Depending on the type of customer you can segment and send exclusive information about registered users depending on the pattern of purchase of each user boosting to the recurring purchase.

With a greater attraction to the store for sending special promotions or discount coupons the user will make positive decisions about strategies appropriate to their interests.

  • Loading time

Like any web solution, loading time is crucial. The user does not think twice about leaving a site if it loads too slow or has confusing content.   A 11% of cart abandonments are due to the slowness of the website. (Source) For this reason, we must take into account and optimize the loading times of each element of our site, avoiding loaded designs, unnecessary information and complicated buying processes.

  • Security

Putting ourselves in the shoes of the end user, if we want to buy something online but the site does not provide security, requests information meaningless or the payment process is complicated and without transparency, we will look for another provider.

It is important to optimize each transaction, create simple registration forms, define return or cancellation policies, explain the reason for each information and have certificates that ensure the site of each transaction.

It is important to take into account each of the mentioned elements on the implementation of new functionalities to generate more confidence as recommendations of each product on the pattern of purchase and review on the part of other users contributing positively in the final decision of each user.   If the user has a good experience about the store and the purchase is likely to re-buy frequently and recommend your company to other potential customers.

We must consider that each new visit increases the possibilities of conversion and therefore it is necessary to focus the strategies in providing an excellent user experience with an optimal, easy-to-use and transparent platform on each transaction.
