5 tips to open an online store and be
successful
Domain and hosting
One of the first things you should do in the process of
opening an online store is to choose a good domain. Both the name of the store
in question and the domain should be easy to remember and write , taking into
account who your target audience is . Of course, they must be descriptive,
indicating what the business activity is.
As for web hosting, you must find a provider that offers you
guarantee and quality . Remember that the speed of the online store is
essential, both for users and for Google. So do not skimp on expenses in this
regard because cheap can end up being very expensive. The hosting company must
guarantee enough space for the online store, a good connection speed and
technical service 24 hours a day.
Simple navigation and
images
Today's users don't have a single second to waste.
Therefore, you should make things as easy as possible for them. Navigation in
the store must be simple and intuitive , so that with just three clicks you can
reach any section of the store .
Of course, you must take great care of the images of the
products and / or services that you have for sale. Surely very few users would
be encouraged to buy an item whose image is blurred and of poor quality. In the
online world, where users make their purchases according to the description and
image of the product and / or service, it is essential to take care of these
aspects.
Payment methods
One of the aspects that current users value the most when
choosing a certain online store is the number of payment methods available. The
bank transfer and credit card are essential, but also can add others. The
PayPal payment gateway is an excellent option, as well as the Bizum service .
Blog
Working on Content Marketing in your online store will be
one of the great keys to success for several reasons. First of all, because a
well-kept corporate blog will make your store climb positions in Google search
results.
And, secondly, because this platform will help you attract
customers and retain them in the long term. Let's give a simple example: let's
imagine that the activity of the store is the sale of kitchen accessories .
Perhaps there is a user interested in knowing how to prepare a cheese cake, and
you on the blog explain how to do it in a simple way with a mixer that you have
for sale in your store, they will surely be very interested in buying it.
