It’s hard to believe that back to school season is already upon us. In just a couple of weeks, students all over Canada will be returning back to their classrooms. Or will they? With the coronavirus pandemic still a major problem, many parents are opting for their children to learn from home. Nevertheless, preparing the kids for going back to school is necessary. And that means your business needs to be prepared to meet the needs of students.
Have you considered updating your website in an effort boost back to school sales? You may wish to consider the following suggestions.
Develop coupon codes.
As mentioned, the majority of parents all over Canada are placing the health of their children as a top priority. That doesn’t mean, however, that they’ve forgotten how to bargain hunt. One of the top draws to your website, this back to school season, will be your competitive prices. However, instead of just lowering prices, you may wish to consider a technique that will help to promote long-term support.
By offering coupon codes, you can appeal to parents’ and students’ needs – both future and immediate. With a coupon code, you will not only encourage immediate purchases, but give online shoppers options of returning to your website in future to redeem those codes. The savings you offer will also elicit larger transactions.
Offer free shipping.
The vast majority of online shoppers consider free shipping a major selling point. Updating your online store with “free shipping” imagery is a great way to get more visitors to click “buy”. Remember that budget-conscious shoppers are everywhere. When they see something on your site that guarantees savings, they will be a lot less likely to log out and visit other websites.
Don’t assume that offering free shipping will automatically translate into revenue loss. Consider adjusting your product prices to make up for the difference.
Update your blog.
