Considering the trend, here we are sharing the most important features companies need to opt for their eCommerce business to get good boost and grow in the market. This is highly recommended for startups.

Top Features that lead to building up an effective eCommerce site & business:

Platform/Theme [First and Foremost Step] : Well, this is base for everything; it’s a pillar on which your business will be dependent so you need to choose it carefully. There are lots of popular platforms available to use but we highly recommend using WordPress or Magento.

WordPress is best if you have budget constraint and fewer products to show on site. WordPress is very efficient if you also want to keep blogs on website. Talking about Magento, it’s most successful and widely used platform these days and there are right reasons for the same and those are: As its admin is easily understandable and manageable. This is what a non-technical person prefers who wants to manage admin on their own. It’s also preferable for companies who have huge catalogue to show on website and that is what trending in eCommerce. Also companies are opting for latest magento version which is version2 for its advanced features. You can review more information about Magento 2 here – Magento Migration brochure

Checkout process [Money is important so pay attention to this] : If an individual is not comfortable with checkout process then you can expect a BIG question mark with money inflow. Okay, he/she had an amazing time reviewing the products and information but when it comes to checkout, if it is a complex process then individual will not proceed and the products will forever remain in shopping cart so keep this process very SIMPLE.
Website Content [Each word is important] : It’s a misconception that people put their whole focus on images. NO, they do read content as well. Talking about, it includes, proper and relevant headings, detailed product information. Obviously you don’t want to face hassle of keep exchanging the products with customers, so it’s better to provide them all relevant information in advance.
Online Marketing Strategy [Competing is not EASY] : There are so many eCommerce portals these days so it becomes highly important to be best at marketing strategies to attract customers. So what to include in marketing strategy is a BIG question. You need to be active on social media as people prefer to review the pages and customer ratings before they spend. Also attracting them with new arrivals and various discount offers is a best strategy ANY DAY. Providing offers on Mobile and email is highly preferable but make sure it’s not repetitive as it leads to irritation. You need to have good marketing team in order to pull things up for your business.
