2020 was a big year for the eCommerce industry, and many retailers’ businesses exponentially grew. As we transition into the new year, here are three areas of your business you should consider improving to keep your store prospering.

Create a Loyalty Program

Loyalty programs are great ways to keep your Miami customers coming back even after the holidays. Offering discounts like free shipping or freebies are low-cost rewards. 52% of consumers will join the loyalty program of a brand they make frequent purchases from. The shoppers participating in reward programs are even more likely to make larger purchases than new customers. Using rankings like stars or points to have customers meet certain reward thresholds will actually help increase your overall profit.

Refresh Your Layout

Like many eCommerce retailers have seen over the holidays, Miami shoppers appreciate custom pages that feature their favorite items. You can improve your shoppers’ experiences by refreshing the layout of your site to include sales pages, suggested items, and even category pages for specific products. Take a look at which items your customers are frequently looking for to determine which pages make the most sense on your site.

Improve Your Checkout

A large portion of cart abandonment happens due to issues during the checkout process. The inability to checkout as a guest, input discounts, or obtain free shipping are common reasons Miami shoppers leave retailers’ websites prior to making purchases. Focus on simplifying the process for your customers and creating a better shopping experience.
