How to increase the conversion of an online store: Checklist for 2021
Conversions are a very important attribute for an online store. Assessing the percentage of conversions, the owner of an Internet resource can judge the success of the work carried out and the effectiveness of marketing solutions. Thus, the conversion rate is directly proportional to the success of the Internet resource, especially if we are talking about an online store.
For different types of sites, the conversion may consist of different things. For example, for a website promoting an application, a conversion can be a subscription to a newsletter or a download of this application itself. In the case of an online store, conversion is filling out a form, choosing a product and ordering it. Summing up the line, it can be stated that conversion in the world of Internet marketing is an action performed by the user that is useful for the site and its owner.
The conversion rate is calculated using two values, namely, the number of users who visited your site in a certain period of time and the number of users who completed the target action. By dividing the number of users who have performed a targeted action by the number of users who have visited your Internet resource, you can get the conversion rate of your Internet resource. A good conversion rate for different niches is different values. It all depends on the specifics of the products, the resource and the type of conversion that you need.
Creating a turnkey online store is a long and exhausting process, but your future achievements and successes directly depend on the quality of its implementation. Having spent enough time searching for a web studio capable of creating a high-quality online store for you, you can thereby lay the foundation for your future promotion and development of the company. In order for the quality of the site to be at the highest level, and no compromises were applied to your resource – the best solution would be to turn to the leaders of the Internet development niche, such as the Gloss web studio.

Is it possible to influence the conversion rate
As we have already found out, the conversion rate is closely related to the analysis of the success of a marketing campaign and the overall effectiveness of promotion. Consequently, in order to improve the effectiveness of promotion or analyze its effectiveness, many specialists turn to the conversion rate. The conversion rate is of great importance not only from a marketing, but also from a commercial point of view. The more often your products are ordered from you and the more often your applications are installed– the more successful your business is and the more money it brings.
We have already understood the fact that conversions are closely related to success, but how to influence them and is it possible? In fact, there are hundreds of methods of how you can influence the conversion rate. This parameter is the quintessence of everything related to web development and user experience, and therefore, to improve this indicator, you can resort to a variety of methods.
In order to introduce you more closely to the methods of influencing the conversion rate of your online store, we decided to create a small checklist that describes the basic decisions and actions that can affect the conversion rate of your site. This checklist is introductory, because as we said earlier, you can influence the conversion rate by a variety of methods. As for the checklist of basic techniques for improving the conversion rate of an online store – it looks like this.
1. Focus on the usability of the site, its usability and user experience
Optimization of an Internet resource is a very important process aimed at ensuring that search algorithms are ultimately satisfied with your resource. But while pursuing the approval of search algorithms, do not forget that people, not robots, give you their money.
The usability of the site is an incredibly important aspect and an eternal companion of the development of the online store, and of any Internet resource in general. The more convenient it is for your customers to place orders on your Internet resource, the more often they do it, and this is statistics. But how to influence the usability of the site and what should be done in order to improve the conversion rate from this point of view?
General changes related to the usability of the site
In order to understand how to improve the conversion rate, first you need to understand the reasons for its low values. To do this, you can contact specialists so that they conduct an audit of your Internet resource. In terms of usability, there are hundreds of different parameters and moments that can scare the user away. One of the most important among them is the loading speed of the site pages and the percentage of offset of the Internet resource template during the loading process. These two parameters are not only catastrophically important for users, recently they have also become separate metrics for the Google search engine. Thus, the company strives to improve the user experience of the user and make the Google search engine the most convenient for consumers.
In addition to the speed and offset parameters, you should also consider much simpler things such as layout and mobile version. If your Internet resource cannot boast of high-quality and intuitive layout, it's time to make changes to it. The result of such a decision should be a complete rethinking of how the user interacts with each individual page of your Internet resource and how he interacts with the entire site as a whole. This should also include the design of your Internet resource as an integral part of the user experience.
The thing is that the user not only strives to get results quickly, he also wants the appearance of the resource to attract him and be convenient for use. In order to improve the user experience, you should think about redesigning in accordance with the latest trends in the web industry. Focusing on trends, you should also not forget about functionality. The fewer meaningless buttons there are in front of the client– the more attention he will pay to the landing pages and the more conversions will be on your Internet resource.
Mobile version
Special attention should be paid to the mobile version of the site, which still does not exist on a certain number of Internet resources. In this case, it is important to realize that more than 60% of users, according to the data provided by Google, use their smartphones to buy groceries, clothes, order tickets and other things. The share of smartphones on the Internet is constantly increasing, and therefore optimizing websites to work with them is a primary task for any company.
If you are just planning to order the creation of a turnkey online store from specialists - pay attention to the principle of Mobile First. This principle implies that the online store is primarily developed for use on a smartphone. After the original mobile version is ready– it will be adapted to work on a PC. Thus, the user gets the same user experience regardless of the device and can use all the functions regardless of which particular device is currently at his disposal.
Creating a smart site search
Creating an online store website is a long process, and its duration directly depends on the size of the catalog of the future Internet resource. The more products in the catalog of your online store– the more chances that you will find what the client needs, at the same time it becomes more difficult to find the necessary product for the client. In order to correct the current situation and improve the user experience of your buyer, you should resort to creating a smart search.
Smart search is a special search bar that can help your customer quickly find the product he needs by simply entering its name or category in the search bar.
This method was perfectly integrated from search engines into online stores. It significantly facilitated the search for the necessary goods and reduced the duration of the user's session from visiting the first page of the site to placing an order.
The significance of such a search is difficult to assess, because it is of great importance for the quality and value of the user experience. The more convenient it is for your customers to order goods from you and the faster they can do it– the higher the chance that the order will still happen, and you will not only get an increase in the conversion rate, but also make a profit.
Each of the listed methods of influencing usability will certainly bring its own result. In order for the result to be similar to the amount of effort spent on it, it is necessary that the process of setting up usability, redesign and creating a mobile version of the site be handled exclusively by highly qualified specialists with specific experience and cases. If you don't want to waste time searching, but want to work exclusively with market leaders, order the creation and optimization of an online store from specialists of the Gloss web studio.

2. Presentation of goods and appearance of product cards
As we said earlier, conversion is a useful action, and what could be more useful for an online store than placing an order? In order to increase sales turnover, it is important that all the design elements of your product, its description and technical characteristics are as accurate and attractive as possible.
There are a lot of methods how to influence the appearance of the product catalog and each product card separately. Almost all methods are effective in one way or another. In order to simplify the decision-making regarding the work on the presentation of the product, we decided to list the basic actions that have a noticeable effect. Next, we will look at the most affordable methods of working on the presentation of the product and talk about how to sell your products to the customer.
Work on the design and description of the product
Text information is the factor that the user takes into account when choosing a specific model or product. The more comprehensive your information is– the higher the chance that the user will give preference to a particular product, and your business will receive income. In order to achieve the desired result, it is very important that all the technical characteristics of your products are taken exclusively from manufacturers' websites. This way you can avoid misunderstandings and be sure that the information you provide is true.
Also, do not forget about the titles and descriptions of the product card itself.
Using the provided descriptions from manufacturers is great, but that's what all your competitors do. Your task in this case is to stand out from the gray crowd and offer the user information that he has not received before. To do this, you can contact a specialist who will rewrite the unique description of a particular product. You can also resort to the help of experienced designers who will be able to write a detailed text review of the models you are interested in.
This approach is not really involved yet, and therefore using it - the chance of success increases markedly. Nowadays, it is important for Google that your content is as useful to the user as possible, and therefore a detailed review from a specialist together with descriptions from the manufacturer will be a much more effective solution.
Product presentation and use of photo and video materials
Despite the importance of the text and characteristics, the user primarily buys with his eyes. In order for the product you presented to be more attractive to the client, it is important that you take care of both photos and videos. If you are engaged in the sale of products of your own production or cooperate with those who are engaged in such products and supply them to you for sale – an excellent solution would be to arrange a professional photo shoot for all positions. So you can show a potential customer how great your product is, and he, in turn– will be interested in the purchase.
It would not be superfluous to publish a product review, if any. This will allow your potential customers not to waste time reading template descriptions – and immediately look at the advantages and disadvantages of the product. You can create such a review yourself, but you can also negotiate with techno or food bloggers, thereby receiving additional advertising at the expense of a media personality leading a review of your product.
You can also add a three-dimensional product model so that the user can view all the details of the product they are purchasing. This solution is especially relevant for those who plan to order the creation of a turnkey online store and continue to sell household appliances or wearable gadgets. It is very important for the user to understand exactly how the gadget that he buys will look, and therefore the use of three-dimensional models in this case is more than justified.
Reviews and ratings
When purchasing cheap goods, users rarely rely on someone else's opinion, since even if the product turns out to be of poor quality, it will be extremely difficult to call its acquisition a loss. But when buying expensive smartphones or appliances, users want to get as much relevant information as possible, not only from the store that benefits from selling the equipment, but also from the users who bought it.
By giving your customers the opportunity to leave reviews about the product and evaluate it, you can thereby achieve greater loyalty, which in the future may affect the customer's attitude to your online store. By giving users the opportunity to view reviews and leave them, you thereby show the client that he is the most important to you, and you strive to ensure that he buys the product that suits him the most. In addition, the presence of reviews has a positive effect on the promotion and overall image of your organization, and therefore it is definitely worth adding them to the product catalog.
Focus on important buttons
Very often on the Internet you can find large online stores in the catalog, which are extremely difficult to understand. All the important buttons are scattered on the user's screen, and even intending to purchase a product, the client needs to understand how to do it. In order to save your customers from such a need, you should think about how to focus on all the buttons.
In the case of products and their cards, the most important buttons are the “buy in one click” and “add to cart" buttons. These buttons are of great importance for the turnover of your online store, and therefore the emphasis on them should be maximum. It also depends on these buttons how high the conversion rate of your online store will be, so when planning its creation, decide in advance how you will focus the user's attention on the right buttons. If you already own an online store or do not want to engage in the selection of the necessary accents - contact specialists in the field of design. They will not only help you to redesign the site, but also create attention-grabbing buttons, which in turn can noticeably affect both conversion rates and the final turnover of the online store.
By making the described changes to the product catalog of our online store, you can significantly affect the user experience and the comfort of staying on your site. When thinking about whether it is worth changing something or not, remember that it is the client who brings money to the online store, and therefore if there is an opportunity to increase his zeal for the target action– it is definitely worth doing.
3. Add or improve the interaction of the site with the client
Choosing a product is a very responsible and exciting moment, especially if this product is relatively expensive. Most users need professional help when choosing a product or gadget, but unlike an offline store, there is usually nowhere to take it on the site. That is why most users turn to bloggers for a review and opinion about a particular gadget.
In order to keep your customer as much as possible and reduce the likelihood that he will leave without ordering the goods – you need to minimize his needs to go somewhere. Earlier we have already talked about several methods of providing information using the site, but now we will talk about the direct interaction of the client not only with your site, but also with its operators.
In the age of technology, when a user can buy anything on the site, most users lack professional help and advice on various issues. In order to help your client, you should think about how to set up interaction between him and your team. There are several popular ways to do this, each of which has found its application in a variety of sites of different categories. Next, we will look at several options for how to set up interaction with the client so that the result of this interaction is a completed target action.
Place an online chat on the site pages
In order to achieve conversion, it is important that the operator at the other end of the chat is a real person capable of answering the user's questions, so you will not get off with a bot.
By deciding to launch an online consultant, you will be able to significantly improve the user experience of users, their loyalty to your store, and also significantly affect the percentage of conversions of the online store. Users really like to be taken care of, and therefore if you provide an opportunity to quickly get an answer to an existing question, your client will definitely appreciate it. In addition, such a decision can significantly affect the number of conversions and business profits, since your consultant can provide not only answers to questions, but also recommend certain products in a particular category.
Feedback form
Another popular method of configuring user interaction with your site is the placement of a feedback form, this form assumes that the client can order a callback or message in order to get answers to his questions.
Launching such a form is much easier than hosting an online chat, since in an online chat you need a person who will not only know the product catalog, but will also be competent on all issues related to your products. In the case of the feedback form, the user can ask a question, and your subordinate, having found the appropriate answer to the question, can contact him by phone or by e-mail. Despite the fact that the feedback form is much more convenient for the site owner – the most effective is an online chat, because even a user who is not familiar with technology can get comprehensive information and advice in it, which he needs so much.
Summing up the results of this article, I would like to note that this list of impacts on conversion rates is far from complete.

How a website audit can transform your business
A website audit is not a simple check, it is a necessity that allows you to deeply understand both the technical and marketing aspects of your site. Is your website optimized for search engines? Does it communicate effectively with your potential customers? The answers to these questions can radically change your approaches and strategies. Ordering a website analysis can reveal hidden issues that are holding back your site's lead generation and customer acquisition potential. Whether you're looking to improve your site's search engine rankings or increase user satisfaction, an audit can provide you with the tools and guidance you need.
We will look at how a carefully prepared audit can significantly improve your website and make it more competitive. We will discuss what aspects of a website are checked during an audit, what benefits it can bring to your business, and how you can order a website audit from professionals to ensure the best results.
Why does your business need a website audit?
Excellent website usability is not just a nice bonus, but a critical condition for ensuring online success. A website audit allows you to analyze in detail how conveniently and efficiently users interact with your site, and how this affects your business's ability to achieve its goals. Here are some reasons why it is important:
- Increase user satisfaction: An audit reveals navigation and interface issues that may prevent users from easily and intuitively finding the information they need or performing the actions they want on your site. Improving these aspects can significantly increase your visitors' satisfaction.
- Reduce bounce rate: When users find it difficult to navigate the site or perform the necessary actions, they are more likely to leave the site without converting. An audit helps to identify and fix design elements that can lead to a high bounce rate.
- Increase conversions: Website optimization can have a direct impact on your conversions. For example, simplifying the checkout process or improving the visibility of a call-to-action button can significantly increase the number of successful transactions.
- Search engine optimization: SEO audit and optimization is part of the overall website audit and focuses on aspects that affect your website's visibility in search engines. Analyzing keywords, meta tags, URL structure, and other SEO practices will help to push your website higher in search results.
- Improving accessibility: The audit also assesses how accessible your site is to people with disabilities. Ensuring accessibility not only expands your target audience, but also emphasizes your responsibility as a business.
- Optimization for mobile devices: Nowadays, it's important that your website is optimized for mobile users. An audit will help ensure that your website works efficiently on all types of devices, improving the overall user experience.
Ensuring a high quality website is an investment in customer satisfaction and the efficiency of your online space. Ordering a professional audit can help you identify critical issues and resolve them before they negatively affect your business.

This is very useful for improving page structure and content.
- Report and recommendations: At the final stage, we compile a detailed report that includes all the issues we found and specific recommendations for fixing them. We provide practical advice that can be implemented quickly to improve your website.

What are the advantages of websites over mobile apps?
Different companies are faced with the choice between developing mobile apps and websites every day. While mobile apps may seem convenient and innovative, it's important not to ignore the numerous advantages of websites. Ordering a website is not just an investment in an online presence, but a strategic decision that can significantly reduce development and maintenance costs, provide a wider audience reach, and improve search engine rankings.
We'll take a closer look at why websites compare favorably to mobile apps, analyzing their functionality, accessibility, and maintenance costs. The importance of websites in today's digitalized landscape cannot be underestimated, as they play a key role in attracting customers, expanding the market, and optimizing the user experience.
What is a website and a mobile application?
Websites and mobile apps play vital roles in promoting a business, but they have significant differences. A mobile app is a program downloaded and installed on a mobile device that can use the phone's system capabilities, such as a camera, GPS, or gyroscope. They can offer a more personalized experience, but they require significant investment to develop and maintain.
Therefore, choosing between website development and in-house development usually turns out to be a more profitable and effective solution.
Main advantages of websites
Websites offer a number of benefits that make them an attractive choice for businesses of all sizes. Let's take a look at a few of the key benefits you should consider when considering a website for your business.
- Universal access: One of the main advantages of websites is their accessibility. Visitors can access your site from any device that has an Internet connection, regardless of the operating system. This provides a wide audience reach and the ability to attract more potential customers.
- Cost-effectiveness: Ordering a website is often much cheaper than developing a mobile app. The cost of developing and maintaining a website is lower because you don't need to create separate versions for different platforms, such as iOS and Android. In addition, updates and changes to the site can be implemented faster and easier, which reduces overall maintenance costs.
- SEO and marketing benefits: Websites provide better opportunities for search engine optimization (SEO). This means that your website can rank higher in search engines, increasing the chances of being discovered by potential customers. Optimizing your website for search engines helps to increase its visibility and attract more organic traffic.
- Improving the user experience: Websites can offer a rich and user-friendly user interface that is adapted for different devices, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktops. With a responsive design, users can easily navigate the site, which improves the overall user experience and can increase conversion rates.
With these benefits in mind, building a website is a rational choice for businesses looking to maximize the benefits of their online presence. Not only do websites save money and resources, but they also provide ample opportunities to scale and grow your business.
Why do users abandon mobile apps?
Despite the significant development of mobile technology and the increase in the number of available apps, many users still prefer websites. This is due to a number of reasons that point to certain disadvantages of mobile apps and limitations that can affect the user experience.
Most users do not see the need to install mobile applications when they can easily access the same services or information through a website on their laptop or smartphone via a browser. This is especially true for those services that users use infrequently or sporadically.
Additionally, users emphasize that mobile apps often take up too much space on their devices, which can be critical for those with limited storage space. There are also concerns about battery and mobile data consumption, especially when apps are running in the background or transferring large amounts of data.
Privacy and security issues
One of the biggest concerns that pushes users away from mobile apps is the issue of privacy and security. Many apps require extensive permissions to access personal information such as contacts, location, social media data, and even personal files, which raises concerns among users about how this data is collected, stored, and used. There is also a fear that mobile apps may be vulnerable to hacking, especially those that store sensitive financial data or personal information. Data breaches at large companies that have made headlines only reinforce these concerns.
These factors contribute to the fact that many users prefer to use websites that do not require a download and provide quick access to services without the need to install resource-consuming applications. This confirms that websites can be a more convenient and secure solution for many users. However, for many companies, creating a website will prove to be the most optimal solution to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
To summarize, a careful choice between website and mobile app development should be based on the specific needs of the business, its target audience, and available resources. However, for many companies, ordering a website will prove to be the most optimal solution that allows them to effectively attract customers and provide high quality service with minimal costs and complexity.
What are progressive web applications and what are their advantages
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) are changing the way we think about what websites can do. This technology combines the best of the web and mobile applications, offering speed and usability that was previously only possible in apps. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what progressive web apps are, what technologies are behind them, their benefits, and key implementation considerations. We will pay special attention to how progressive web applications can transform your business by providing a better user experience and increasing productivity.
What are progressive web applications?
Progressive web applications are a type of software that is split into a website and a mobile application. This allows users to install web applications on their devices and use them in a similar way to regular mobile applications. An important feature of PWAs is that they use web browser technologies but offer functionality that is usually associated only with mobile applications.
The PWA concept was first introduced by Google in 2015. The goal was to make the web experience as convenient and fast as possible. Since then, the technology has gained significant development and support, especially from companies seeking to improve the mobile user experience without losing the versatility and accessibility of the web.
Technologies used in advanced web applications
Progressive web applications use a number of modern web technologies to provide users with an experience that is as close as possible to mobile applications. The most important of these technologies are:
- Service Workers - scripts that run in the background, independently of the web page, and allow you to manage network requests, cache resources, and use push notifications.
- Manifest file - a JSON file that allows developers to install a web application on the home screen, set the icon and the start screen.
- Using HTTPS - ensuring the security of user data and the reliable operation of web applications.
Why progressive web applications are better than traditional sites
Improving the user experience
Progressive web applications are characterized by extremely fast loading speeds and high responsiveness, which is ensured by data caching and intelligent management of network requests. This means that users are able to access content instantly, regardless of the quality of their Internet connection, which significantly improves the overall user experience.
Offline access and support for push notifications
One of the defining features of PWA is the ability to work offline. This is achieved thanks to Service Workers technology, which allows web applications to cache important content and provide access to it without the need for an Internet connection. In addition, PWAs can use push notifications to inform users about news, updates, or special offers even when they are not using the web application.
Increase engagement and conversion rates
Thanks to better user experience and offline capabilities, PWAs demonstrate high rates of user engagement and increased conversions. The ability to load quickly and run smoothly on any device ensures higher customer loyalty and a higher likelihood of completing targeted actions, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.
Steps to implement progressive web applications in your business
Implementing progressive web applications may seem daunting, but with the right approach, the process can be efficient and smooth. Here are the basic steps to integrate PWA into your business:
- Audit the current state of the website - check if your site is ready for conversion to PWA. This includes ensuring HTTPS compatibility, site responsiveness on different devices, and the availability of all necessary technical aspects.
- Developing and configuring Service Workers is a key component of PWA that allows the website to work offline and use push notifications.
- Creating a web app manifest - a manifest allows users to add your app to the home screen of their devices, providing easier access and a more native experience.
- PWA testing - ensure that your PWA works properly across all devices and browsers, with special attention to offline mode and loading speed.
- Monitoring and updating - once your PWA is up and running, it's important to keep it up to date and make updates to resolve any issues or improve functionality.
To illustrate how easily and quickly users can install a progressive web application on their devices, we have prepared an animated GIF. This GIF shows the process from the moment a user visits a website to the moment they install the web application on the home screen of their mobile device. This demonstrates the simplicity and ease of use of PWAs, as well as their ability to offer a native experience through a web browser.
Progressive web apps are a powerful tool for business development, offering speed, convenience, and an enhanced user experience comparable to native mobile apps. They allow you to achieve a high level of customer engagement, provide the ability to work offline and send push notifications, which is critical in today's dynamic market. Thanks to their ease of installation and efficiency, PWAs can significantly increase conversion rates and improve the overall user experience.
If you're looking for a way to make your web experience more efficient and engaging, progressive web applications can be a great solution. Remember that proper implementation and ongoing updates are essential to the success of any technology solution. Don't hesitate to bring in professionals to help you optimize your website to turn it into a responsive web app and take full advantage of its capabilities.
Virtual fitting rooms in online stores: how artificial intelligence is changing shopping
In a world where technology is changing every aspect of our lives, online shopping has become one of the fastest growing areas. However, despite all the convenience that shopping from home offers, there is one problem that still makes many shoppers hesitate before clicking the "buy" button: the inability to try on clothes before buying. This is where innovative technologies, such as virtual fitting rooms, come into play, promising to revolutionize the way we buy clothes online.
Virtual fitting room is a cutting-edge technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to allow customers to try on clothes virtually before making a purchase. This innovation has the potential not only to provide a better online shopping experience, but also to fundamentally change the entire retail sector.
Our company is closely monitoring this area of technology and expects its rapid development in the near future. We believe that the integration of such innovations will not only increase customer satisfaction, but will also significantly improve the efficiency of online stores by reducing the number of returns due to mismatched sizes or appearance of goods.
Evolution of virtual fitting rooms
From early experiments to today's advanced systems, virtual fitting rooms have come a long way. Initial attempts to implement digital solutions for trying on clothes were criticized due to poor visualization quality and limited functionality. However, with the advent of advanced artificial intelligence technologies and improved image processing algorithms, virtual fitting rooms are becoming much more accurate and useful for the end user.
The key to the success of virtual fitting rooms lies in the use of a range of technologies. This includes computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image processing algorithms. These technologies allow to analyze users' photos in real time, adapting clothes to their body parameters. In addition, advanced interfaces ensure that these systems are intuitive and easy to use.
Benefits for consumers and businesses
Virtual fitting rooms offer significant benefits for both customers and store owners. For consumers, it is an opportunity to visually assess how the clothes will fit them without having to visit a physical store or wait for the goods to be delivered. This significantly increases customer satisfaction and reduces the number of returns. On the other hand, retailers are able to attract more customers by offering a unique shopping experience and reduce the costs associated with handling returns. As a result, virtual fitting rooms not only boost sales but also improve business sustainability.
Online fitting - how does it work?
Integrating a virtual fitting room into a website requires a comprehensive approach that includes the development or implementation of specialized software. This software uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze user-entered data, such as body measurements, or even real-time photos or videos to create an accurate virtual image on which to "try on" clothes.
Artificial intelligence plays a key role in the functioning of virtual fitting rooms, as it analyzes and processes user data to create an accurate three-dimensional model. Such systems can recommend the most suitable size of clothing, taking into account not only the size but also the personal preferences of users regarding the fit of clothing. The introduction of virtual fitting rooms is changing not only the way people buy clothes, but also the overall online shopping experience. Customers are able not only to visually see how the clothes will look on them, but also to experiment with different styles and colors without the need to physically visit the store. This interactive approach can greatly enhance the user experience, increasing shopping satisfaction while reducing the likelihood of returning an item due to a failure to meet expectations.
Advantages of online clothing fitting
The use of online clothing fitting technologies brings significant benefits that affect both the consumer experience and the efficiency and sustainability of retail business models. Let's look at the key aspects of these benefits:
Reducing the number of product returns
One of the biggest challenges for online retailers is the high number of returns, which is often due to mismatches in sizing or customer expectations of how the product looks. Online clothing fitting can significantly reduce this risk by giving customers a better understanding of how the clothes will fit them, which in turn leads to more confident purchases and fewer returns.
Increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty
Enhancing the online shopping experience through a virtual fitting room helps to increase overall customer satisfaction. Interactivity and personalization of purchases strengthen the relationship between brands and their customers, encouraging repeat purchases and increasing loyalty.
Impact on environmental friendliness and business sustainability
Reducing the number of returns not only improves economic efficiency for businesses, but also has a positive impact on the environment. Reducing the need to transport returned goods helps to reduce the carbon footprint of companies, making them more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
The future of the fitting room for an online store
One of the main trends is to improve the accuracy and interactivity of virtual fitting rooms through the expanded use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This includes the development of algorithms that can analyze the more subtle nuances of users' figures, as well as integration with virtual and augmented reality to create a more immersive fitting experience.
Artificial intelligence not only improves virtual fitting rooms, but also opens up new opportunities for personalizing fashion offers. This can include automatic clothing recommendations based on previous purchases, lifestyle, and personal preferences, which will significantly improve the user experience and shopping efficiency.
By closely following these trends and actively experimenting with virtual fitting rooms, our company strives not only to optimize our customers' experience, but also to act as an integration leader in the market. Recognizing the importance of these innovations, we are confident that the further introduction and development of virtual fitting rooms will not only contribute to the growth of our company, but will also play an important role in shaping the future of online retail by making shopping more convenient, personalized and sustainable.
