- Consider An Integration Service
In today's society, simply having an eCommerce presence isn't always enough. As such many businesses seek to integrate online marketplaces into their eCommerce CMS in order to give them a multi-channel solution.
With more than 15 million customers and more than 10 million products on offer at any one time, eBay is a fantastic platform for your eCommerce business. However, managing multiple eCommerce presences on different websites can be very time consuming; the solution, eBay integration services.
With an eBay integration service from Advansys, you can manage your products on both your eCommerce website and on eBay from the same CMS. This allows you to adjust and modify your business' online retail presence from a single centralised location. This includes actions such as stock and order processing, fulfilment, shipping and payments.
- Make Sure That Your Website Is Easy To Use
There are lots of tips for building a great eCommerce website, however it is very important that you place a very high importance on your user's user experience (sometimes referred to as UX).
If your website is difficult to use, slow to load or just confusing; it could seriously impact your sales. For example, did you know that in 2016 £2.6 billion was lost in revenue because customers found the checkout stage too difficult to use!?
This is just one of the many reasons why it can be very helpful to seek assistance of skilled professionals such as the talented team at Advansys to design and build your business' website. With our numerous years of experience our team can create a fantastic website for your business that places a high importance on the user's experience whilst they are using your B2C eCommerce website.
- Utilise Digital Marketing Services And / Or Techniques
There are numerous digital marketing services and techniques that could help to boost your sales on your eCommerce website.
One of the most well known types of digital marketing is Search Engine Optimisation (also known as SEO). SEO is a type of marketing that optimises your website with the aim of ranking higher in search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing.
With regards to SEO, Advansys can assist your business in two ways. Firstly we can provide you with a professional Search Engine Optimisation Service. With our professional SEO services, we utilise the best techniques and long-term strategies with an approach that constantly adapts to meet the latest search engine algorithms.
However, Search Engine Marketing isn't just about SEO, you can also utilise other marketing techniques too, such as Pay Per Click Advertising (Also known as PPC). With PPC advertising, you can place adverts in search engine results pages. An example of PPC advertising is Google Adwords which places advertisements at the top of Google search engine results pages.
PPC advertising isn't like other pieces of advertisement; this is because you only pay for advertisements when people click on your ad. Additionally, your advertisements rank depends on the quality of the advertisement. As such, if you're interested in getting the most out of a digital marketing campaign you might be interested in both a professional SEO service and a professional PPC management campaign from the skilled and dedicated Advansys team.
