It always works! Whether you are offering free shipping or two for one, something free is a proven way to boost sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 1:<\/strong> Offer Free Shipping With A Threshold<\/p><div class=\"mobid-in-content-15-p\" style=\"margin-top: 26px;margin-bottom: 26px;\" id=\"mobid-118863065\"><div class=\"mobid-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/semrush-v2\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"semrushtrialseo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/semrushtrialseo.gif\" alt=\"\"  class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>If free shipping is a huge cost for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/start-ecommerce-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ecommerce business<\/a>, you can offer free shipping with a condition, for example, \u201cfree shipping for orders above $100\u201d or if your customer adds a second item. For ecommerce stores selling to international customers, you can specify free shipping by country or give a discount\/free shipping code that reduces the shipping cost for international deliveries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 2:<\/strong> Hide The Shipping Cost<\/p>\n<p>The second way to go about free shipping is adding the cost of shipping to your product price. If the product costs $70 and the shipping is $7, you can make the product price $77 and ship for free.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful though, because customers will compare product prices with your competitors. If the difference is big, you\u2019ll look like a rip-off, and that will lower sales. To find out what\u2019s the best approach with your users, A\/B test the shipping price displayed against the shipping price hidden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 3:<\/strong> Position Your Free Shipping Right<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not doing anything to make your free incentive stand out, you are missing out big time. Shoppers have to be reminded of it or know about it as quickly as possible. It\u2019s a nudge most people don\u2019t want to miss out on. You don\u2019t have to keep it only on the checkout page.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15932 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-700x307.png\" alt=\"ecommerce free shipping\" width=\"700\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-700x307.png 700w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-250x110.png 250w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-1024x449.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice-120x53.png 120w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Going-Out-Dresses-Party-Occasional-Wear-Clothing-Lavish-Alice.png 1349w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can test the size of the text, color, even frequency.

Test The Right Page<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Define what you want to achieve from your testing process and direct traffic to the pages relevant to that goal. For sales, you can start testing from the checkout page and go up to impact quick conversions. Be specific as you define your goals.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u2018If your goal is simply to \u201cimprove your website\u201d or \u201cincrease revenue,\u201d you\u2019ll have a tough time figuring out where to start. And at the end of your test, it will be difficult to say for sure whether your test was successful\u2019 &#8211; David Zheng.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you want lead generation, your landing page may be a better starting point than your About Us page. For sales conversion, your checkout and product pages are the top priority.<\/p>\n<p>Choose definable and testable metrics. Sales conversion, email subscription, more clicks on certain CTAs. Those are metrics with a clear purpose that you can test. It all depends on your goals. Also, your visitors\u2019 interactions with the store play a big part. They are the ones dealing with your sales funnel and CTAs, and it\u2019s through them that you get a breakthrough. So study interactions as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you are recording a high cart abandonment rate, then you might want to test the design and copy of your cart page to see what\u2019s the problem. It\u2019s important to avoid jumping to A\/B testing the checkout page. Why? Because, if only 2% of visitors continue to the checkout page, this means you\u2019ll only be working with a test pool of 2% of all your visitors. That\u2019s not going to be enough for conclusive data.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever page you\u2019re going to use, you need to be consistent and always test both versions at the same time. Define your testing tools and use google analytics to track and target the right users.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"trick-4-optimize-your-cta-buttons\"><\/span><strong>Trick 4. Optimize Your CTA Buttons<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The other calls to action on your pages significantly influence the success of buttons, but the design and copy of the buttons themselves are a close second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 1:<\/strong> Use A Contrasting Color<\/p>\n<p>One legit optimization trick that still works is changing the button color. We\u2019re visual creatures, use this fact.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an advice: think twice if you\u2019re about to color your buttons red. Yeah, I agree this is the most attention-pinning color, but it might not work on your website, especially if your primary theme is red.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about colors, it isn\u2019t the exact nuance of the button that creates success for those case studies; it is the contrast with the theme of the site.<\/p>\n<p>There are two types of contrasting colors &#8211; complementary or triadic. Complementary colors are opposite your dominant color on the wheel, while the triadic is a third of the way around the wheel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15936 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/complimentary-and-triadic-colors.jpg\" alt=\"complimentary and triadic colors\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/complimentary-and-triadic-colors.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/complimentary-and-triadic-colors-250x121.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/complimentary-and-triadic-colors-120x58.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Image from <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/which-color-button-converts-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OptinMonster<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip 2:<\/strong> Use Personalized And Action Oriented Button Copy<\/p>\n<p>Optimizing your headline or copy to show the benefit of your products is very important.

After a while, they tested that design against the usual grid design.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15941 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791.png\" alt=\"ecommerce ab test smartwool\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791-250x193.png 250w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791-700x541.png 700w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/ecommerce-ab-test-smartwool-1024x791-120x93.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Images via <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.optimizely.com\/2014\/01\/02\/smartwool-ecommerce-ab-testing-case-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Optimizely<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The emphasized images recorded more clicks but not sales. It\u2019s true they were eye-catching, but complicated or delayed finding the products users were looking for. The repetitive design, on the other hand, made scanning the page easier, allowed better eye tracking and enabled faster purchasing decisions.

Test Sliders<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a format, the slider provides more space (fits more offers), so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if you want to have one on your site. After all, sliders work so well for many businesses.<\/p><div class=\"mobid-in-content-15-p_2-2\" style=\"margin-top: 26px;margin-bottom: 26px;\" id=\"mobid-2679550238\"><div class=\"mobid-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/semrush-v1\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"backlinks\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1.png 970w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1-250x52.png 250w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1-700x144.png 700w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1-768x158.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PD-970x250-Discover-backlinks-faster-than-ever-1-120x25.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"970\" height=\"200\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>But here\u2019s a dark secret that could make you reevaluate your enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>First: Carousels on ecommerce stores are a usability nightmare. To start with, they don\u2019t show well on mobile devices and affect speed and performance. Mobile friendliness and website speed are two major e-commerce fundamentals that you must not ignore. Check this ecommerce<a href=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/blog\/ecommerce-website-development.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> web dev checklist<\/a> if you don\u2019t believe me.<\/p>\n<p>Second: People might get annoyed or distracted by them in the midst of an important task. Remember that too many messages equal no message, and people like to ignore sales banners.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/blog\/sliders-killing-e-commerce-conversion-rates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impact of sliders on conversion rates<\/a>, it\u2019s essential to use A\/B testing for ecommerce websites to see if their absence or presence will increase conversion rates. You could also check if manual or automatic sliders perform better. Other things to consider are images and copy placement on the sliders, copy to image contrast, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"trick-7-go-against-popular-myths\"><\/span><strong>Trick 7. Go Against Popular Myths<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So many studies swear by the number 9 for product pricing. Walmart follows the number 9 thing, and so many others are falling for its charms. There\u2019s also the number 7. The myth is that charging 99.97 or 99.99 over 100 will make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>While it may work for some stores, many in the industry think it\u2019s phony. I read a study once about how online scammers use the number 7 a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Groove found out that using 7 and 9 made no difference with their conversion rates. The results were inconclusive because there were no changes in customer behavior.<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15942 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/price-variations.png\" alt=\"price variations\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/price-variations.png 690w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/price-variations-250x168.png 250w, https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/price-variations-120x81.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Image from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groovehq.com\/blog\/failed-ab-tests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GrooveHQ<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Resorting to case studies is great for exploring ideas and approaches to split-testing, but it might not be enough to explain all aspects of your users\u2019 behavior. What to do in this case?<\/p>\n<p>Apply common sense!<\/p>\n<p>What works for another ecommerce business might not work for yours. Instead of pulling the 9 or 7 tricks, try a price flexibility model. Your customers might respond positively to a multiple-choice option or a comparison between a high priced option against a cheaper one.<\/p>\n<p>You can even read through customers comments, polls, reviews or use a survey tool to ask visitors for feedback on your website and build up from there.<\/p>\n<p>Be weary of rushing to test every claim and myth online. Do your homework first, gather data, analyze and always test with your customers in mind. Knowing your audience is the biggest sales booster there is.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"bonus-run-aa-tests\"><\/span><strong>[Bonus] Run A\/A Tests<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s good to check the calibration of your testing tools from time to time just to be sure. This is where an A\/A test comes into play. Test your landing page against itself with the same tool on a typical season and see if the conversion rates are similar. If they aren\u2019t and everything else seems in check, your software might be off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some of the biggest ecommerce success stories happened thanks to A\/B testing.<\/p>\n<p>However, one test can never be the magic bullet that solves your revenue issues. Consistency is key. If you want to achieve the kind of success that Netflix or Amazon are getting from A\/B testing, you\u2019ll need to have an ongoing, incremental, and iterative testing process that builds upon the results of each previous test.<\/p>\n<p>The end game of A\/B testing is to understand your audience better. To know what makes them tick\u2026 or in our case &#8211; what makes them click!<\/p>\n<p>Remember: everybody has soft spots! Dig deep, experiment, and you\u2019ll find them for your potential customers!<\/p>\n<div class=\"mobid-after-content\" style=\"margin-top: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"mobid-3403373792\"><div class=\"mobid-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/recommends\/banner-placement-2\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"da\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/da.gif\" alt=\"\"  class=\"no-lazyload\" width=\"730\" height=\"90\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes we are stuck with low sales despite the effort we put into optimizing the website, validating ideas, and getting traffic.
