2. Understand Your Target Customer
If you create a web site but if you don’t really know who your customers are and what they want to purchase, you probably won’t make much money. A web site is an extension to or a replacement for the standard store front. Here are some things you can do to understand your target customer:
- Make your shipping price lower
- Respond fast to client questions
- Ask them to complete a survey.
- Ask them about their choices.
- Ask them why do they like your products?
- You can offer them discount prices or coupons
- Make your product descriptions better
- Make your return policies and guarantees better than your competitors
3. Have Enough Contact Information
Always remember that your customer can buy your products 24/7. They may live in other states, timezones or even other countries. Always provide contact information on every page of your website. This must be complete with mailing address, telephone number and an email address. Also have your email forwarded to another email address.
