Posted on by Lisa

If you’ve been getting a reasonable amount of traffic to your store but you have a high abandoned cart rate, chances are it’s your shipping that’s killing your sales.

Because if buyers are adding products to the cart but they hit the brakes at checkout, it’s a clear signal that what they saw at checkout did not convince them to go ahead with the purchase.

InstanteStore Cross-Sell Feature And Cross-Sell Cart Layout

Posted on by Lisa

 

Hello everyone! Last week was quite an amazing week for China’s Alibaba who raked in a whopping $14.3 billion worth of sales within 24 hours on 11th November 2015 – China’s Singles Day. This was a great leap compared to last year’s China Singles’ Day 2014 which netted $9.3 billion in sales for Alibaba. Jack Ma must be laughing all the way to the bank!

Mobile sales alone accounted for nearly $9.8 billion worth of goods (nearly 70% of total sales alone). Looks like lots of folks were doing some serious shopping with their mobile phones during China’s Singles’ Day last week. Personally, I think the whole of China went shopping on that day alone!

But that’s done and over. NOW everyone’s excited for the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. Can’t wait to see what are the Black Friday 2015 deals going to be next week along with Cyber Monday 2015. I hope you’ve all gotten your stores ready. One of the ways that you could further promote your products is by adding cross sell.

Google Material Design

Posted on by Lisa

Google launched their new design guidelines somewhere middle of last year called Material Design because they wanted to come up with a new look and feel for all their apps. Since Google’s Android platform is being used in so many different devices and screens such as TVs, watches, mobile, automobiles, etc, they needed a streamlined design interface that is both intuitive, fluid yet responsive. Hence the Google Design team had to basically start from ground zero to create a better new design system.
