The same sentiment applies to your ecommerce website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Leading ecommerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/squarespace-integrations\/\">Squarespace<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/wix-shipping\/\">Wix<\/a> make it easy to launch a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterproposals.io\/proposal-templates\/simple-web-design-proposal-template\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beautiful website with little design<\/a> or web development experience. But an eye-catching website is only half the battle.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers are looking for something specific that meets their needs, so it\u2019s important to create an online store <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbeginner.com\/beginners-guide\/how-to-choose-the-best-website-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with a website<\/a> that showcases your products in the best light. This way, shoppers can easily see the value you provide and feel comfortable to make a purchase on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>While BFCM is right around the corner, it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s too late to make some last-minute changes to your online store to increase conversions. We hosted a live website teardown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewebinar.com\/blog\/webinar-marketing\/what-is-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">webinar<\/a> with the help of Jon MacDonald, founder and CEO of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thegood.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>The Good<\/span><\/a><span>, an agency that specializes in ecommerce conversion rate optimisation (CRO).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/direct-to-consumer-brands-and-3pl\/\"><span>Direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands<\/span><\/a><span> from a variety of industries walked away with tangible action items that they can easily make to their website right away to increase conversions and maximise sales during BFCM and beyond.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Watch the recording below to view the website teardowns in action, or read on for a list of tips recommended by Jon. This advice is based on thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/conversion-rate-optimization\/tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CRO tools<\/a>, tests, and data collected on what sparks action from shoppers and drives revenue.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Live BFCM Website Teardowns with Jon MacDonald of The Good\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0damQCpxWk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remove-immediate-popups-and-move-newsletter-signups-closer-to-the-footer\">Remove immediate popups and move newsletter signups closer to the footer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine walking into a store and you\u2019re met with someone handing you a clipboard and asking for your email address. Potentially off-putting, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>It\u2019s common to visit an ecommerce site and immediately get hit with a <a href=\"https:\/\/wisepops.com\/blog\/website-pop-up-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website popup<\/a> asking for an email to receive a discount. Although they work in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/how-to-build-quality-lead-list-for-cold-emailing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">building an email list<\/a>, the quality of the emails collected are generally low. A lot of times, shoppers will either click out or enter their email address just to make the popup go away.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>There are a few things that are problematic with offering a percentage or dollar amount discount right off the bat:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span>What it communicates to shoppers is that your products are not worth the full price because of the discount you\u2019re giving right away.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span>A lot of times, the discount is only shown once in the popup. So if someone initially clicked out to learn more about your products first, they\u2019ll be reluctant to move forward and purchase from you if they can\u2019t locate the discount again.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span>Consumers feel good when they know they are getting the best price, so if you show a discount right away and it gets lost, they\u2019ll most likely look somewhere else to find the best offer for a similar product.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Here\u2019s what Jon recommends you do instead:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span>Move the email signup box closer to the footer of your homepage and remove the discount incentive.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span>Make sure your email signup sets expectations. Clearly state the value of signing up for your newsletter and how often you\u2019ll be emailing them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span>Be sure to include a statement around privacy, which can be as simple as: \u2018We will not share consumer data to a third party.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To get email subscribers, don\u2019t use popups. Instead, build in offers throughout your website that require email for access:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First to know about new items<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers: Free gift with purchase<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers: Free shipping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offers: VIP access to items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-free-shipping-or-free-gift-with-purchase-promos-instead-of-discounted-incentives\">Use \u2018Free Shipping\u2019 or \u2018Free Gift with Purchase\u2019 promos instead of discounted incentives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you want to display a promo, adding a sitewide bar at the top of the website and above the navigation is a great tactic. But the only message that has proven to move the needle is around \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/how-to-offer-free-shipping-ecommerce-store\/\"><span>Free Shipping<\/span><\/a><span>.\u2019 Jon and his team have conducted tons of tests on promo bars and \u2018Free Shipping\u2019 has been proven to increase <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/average-order-value\/\"><span>average order value<\/span><\/a><span>. This type of messaging removes any surprises at checkout and makes the shopper more comfortable to move forward with an intent to purchase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have message about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/ecommerce-covid-19\/\">COVID-19<\/a> in your top bar, ditch it. Consumers are tired of reading about it, and now that we\u2019re out of the initial shock of the pandemic, consumers expect you to still be shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FOCL CBD brand does a great job at promoting \u2018Free Shipping\u2019 in a top bar (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"330\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10533 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.22.24-PM-700x330.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Depending on what you sell, another great incentive is \u2018Free Gift with Purchase,\u2019 which is used commonly by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.shipbob.com\/shipping-solutions-for-health-beauty-and-wellness-brands\"><span>health, beauty, and wellness brands<\/span><\/a><span>, but Jon made note that there\u2019s a lot of opportunity for other ecommerce industries to test \u2018a free gift\u2019 promo. Offering a free gift can include a new product that you want to test by getting it into your customer\u2019s hands to try. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>For example, Deodorant brand Native offers a free mini deodorant with your next purchase (see below).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10532 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-11.18.41-AM-700x460.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rethink-your-above-the-fold-strategy\">Rethink your \u2018above the fold\u2019 strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>In the past, what mattered most was the content \u2018above the fold\u2019 (or what a visitor sees when they land on your site without scrolling), but that\u2019s changed. Thanks to social media feeds, people are used to scrolling.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>You don\u2019t need to cram everything above the fold, so don\u2019t be afraid to spread out your messaging and showcase different product categories and the value they offer throughout the homepage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>The only thing you need to include above the fold is your value proposition that communicates what you sell and why. Shoppers want to know what you offer and how it will meet their needs. Everything else can live below the fold including more details and information about your product(s) and social proof.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>For example, during the live website teardown session, ecommerce brand Papaya Reusables got the following feedback from Jon: \u201cMake sure it\u2019s extremely clear what you\u2019re selling upfront,\u201d<\/span><span>so they reevaluated their hero image selection and added callouts to their products over the product images (see below for the before and after photos).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"387\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10530 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.52-PM-700x387.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"368\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10529 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-1.50.55-PM-700x368.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Another mistake brands make is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sliderrevolution.com\/design\/website-sliders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">implementing a slider<\/a>, also known as a \u2018carousel,\u2019 instead of a static hero image. This is another attempt to stuff too many messages above the fold at once. Data has proven that less than 1\/10 of 1% (as in less than 0.1%) of website visitors will click on a slider CTA. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>It can be a frustrating user experience when a visitor hasn\u2019t finished reading something and then it\u2019s gone. Additionally, rotating images can be distracting when the customer is trying to focus on something that is more important. Remove the carousel and stick with a static message that clearly states your value proposition instead.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-your-top-navigation-to-showcase-your-products\">Use your top navigation to showcase your products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You shouldn\u2019t have more than five navigation links on your site, so it\u2019s important to be thoughtful when organising your items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>One of the biggest mistakes Jon sees brands make is hide their products behind \u2018Shop\u2019 in their main navigation. The number one thing a consumer wants to learn more about is your products, so try replacing what\u2019s in your top nav by showcasing your product line. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Brands often have two links that are essentially the same: \u2018Shop\u2019 and \u2018Products.\u2019 You don\u2019t need both. While not all products can be purchased online, you can always use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/product-descriptions\/\">product page description<\/a> to elaborate on where to buy them locally.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>That also means removing \u2018Blog\u2019 from the top nav. A blog is great for driving top of funnel website traffic and increasing brand awareness, but once a shopper is on your site, they want to know what products you sell. Pushing them to your blog can push them back up the funnel, rather than down.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some other quick fixes to make your website easier for customers to navigate and increase the likelihood that they\u2019ll take action on your site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t have \u2018New Arrivals\u2019 as its own navigation at the top level, but within each category of product (e.g., Jeans &gt; New Arrivals).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move your \u2018About Us\u2019 navigation to the footer of your email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never use \u2018Home\u2019 in your top navigation. People know to get back to your home screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enhance-social-proof-including-reviews-from-consumers-and-publications\">Enhance social proof including reviews from consumers and publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Social proof is very important, but it doesn\u2019t have to be front and centre on your homepage. M<\/span><span>ake sure all customer reviews include photos of the product(s) that customers are reviewing and link to the product page so people can easily find where to buy the item. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Instead of displaying lengthy reviews, highlight key statements customers have made that emphasize the value of your products. Below is a great example from FOCL (a CBD brand) that showcases their reviews well.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10528 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"309\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-2.02.41-PM-700x296.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Similarly, for press coverage, logos are great, but a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/heatmaps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> heatmap<\/a> would show that visitors will try to click on them for more information. Consumers want to know what these publications have said about your products, so add either callout quotes or links to the articles to enhance social proof.

But once shoppers land on your store, directing them back to social media is only going to send them down a black hole, and most likely they won\u2019t come back to make a purchase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>If you are going to embed Instagram social posts (which are great to visually display social proof around products), make sure to include a shopping feature that makes it easy for shoppers to buy directly from Instagram with a \u2018Shop the Look\u2019 CTA<\/span><span>. Luxury watch brand Brathwait does this well (see below).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10531 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"414\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-9.57.57-AM-700x427.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remove-walls-of-text-and-replace-with-bullet-points-icons-are-great-too\">Remove walls of text and replace with bullet points (icons are great too!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Content is <a href=\"https:\/\/lawrank.com\/seo-for-lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great for SEO<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to stuff your homepage with long-form content.

Answer: Start with what drives the most revenue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>This is a common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotjar.com\/website-optimization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website optimisation<\/a> question, but the answer is quite simple: Optimise for where the most revenue comes from. While more visitors are doing research on mobile (e.g., finding you on social), when shoppers are ready to make a final purchase, desktop continues to trump mobile.&nbsp;It\u2019s still important to make your website responsive and make it easy for people to scroll through your content, since a lot of traffic will come from mobile. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>That\u2019s not to say that consumers don\u2019t make online purchase on mobile, but one thing to note is that the higher the <a href=\"https:\/\/prisync.com\/blog\/price-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">price point<\/a>, the more likely people will purchase on desktop.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Look at the website data using Google Analytics or any other analytics tool to determine where a high percentage of conversions are coming from and start there.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reorganize-your-footer-content\">Reorganize your footer content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Jon advises that the two most important things to include in your footer are your products and contact information. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span>On the left column, vertically list out your product types or categories. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the right side, list a business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neo.space\/blog\/how-to-create-free-professional-business-email-without-domain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email address<\/a>, a physical address (even if it\u2019s a PO box), and a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityphone.org\/blogs\/business-phone-number\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business phone number<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Simply displaying your contact information will dramatically increase trust with new shoppers, even if they\u2019re in a different country than you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Note: Be sure to separate social from your contact info as this will only direct shoppers to a social feed and discourage shoppers from engaging more with your store.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-low-intent-ctas-to-increase-engagement\">Use low-intent CTAs to increase engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>A big CRO mistake that brands make is using high-intent CTAs too soon in the buyer\u2019s journey. If you hit a shopper with a \u2018Buy Now\u2019 CTA before they clearly understand what the product is, then they won\u2019t take action. Instead, use a low-intent CTA like \u2018View Details\u2019 or \u2018Learn More\u2019 to encourage further engagement before directing them to purchase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Pro tip: Steer clear of CTAs that change colours when someone scrolls over the button as this functionality doesn\u2019t work on mobile. This is an easy fix that Papaya Reusables was able to make right away (see below for the before and after photos).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"407\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10534 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.30-PM-700x407.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10535 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=1280px\" alt=\"\" data-responsive-img srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=700px 650w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=860px 768w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=1180px 1080w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=1400px 1280w, https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-20-at-3.31.32-PM-700x394.png?w=1600px 1440w\" fetchpriority=\"low\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-remove-any-surprises-at-checkout\">Remove any surprises at checkout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Throughout your homepage and product pages, add content that helps to reduce any surprises at checkout.

For instance, you can add a blurb about your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/ecommerce-returns\/\">ecommerce returns<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/ecommerce-exchange-policy\/\">exchange policy<\/a> on a product page so shoppers feel more comfortable to push forward with a purchase.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Taking the time to make small changes to optimise your website can easily reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/blog\/cart-abandonment\/\">cart abandonment<\/a> and increase sales \u2014 especially for the holiday shopping season.
