Start An Online Store Business Tip – Test Your Site

Posted on by DESMOND K

Why do some online stores have higher conversion rates than others even though they don’t seem very attractive?

One thing you have to remember if you want to start an online store business is that consumer behavior at online stores is vastly differently than at traditional offline stores. At offline stores, a consumer is already there and would have to travel elsewhere to purchase the same product at a different store, unless of course there’s another store nearby that also sells the item they are interested in. The situation differs drastically at online stores. Shoppers know that alternative stores are just a search result away. Switching stores can be a spur-of-the-moment, near-instantaneous decision.

Have you ever visited a site that didn’t have any images? Chances are that you have but you may not remember. Of course certain sites like research sites may not need images but if you run a web store then custom shopping cart store designs could make a difference in how your store performs.
