10 Tips: The nearest store is just a click away
Social commerce helps reduce the anonymity of an online store and buyers sustained to convince of the shop. A particularly strong recognition effect is created, enriching the shopping experience with entertaining and lively elements.
The social commerce experts Christian Otto Grötsch, Managing Director of Preisbock GmbH, and Christian Malik, Managing Director of dotSource GmbH, give tips on the successful customer loyalty through social commerce. For several years, dotSource GmbH has been a trend-setter in the development of social commerce elements and the development of its own shop communities.
Activate your visitors: A lively online community is the basis of social commerce. Increase the length of your customers' stay and thus their binding to the shop, by giving them the opportunity to actively participate in the shop.
Use forums or blogs: Community elements such as forums or blogs can be effective tools for this by giving users the opportunity of mutual exchange - about the range of goods, experiences with specific products or questions about shipping and payment methods. This user community creates a sense of togetherness, the shop is filled with life and loses its anonymity.
Make your customers experts: Give your customers the opportunity to recommend and advise themselves. Through a targeted integration of customers through comments and reviews you generate for interested parties a valuable purchase decision aid with a particularly high credibility. This often makes it unnecessary to search for background information. Questions from users are often answered among themselves.
Inform your customers: Studies prove the effectiveness of this measure right: More than 80 percent of all online shoppers include the experience reports of others in their purchase decisions. By bundling reviews on your site, you ensure better-informed customers who like to remember the assistance the next time they shop. Use the customer feedback to identify optimization potential and take an active part in the discussions.
Let your customers work for you: You can transfer part of your marketing activities to your customers through social commerce. By recommending certain products or the shop to friends, you turn your customers into consultants and save money.
Get to know your customers: In order to be able to stand out from the anonymity of many online shops, practical tools for personalization can be given to the customers. Desired or wedding lists are already widely used and offer great benefits for both buyers and sellers: While the shop visitor can initially store articles of interest in his member area, the shop owner benefits from an increased re-visit rate. Frequently, friends are also referred to the wishlists, so lists also contribute to the acquisition of new customers.
Evaluate the shop visually: Your customers can make valuable contributions to the visual upgrading of your online shop. For example, uploaded photos or videos created by the users by their high vividness create additional buying impulses for undecided visitors. This instrument is especially recommended for high-involvement topics such as shops for certain sports or modeshops.
Find the right elements: Which elements are suitable for the respective shop must be decided individually. It is important to know your own target group, their media skills and their needs exactly. Social commerce elements should make shopping more intuitive, easier and more entertaining. Surveys of your own customers, how the innovations are accepted, and understandable instructions ("How does it work ...?") Are helpful.
Analyze Your Customers: Before you make any significant changes to your online store, you should analyze your audience and their needs. Where do additional functions such as rating systems or commentary functions provide real help?
Think like the customer: put yourself in the shoes of your customers to find out what their demands on your online store are and how to make their visit as enjoyable as possible.
