90% of new online stores eventually fail. They lack the ability to:
- Drive sales (Drive Traffic, High Bounce Rate, Low Conversion Rates, etc.)
- Keep customers (Bad Product Offering, Bad Pricing / Value, Poorly Designed Site, etc.)
- Provide a good service
The top ten reasons why online startups end in failure:
- Poor online marketing – 37%
- Lack of online search visibility – 35%
- Little to no market for their products or services – 35%
- Running out of cash – 32%
- Price and costing issues – 29%
- Got outcompeted – 23%
- Retail giants dominating a large share of the market – 19%
- Lack customer service – 16%
- Poor team around them – 14%
- Product mistiming – 11%
Typical traits of successful online stores:
- Customer experience above everything
- Brand appeal
- No unnecessary extra costs
- Social proof (testimonials and reviews)
- Accurate product descriptions and specifications
- Top-notch customer service
- Quicker website load speeds
- Abandoned cart recovery
Average conversion rate on non-promotional events is 3-5%.
According to Shopify statistics conversion rates for sales channels are:
- 4.29% for email campaigns
- 3.04% for organic search
- 2.93% direct
- 1.81% social media referrals
- Facebook is unsurprisingly number 1 as a source of social traffic and sales. Almost ⅓ of all social media visits to Shopify stores come from Facebook.
- Facebook has the highest conversion rate among all social media e-commerce traffic – at 1.85%. 85% of orders originating from social media from Facebook traffic.
- On average, email campaigns and general SEO efforts geared for general search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) queries produce the highest conversion rates. Small-budget paid ad campaigns did not fair well.
66% of online sales and over 70% of traffic is now through mobile devices. (Is your store optimized for mobile?)
What Epoch BG resolves setting you up on Shopify:
- Which base Shopify subscription model to chose from and why.
- Which Shopify template to use, setup, and why.
- Setting all Shopify's back-end account settings.
- Setting up SEO and Backlinks.
- Setting product variants properly.
- Optimizing call-to-action and minimizing click-to-cart.
- Setting all the sales channels properly.
- Which Shopify and 3rd party apps to use and why.
- Customize Shopify font and color schemes to match your customer demographics.
- How to tweak the Shopify .liquid files and why.
- When to embed photo/video and when to link photo/video.
- How to become integrated with Amazon FBA.
- Setting up Google Analytics and Webmaster on Google's back-end properly.
- Setting up on Google Merchant Center via Shopify to Enable Google Shopping.
- Setting up Social Media (fb, Pinterest, etc) stores and Social Media Buy Buttons.
Not having the above done in a competent and professional manner will just result in a website that does not generate sales even if it does generate traffic. Most e-commerce sites, whether on Shopify, Squarespace, GoDaddy, etc suffer from this.
And importantly we can provide marketing and advertising services after your Shopify store is up and running.
