- Explain similarities of us helping to maximize marketing / conversion opps for our advertisers and this should be beneficial for both companies’ current and prospective clients.Take a look at our blog at blog.upsellit.com and follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.Many topics I’ll touch on today are covered in more detail in our online resources.BRYAN ADDED ICON for our eBook so reiterate that the audience can download our latest eBook re: abandonment tips, tricks and best practices.
- Set the stage, UpSellit defines abandonment with more granularity than many marketers might commonly use when discussing this topic. The different types of abandonment we’ll discuss align with the different STAGES of the typical conversion funnel.I’m going to define each… Abandonment Type Reasons for each TYPE Ways advertisers can optimize to mitigate each TYPE Ways advertisers can ACT on abandonment, leveraging UpSellit’s powerful services (tech and human)
- Background on USI:US, CAFounded 2005, over 18 million recovered conversions
- Campaigns and clients all over the world, all languages, multiple solutions (dynamic email, targeted offers, automated chat, and more)
- As mentioned previously, these different types of abandonment are based on the abandonment point within the conversion funnel.Site Abandonment is our general, catch-all termSite, Product, Cart, and Checkout are the specific stages broken down based when the user leaves the site…
- Highest level of the funnel, here, which means Site Bounces are based on reasons one would associate with “first impressions” upon web site arrival.(next slide discusses LACK OF CLEAR CTA)
- TinyPNG: webapp to reduce image file size as much as 70% (pictured to the left)Minify: app to condense multiple CSS files into one file and remove unnecessary charactersProvide One, Clear CTA (lenovo hero features this traitEnhancing usability and user experience is no simply task. A couple common guidelines can be found in the 2 accronyms on screen here:MAYA: Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable. No experimental experience, stick with the familiar. Evolution, not revolution. KISS: Keep it simple, stupid. Provide a clear and direct path to conversion. Minimize distractions and overly-complicated options.
- IN PARALLEL TO OPTIMIZING YOUR SITE PAGES TO REDUCE BOUNCES, YOU CAN LOOK TO A PARTNER LIKE UPSELLIT TO HELP FIGHT ABANDONMENT TOO.INTRO UPSELLIT’S AUTOMATED CHAT SOLUTION. This will engage users the moment they abandon a site in order to provide assistance and sales encouragement…Assist Site Navigation – With usability as a top reason for a site bounce, Abandonment Chat reduces abandonment by directly visitors to the info/products they were looking for..Build Trust & Loyalty – Providing instant, accurate answers to visitor questions will build trust and loyaltyGather Business Intelligence – learn why customers were leaving, and segment reasons by geo-location, traffic source, etc.
- PRODUCT ABANDONMENT IS 2nd level down in the conversion funnelAt this stage, user knows a product or SKU so their reasons for abandonment may be related to those seen on this chart….
- Promote Urgency: make note of limited availability, exclusive offers, Paint a clear picture: Allow users to quickly and easily browse mult photos. Consider mobile devices for both file size and navigationprovide mult (quality) photos, show different color options, don’t rely on manf. descriptions, provide colorful product descriptions (which also good for SEO)
- AGAIN, PARALLEL TO YOUR OWN OPTIMIZATION EFFORTS, YOU CAN FIGHT PRODUCT ABANDONMENT using UPSELLIT…Visitors abandoning a product page are probably in the consideration phase where they are comparing different products and vendors. Provide incentive to gather emailsUpsellit sends perfectly timed dynamic emailsRelated productsEducate users about return policiesStay top of mind for consumer
- 3rd in the funnel is CART ABADNONMENT Reasons here are magnified from previous stageMeaning, user I comparing other resellers and has even more intent associated with a particular item
- ComScore study stated that 54% of respondents felt that shipping costs made the total cost more than expected. Provide Shipping Costs Early: Calculator is a good ideaBalanced Shipping Costs: Make sure you include the least expensive shipping option, abandonment rates spike when shipping costs exceed 15% of the AOVOffer free shipping: 55% of online shoppers have come to expect free shipping (ComScore)Minimum Orders: (incentivize customers to spend more to get incentives and drive larger AOVs)Factor All Costs In: Present any additional charges before the visitor begins checkout. Sneaking in last minute charges will only reduce profitability.
- Armed with the knowledge about how to optimize against cart abandonment, you can also use UpSellit’s leading tools to help REMINDER: these aren’t the only ways we can reduce abandonment and these are not our only solutions… just an example of one way we can reduce abandonment.
- LAST STAGE is Checkout abandonment, these are the final funnel pages typically associated with personal info, shipping details, and of course… payment.Various reasons for abandonment are listed above (list some)
- Auto-Populate CITY AND STATE: by collecting a user’s ZIP code first, you can eliminate the need for them to type out their city, state, countrySpeak Security: ie: say secure checkout instead of simply checkout. Visual Cues to reinforce security: inset areas of sensitive information in greyed out boxes, use padlock icons and secure badges, TRUSTe, McAfee, BBB and Norton badges have also proven to have a profound impact. Clearly Define the Process with something like a progress bar:Real-Time Feedback with checkmarks and error messages when appropriate: provide a checkmark if info is entered correctly, display errors before
