CRO, how to turn more visitors into customers

An online store is a shopping experience. Many stores convert only 1 to 3 percent of their visitors. To improve:

• Short buying process: fewer steps to payment, fewer abandonments.
• User reviews: Trust that translates into purchases.
• Photos and descriptions: high-quality, clear and convincing.
• Tempting offers: coupons, promotions, and bundles that increase your basket.
• Mobile is great: Most purchases happen on a smartphone.

Summary

The cost depends on the scope of the project and goals. You can start with a basic store for a few thousand, or you can invest in customized design and development that will generate more sales over time. Proper planning and budget allocation between platform, user experience, and CRO will help you reach your goals faster.
