Every single day people are launching new businesses so in order for yours to be seen, you need to stand out from the crowd. Gone are the days where you can launch amateurishly and get away with it.
People expect a lot more professionalism now, they expect things to be done well and done right from the start. You want to be sure to attract people’s attention from the start. There are a million different ways to stand out from the crowd. The best way is to be creative and think outside the box. Here are 3 tips for new business owners that you might not be prioritising.
Look Polished
Everything from your social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to your actual website and ordering process needs to look polished. You can set up websites that look professional within hours now depending on what platform you use and it really does make a difference. Having matching logos, full profiles filled in, all the info people want on websites like contact info and delivery times, all the small details make a big difference.
Packaging
I can’t tell you how much something small being delivered inside a huge box with a massive amount of packaging will put me off from ever ordering from that place again. Whereas compact packaging for the item, in the brand’s colour palette packaged nicely and efficiently? That’ll have me coming back for more. It’s so important to get eCommerce business packaging right as it’ll help bring back customers.
Make It Easy
There is nothing more annoying as a consumer than having to jump through hoops to check out. If I have to close down several pop ups, create an account, answer a questionnaire, struggle to find the product I want due to poor site navigation, I’m less likely to order. The less click it takes to check out really makes me shop somewhere more. Save my details, let me log in with social media, have a fast checkout, be on Tiktok shop, Instagram shop, make it very easy for people to find and shop with you.
