Does this sound familiar? I built a website, promoted it on Facebook and am getting a lot of visitors, but no one is buying. Yea, that happened to me, too. When I first launched my business on BigCommerce, I had the site up and running rather easily. It looked the way I wanted it to. It worked the way I wanted it to. All I had to do, I thought, was get traffic there and presto: I’d have revenue coming in.

By Kristin Secreto, InComm Product Control Time-consuming processes and the need for specially trained and/or dedicated returns counter staff can make returns a costly operational expense.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

69.23% –– that’s the average percentage of online consumers who will put something in a cart on your site and then just up and leave without ever purchasing. 58.6% –– that’s the percentage of people who say they’ve abandoned a cart within the last 3 months because “I was just browsing / not ready to buy.” These people likely won’t ever even initiate your checkout flow.

Did you know that the vast majority of shopping carts are abandoned not because the customer was at all unhappy with their items, but because they’re just not ready to buy yet? According to Business Insider, 75% of shoppers who have abandoned shopping carts say that they plan to return to the retailer’s website or store to complete their purchase. This means that although the customer may have walked away from their cart, their interest is still at a relative peak – leaving marketers with

This is because I know that many ecommerce professionals and website designers in general are not all that experienced when it comes to making a site. Therefore, they don't want to touch any code. But drag and drop builders also provide benefits for advanced users, seeing as how you can cut down on time spent developing and pump out more website designs for clients.

The retail industry has used “same-store sales” (or “comparable store sales”) as a key indicator of a retailer’s health for decades. From where I sit, its usefulness is rapidly fading, if not bordering on irrelevance. While it remains to be seen whether retail traffic declines will last forever , most traditional retailers will struggle to grow physical store sales in the face of the significant and inexorable shift to online shopping.
