if
you don\’t use an exit pop-up.
This is where Privy\’s exit intent pop-up comes in handy.
A pop-up will appear as your visitors are about to leave,
promising a discount:
This allows you to record their contact information in order
to stay in touch with them while also preventing your traffic from leaking out.
Request Feedback From Vendors
It will be difficult to gain sales if you are brand new and
have no testimonials or product reviews.
People are interested in hearing what former customers have
to say about your company and products, which is where social proof comes into
play. You\’ll have lesser conversions overall if you don\’t have nice evaluations
and feedback.
Requesting product reviews from your vendors is the simplest
approach to obtain them. Don\’t contact all of your suppliers; instead,
concentrate on contacting suppliers for the best-selling products.
On their website or on their dealer portal, your suppliers
should already have a database of these. They should be able to give you with
information for your product pages.
The best part is that most of your competitors will not be
doing this, giving you an advantage.
Request Unique Product Photos From
Suppliers
Make sure to ask your suppliers for unique product
photographs when you\’re conducting these interactions.
You won\’t see or touch your merchandise because you\’re drop
shipping. When you apply to be a store for a supplier, you\’ll very certainly be
given the same images as your competitors.
Because everyone uses the same photos on their websites,
every product page looks the same.
People want to see as many photographs as possible when they
buy something online, especially if it\’s a high-ticket item.
They\’ll be spending $1000-$2000 on these items, therefore zoom
able, high-resolution photos with numerous viewpoints are essential.
When speaking with your vendors, you should request:
·
Any photographs that aren\’t part of the new
dealer product bundle
·
Photos from trade shows
·
Customer testimonials
These images will persuade clients to select you above the
competition.
When looking for drop shipping
suppliers, go a little deeper
The strategies I outlined before in this essay are all about
finding advantages over your competition. You\’re in a competition, therefore
you want to make sure you have a leg up on your opponents.
This tip is about finding providers who aren\’t traditional.
When you look hard enough, you\’ll find a lot of vendors that you could have
easily overlooked, resulting in money being left on the table.
Examining trade show directories is the simplest approach to
do a thorough dive on vendors. The best part is that you don\’t have to go to
any trade exhibitions… All you have to do is complete the following steps:
·
Look for trade shows that are relevant to your
industry.
·
Look through their internet directories.
·
Take a look at their list of exhibitors.
·
Make contact with those businesses to sell their
wares.
If you offer microphones, you might consider attending A/V
electronic trade exhibitions such as CEDIA, then contacting their exhibitors.
In my course, I go over the procedures for identifying
suppliers, but this is a fantastic method to go over them again.
Increase the number of payment
options
You could already be doing this, but if you aren\’t, you
should start.
Here are a few payment alternatives to consider:
·
Payments on Shopify (U.S. Based)
·
Atlas of Stripes (Outside of U.S.)
·
Paypal
·
Amazon Payments is a service provided by Amazon.
·
Apple Pay is a service that allows you to pay
Paypal has put a hold on my money on occasion, but people
adore it. I haven\’t had any problems with them in recent years.
The general rule is to provide as many payment choices as
possible to your customers. All of your transactions will travel through
Shopify, where they will be recorded in the same place and deposited into your
bank account.
Use The Live Chat Feature
In the internet app store, there is a free live chat app.
You can obtain an app for your phone, just like Grasshopper.
When someone live chats your store, the message will be sent
to your phone, allowing you to answer from wherever you are.
Resize photos with Photo Resize
There will be 100 products on some of your sites, while
others will have 3,000 or more. If your site isn\’t built properly, it can
appear chaotic or scammy with so many products. Although I do not believe that
design is the most significant factor, your site should not appear cluttered.
Photo Resize is one of the web programs we utilize to make
all of your product photos look uniform. This ensures a professional appearance
that will assist your consumers trust you.
Create a FAQ page
You\’ll learn the most typical inquiries your clients have
after you\’ve been in business for a while.
If you get a few inquiries on same themes every week, just
remember that there are 100 or more people who didn\’t ask the same question and
simply left.
People will sometimes talk or phone for answers. The majority
of individuals, on the other hand, will be lazy and simply leave.
You can provide them the solution and get them to buy at any
time using a Frequently Asked Questions Section (FAQ for short).
Use urgency and scarcity to your
advantage
Expiring deals and displaying inventory counts are two
effective ways to increase sales.
The countdown timers are user-based and update automatically
for each individual visitor. They\’re a fantastic technique to convert a
\”maybe\” into a sale.
Just make sure the deal genuinely expires, or else you\’ll
lose credibility and your urgency/scarcity will be ineffective. Faking it in
business will cost you in the long run.
People will want to know when their things will arrive, so add
an anticipated arrival time.
Implement these strategies if your conversion rate is less
than 1.5 percent. Go over this list and put each suggestion into action. Return
to me in three to four weeks and tell me what occurred. I\’m confident that
these modifications will have a significant impact.
