Your store name & URL, the landing page, the header together will set the tone for what customer gauge about your website.

Navigation Know how:

Another key that need to incorporate is to have a stress-free navigation, letting visitors to easily find what they are looking for. Nothing turns off your customers more than having to navigate through scores of unnecessary pages & links and not finding what they are looking for. A few simple inclusions will prove to be effective. Include a ‘What’s New’ category, a ‘New Product’s tab as well as a ‘New Arrival’s feature. These will allow returning customers to see check out what’s latest rather than browsing through old collections as well as entice new visitors to stay on the site.

How unique are you:

It’s a staggeringly competitive world out there. Getting creative & selling something which people didn’t even know they require is just your starting point.

Do a lot of ground work & research, assess what it is that people really desire, understand what generates that buzz & then understand how you can achieve it.

Equally comforting for any customer is to provide them with ample shipping choices. The software you choose must be well provisioned to design a shopping cart which incorporates various shipping methods.

Bring on all these factors on board, and you are all set to start your online store.
