Dropshipping tips5: landing page production and optimization

Landing page is the content that you see at the first glance for traffic attracted through advertising or natural drainage, so it plays a key role in the retention of traffic! Facebook advertising is becoming more and more strict now, will review your landing page, the rules and requirements are exactly the same as advertising. If the landing page does not comply with the specification, the advertisement may not be reviewed.

A landing page is like a shopping guide in a physical store. A shopping guide with a smile is better than a cold and serious shopping guide, because it makes customers feel close. The content of the landing page must be consistent with the content of the advertisement: the advertisement sells mobile phone cases, and the landing page product is not a key chain.

Also introduce all the features of the product in as much detail as possible (if you are a big brand like ZARA, you will only write one size and material, when I didn't say it). Especially the traffic drawn from Facebook ads, most of them are "impulsive consumers." Unlike consumers with clear goals, as long as you give them a reason to buy, they will be happy to pay for it.

Dropshipping tips6: Add the company contact number on the website

Putting a company's phone number on the website will increase consumer trust. You don't need to worry about the operator's labor cost, just buy a virtual phone number and get it done easily. You can buy a virtual phone number in any part of the world. (For example, my own website uses a New York number)

After buying a virtual phone number, you can set up an automatic voice response program. For example, if there is a customer calling, the process is very simple: press 1 for order inquiry, and press 2 for other questions. If the customer presses 1, let him leave his email address and name or order information, and tell him that he will reply by email later.

Dropshipping tips7: floating shopping cart button

This feature is especially important for the mobile terminal. When users browse your product page, they keep scrolling down to browse the product page. If you finally decide to buy, you often need to swipe up again to find the buy button. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the user's operation. Remember the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) to help customers minimize the operations they need, that is, minimize their purchase conversion path.

If there is a purchase button that is always floating on the current page, it can be convenient for users to place orders at any time. It not only serves as a reminder, but also greatly reduces the user's operating time.

Dropshipping tips8: Use ChatBot

It can provide users with a sense of trust, and can collect real-time questions and feedback from users about the product. It can also help you improve the product page. The great thing about it is that it opens the messenger dialog directly in the website. Many other plugins reopen a window, which can easily distract consumers.
