How to measure and what affects e-commerce conversion rate?

To calculate what your conversion rate is, you simply need to apply for the following equation:

The number of conversions / The number of page visits x 100%

According to Smart Insights research, the mean conversion rate globally in Q3 2018 was 2.42%. This means that there were only 24 conversions per 1000 visits on average worldwide. Now that you know how to measure the e-commerce conversion rate, take a look at your own statistics and scroll further.

There are a lot of factors impacting the size of your conversion rate. For instance, site layout and design can negatively affect conversion rate. Many reasons lie in the structure of the website:

  • inappropriate product descriptions,
  • complicated payment methods,
  • low quality photos,
  • overpriced delivery options, etc.

All of these can put potential clients off. Another issue is the lack of a suitable offer and promotion, and consequently very little chance to stand out among competitors.

What kind of activities can you implement in order to increase your conversion rate by even 10%? The answer is web push notifications.

What is a web push notification?

Web push notifications are small windows that appear on desktops and mobile devices even when a user has already left the site but is still surfing the web. You can use them to send concise messages, which CTR can reach even 20%.

It is only needed for users to agree to receive such communication from a website that they visit. One click is enough to become a subscriber. **No personal data or cookies are required. **

In order to save time, you can schedule when web push notification has to be sent, e.g. when someone abandoned the shopping cart or hasn't been on the store's website for a long time.

web push as a tool for conversion rate optimization
1

**A potential client, for unknown reasons, abandons their cart. **

You cannot fully avoid this situation even if your site structure is flawless. However, every cloud has a silver lining and you can easily encourage the would-be customer to come back to finalize their purchase. How to improve the situation and benefit from some conversion rate optimization? After obtaining their permission, send them a web push notification with a message about abandoned cart. If the reason for giving up the transaction was, for example, lack of time, then there is a great possibility of them resuming the purchase.

2

The customer has not made any purchases in your shop for a long time.

How to reach this person and encourage them to visit your e-store again? Web push notifications for the win! You can personalize your message to the extent that the client literally won’t resist coming back to your online shop, which will in turn contribute to increasing your e-commerce conversion rate.

3

You introduce a brand new, blockbuster collection. You are obviously trying to generate some buzz around it on social media or via e-mail marketing, but this doesn’t seem to be effective.

What can impact conversion rate better than... special offers? Web push notifications allow you to send messages about the newest product lines or about current discounts. Using web push notifications this way helps you to build some awareness of your brand and to reach the target groups you care most about.
