BUSINESS BUILDING INSIGHTS
- An online presence is important so you can be in front of your ideal customers at the exact moment they are ready to purchase from you.
- When someone searches for your business in Google they are looking for your website, not a Facebook page.
- Creating a website and online store is so much easier than it once was. It's not as scary as it may seem. Don't let the idea stop you from getting started.
- Building your website is not a one day process. Break it down into bite-size pieces.
- Shopify is built for the needs of the merchant. They offer connections to other sales channels such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, and much more.
- Keep your product and category names clear instead of clever so they can be found (listen to episode 269 for more on SEO for your online shop).
Tips For An Amazing Shopify Store
- Use high-quality photos of your products <-- this is key!
- Create product categories that make sense to your customers
- Limit featured products on your home page to no more than 8
- Before you select a design theme, look at the reviews and developer information
- Shopify Apps are a great way to add functionality to your store
- Tell your story throughout your site
- When advertising, direct links to specific products, not your home page
- Optimize your shop for customer experience
- In product descriptions, create imagery with your words in addition to the specs
