Lots of Traffic, But No Sales?

So you have finally launched your e-commerce store with WooCommerce, that’s great! Buuuut…. you have few or even zero sales. You know that in order to encourage sales, you need reviews. But without reviews, you can’t get sales. You see traffic coming to your site, but it’s just not converting and you are now staring out your office window wondering “What next?”. What you need is a way to build customer trust in your store, beyond just offering great pricing, fast shipping and high quality lifestyle shots. You need social proof.

High Cart Abandonment?

On average, 70% of e-commerce shopping carts are abandoned before purchase. The main reasons for this are higher than expected shipping costs and lead times, and lack of trust in your store. You need to be able to convince buyers that your store is legitimate, has a loyal following of buyers and delivers high quality and valuable products to its customers which solve their problems. You need social proof. Sure you can add some fake reviews reviews to your site with 4 and 5 star ratings… You can add long-winded fictional testimonials about the quality of your products and how fast the shipping was. But is that ethical, or even believable? You need authentic and REAL social proof.

Amazon’s 3 Review Minimum

Did you know that Amazon has now surpassed Google for the most searches for online shopping? And that 55% of shoppers check Amazon first before buying products elsewhere? On Amazon, you really can’t get any sales traction until you have at least 3 reviews over 4 stars. Here’s a shot of a new product I launched on Amazon.ca in a very crowded dry bag niche. Notice how I added value by bundling the 2 dry bags with 2 phone cases and a pouch? Clever eh? Well, still not clever enough without some reviews. Luckily, once I was able to get them, I saw a few sales a day.

How Can Social Proof Help?

Well then, what is “social proof” exactly and how does it help you make more e-commerce sales? Well, social proof is really just a demonstration that other people have made a choice to buy a product or service. Social proofs make online customers feel more comfortable purchasing from an e-commerce store. Online shoppers feel much more comfortable buying from a store if they know others have done it — and had pleasant experiences. Social proofs for an online business include its social media followers, product reviews, and blog posts or news articles that mention the company. These are all forms of validation that legitimize a business in the eyes of consumers. Any Amazon seller knows that you really don’t start to get any sales velocity until you have at least 3 to 5 reviews of 4 or 5 stars. It just makes sense.

Why Social Proof Works

Studies show that people are more likely to do something when presented with evidence that others have done it. Social proof makes it more likely that people will buy at your e-commerce store. Seeing other individuals from the same geographic area, same gender buying the same products reinforces buying decisions. Knowing others have engaged with a business creates immediate trust and indicates your company provides quality service

27 percent of online customers regularly use reviews
72% trust reviews as much as personal recommendations
65% of consumers read between 2 and 10 reviews
