It is effective to offer a discount code to inactive customers, to motivate them to place a new order on your site.
4. Reduce lost cart and bounce rate
Focus on motivating visitors to your site to finalize their purchase today.
There are many things that can be done to reduce the bounce rate on the cart or checkout page. First, it is a good idea to be upfront with delivery costs, on more pages than just the checkout page. Customers like to see what their final total will be at any given time and are more likely to abandon the checkout if the delivery costs surprise them.
You can also offer a discount to customers that are on the cart or checkout page but moving their mouse on the “exit” button. For periods of time, you can also offer a discount directly from the cart page, for example for holidays or on days where you have historically low sales.
5. Reviews
Search engines and customers are using reviews to evaluate if your Webshop is legitimate. You can either use your eCommerce platform built-in option, or you can use a 3rd party platform, such as www.trustpilot.com to collect reviews from your customers.
Note that most customers want 200+/- reviews in order to make a positive impact on their buying decision ( source)
Therefore it is important that you actively work on getting reviews from customers, both on your business and your products. To motivate customers to give you a review you can give them a discount on their next purchase for the review.
