1. Focus On Simplifying The Buying Journey of Your Customer:

With changing technology the modern buyer has also evolved, and not only are they more informed than ever but they can also make educated decisions on their every purchase.

As per a 2019 survey, on average the online buyer spends almost four minutes on an e-commerce website using a mobile device. Looking at this data, you can assess that you have a small window of four minutes to convince your potential consumer that your service is worth the price and their precious time.

Your mobile e-commerce website should be designed in a specific way so it can create that positive buying experience for the user (so that they go through with the buying process and don’t ditch in the middle).

The trick is to keep your mobile website design simple while also efficient in a way that it successfully conveys the relevant information to the user. Right from the product selection to the payment stage, the buying journey of the customer should be clear and least complex (the lesser the distraction better chance you have at getting successful conversion).

What you should avoid however is upselling on your site. It is among the most common e-commerce mistakes businesses commit and that is by upselling even before the customer has completed their initial purchase.

Cart abandonment is often what you face when you bombard your customer with additional information on other products that they can buy along with their primary items and that means now they have more decisions to make (and thus, cart abandonment). Upselling works when the buyer has completed one purchase on your site.

With Midas, you can consult our expert e-commerce website developers who will come up with an effective design strategy to streamline the buying process and ensure upselling happens only after the initial purchase is completed.
