Boss, are you currently troubled by the low conversion rate of your independent website? Advertising costs are soaring, and although the traffic seems considerable, customers leave as soon as they enter the site, resulting in a pitifully low conversion rate. Don’t worry. This might be because your independent website has fallen into the following four traps. Now, follow me to investigate together, identify the problem, and transform your independent website from a traffic black hole into a conversion funnel.
The first landmine: The traffic pool misidentifies customers
Although there is a lot of traffic, if the target customers are not clear, no matter how much traffic there is, it is just junk traffic. Precise traffic is the foundation of conversion. Only by placing advertisements in front of potential customers who are truly interested in the product can the conversion rate be improved.
(1) Accurately identify target customers
Before placing advertisements, it is essential to clearly identify who the target customers are. Through market research, data analysis and other means, understand the age, gender, region, interests and hobbies, consumption habits and other characteristics of the target customers, and build a detailed user profile. For instance, if you sell high-end outdoor equipment, your target customers might be outdoor sports enthusiasts aged 25 to 45. They live in cities, have a certain purchasing power, and are passionate about outdoor adventures.
(2) Select appropriate advertising platforms and keywords
Select the appropriate advertising platform and keywords based on the characteristics of the target customers. For instance, if your target customers are mainly young people, then TikTok or Instagram might be better advertising platforms. If your target customers are professionals, LinkedIn might be more suitable. At the same time, select keywords highly relevant to the product to ensure that the advertisement can be precisely displayed to potential customers.
II, the second landmine: The selling point copy is not clear
After users enter the website, if they cannot understand what pain points the product can solve within 3 seconds, they will leave immediately. Selling point copy is the key to attracting users. It must be concise and clear, directly addressing users’ pain points.
(1) Clarify the selling points of the product
Before writing selling point copy, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the product’s advantages and features, and clearly define what problems the product can solve for users. For instance, if you are selling a smartwatch, the selling points could be “real-time health monitoring, keeping track of your physical condition anytime and anywhere” or “ultra-long battery life, only requiring one charge per week”.
(2) Concise and clear copywriting
The selling point copy should be concise and clear, avoiding the use of complex terms and lengthy sentences. Express the core value of the product in simple and straightforward language so that users can understand it in a short time. For instance, “Manage your health easily. Smartwatches make your life more convenient.”
III. The third landmine: Slow website loading speed
The loading speed of a website is of vital importance. If the loading time exceeds 3 seconds, 60% of the customers will leave. Slow website speed not only affects user experience but also lowers search engine rankings.
(1) Optimize website speed
Use tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights to check the website speed and optimize according to the suggestions. Common optimization measures include compressing images, reducing HTTP requests, using content delivery networks (CDNS), and optimizing code, etc. For instance, converting an image format from JPEG to WebP can significantly reduce the file size of the image and speed up the loading process.
(2) Continuous monitoring and optimization
Website optimization is not a one-time effort; it requires continuous monitoring and improvement. Regularly check the website speed to ensure that the optimization measures are effective. At the same time, pay attention to user experience feedback and promptly address any potential issues that may arise.
IV, the fourth landmine: The purchasing process is not convenient
If users cannot find the “Buy Now” button on the website or the ordering process is cumbersome, they are very likely to give up the purchase. The convenience of the purchasing process directly affects the conversion rate.
(1) Optimize the purchasing process
Make sure the “Buy Now” button is prominent and easily accessible on the page. The purchasing process should be concise and clear, minimizing unnecessary steps. For instance, offer a one-click purchase option to reduce the steps users need to take to fill in information. At the same time, ensure that the payment process is safe and reliable, and support multiple payment methods, such as credit cards, PayPal, etc.
(2) Provide real-time assistance
During the purchasing process, real-time assistance functions such as online customer service or chatbots are provided to help users solve the problems they encounter. This can not only enhance the user experience but also reduce the abandonment of purchases due to problems.
V. Shipping by freight forwarders on behalf of procurement: Solving back-end problems
When you focus on the front-end traffic and conversion, the back-end shipping and logistics issues may distract your energy. The consignment procurement freight forwarder service provider can offer you comprehensive back-end support for shipping.
(1) Cost advantage
Through centralized procurement, freight forwarder service providers can obtain more favorable procurement prices and logistics costs, reducing your operating expenses. This means you can operate at a lower cost and increase your profit margin.
(2) Delivery date guarantee
The freight forwarder service provider for agency procurement can offer reliable delivery time guarantees. They can purchase and stock up for you in advance to ensure that the goods can be dispatched promptly after the customer places an order. Meanwhile, they can also offer real-time logistics tracking services, allowing both you and your customers to keep track of the transportation status of your orders at any time.
(3) Service quality
Procurement agency freight forwarder service providers usually have professional teams and rich experience, and can provide you with high-quality services. They can handle all kinds of complex logistics issues for you and ensure that your order can be delivered smoothly. At the same time, they can also provide you with after-sales service and solve the problems that customers encounter during the receiving process.
The low conversion rate of independent websites is often caused by multiple issues. By identifying the four major pitfalls – the traffic pool, selling point copy, website speed and purchase process – you can find the problem and solve it. At the same time, by leveraging the consignment procurement and freight forwarder service providers for shipping, you can solve the back-end shipping and logistics issues, allowing you to focus on the front-end traffic and conversion.
