Millions of items are purchased online every day. As a result, companies must look for ways to attract Internet shoppers.
Interestingly, marketing professionals are trying to persuade people to buy products online by using strategies that were
used in the past to increase sales in shops.
When people are uncertain about something, they often look at what other people are doing to help them make up their
mind. By showing the most popular items on their site, marketers show shoppers what other people are buying. They
can also publish customer reviews, in an attempt to influence potential buyers.
In addition, people usually want what they can’t have. If they think that a product is only available for a limited time,
they are more likely to purchase it. Online marketers can make people think that a product will soon be unavailable, by
using slogans like “For one week only” or “While stocks last!”
People who work in marketing claim that if a person is already committed to buying one product, it will be easier to
convince him to purchase something else as well. This is also true online. For this reason, websites often display related
items near each other, like they do in shops. This makes it quicker and easier
to sell more items.
It’s also important for companies to make shoppers feel that they aren’t taking a risk by purchasing a product. Many
online shopping sites promise shoppers that they will refund money if they aren’t satisfied with any of their products.
Finally, it’s clear that people feel much more confident about purchasing a product when they have actually seen
it. Pictures and videos on Internet shopping sites make this possible.
Although many of these strategies are useful in helping companies attract customers, it’s important to remember
that if you want your company to be successful, you will need good products. Some things never change, even in
the digital age!
