Retail

Unlike brick-and-mortar shops, customers can’t touch, try on or taste the products in online stores. So it’s important to provide a comprehensive description that includes information about the features, specifications, size, color, weight, etc. You can also add videos to showcase the items best or explain to your customers how to use them.

Here are some other key requirements for online retail stores.

• High-resolution photos. Quality images are crucial when selling products online. Remember to include multiple angles, zoom-in capability, and photos of the items in use.
• Quick preview option. A Quick View feature allows customers to see more details about the product without leaving the current page, simplifying the shopping process. There are special modules, such as the BelVG module for Magento 2.
• Reviews and ratings. User-generated content covering your products’ quality helps to build trust. Therefore, it’s necessary to allow customers to leave feedback.
• Smart search functionality. The search should include filters and categories to make it easy for users to find what they need not only by product or brand name but also, for example, by ingredients or material.
• Loyalty program integration. Treat your loyal customers with points, discounts, or special deals to improve retention.

Online retailers sell a huge variety of different products. Here are three successful examples of retail stores applying the best techniques of the ecommerce industry.
