  1. Shoppers today are faced with seemingly endless choices, which can lead to serious decision fatigue. Many shoppers feel frustrated shopping and end up making snap decisions. Others choose to delay a purchase or take the "nochoice", which allows them to avoid buying. Businesses and customers are facing increasing choice overload. As a result, businesses are seeking solutions to help customers choose, select and purchase the right product. It is impossible to offer a quick and easy path to the right product. You can't do it if you don't. Recognizing the negative effects of choice overload on your business and taking action to address it will help you differentiate your company and improve your perception. This article will show you how to identify the best products for selling online. It will also help you think of the most innovative and fresh product ideas. Finally, it will help to locate suppliers who offer the best terms and conditions. Although it may seem very complex, we have broken down the process into four easy steps: Assess, Strategy, Select, Implement. Each phase will have several steps that you must complete. There will be many steps to complete and questions will be asked. These are to help you determine and direct your direction in choosing the best products for your online shop. This can be done in many ways. These aren't the best. These are the best I have seen. 1) Recommendations Dynamically personalize the user's experience by using their previous searches, page views, or created wish list to keep them interested and browsing. You can also suggest complementary products or accessories to increase your upselling potential. Your ability to offer relevant products and solutions is key to the success of this approach. If you are looking for a face wash for mature skin, a teenager-friendly cleanser is likely to be your first choice. This kind of random, wild approach will turn off customers and make them question your authority. You will reap the benefits of putting your time into developing a useful algorithm and leveraging large data. Let's take eBay as an example. I was unable to win the dress I bid on, and eBay immediately acknowledged my loss and offered me alternatives. It has been able to determine my size, colour (mostly), and even the beading detail. This was a very impressive product for me as a customer. ASOS extends this idea further. While the online retailer knows that its customers want to look great, it also knows that we don't have the time to go through thousands of products. What do they do? They can style outfits and let shoppers buy the entire outfit at once.

  2. 2) Quizzes BuzzFeed's research has shown that people love personal quizzes. They can drive tons of social traffic which can help you to attract and engage your audience in order to convert them into buyers. The quiz can help shoppers find products that match their body type, interests, and preferences. OTTO, a forward-thinking German fashion retailer, is a great example. They offer a Style Quiz and a Fit Quiz to make shopping memorable. They ask thoughtful, brand-specific questions like "Time to praise yourself!" What are you most proud of about your body? OTTO provides a list with fashion tips and a selection of products that will best suit the customer's requirements after the quiz. What is the result? The result? Happy shoppers who don’t have to scroll through endless options to find the perfect look. 3) Digital Advisors and Product Finders Barry Schwartz explained in The Paradox of Choice that more choices lead to fewer decisions. Your job is to simplify the decision-making process and guide your customers into the next value-added action. Asking simple, need-oriented questions when you have a large selection of products can help you determine the best product for your customer. Digital Advice is here to help. Digital Advice is not about pushing customers to complete the purchase process as fast as possible. It's all about understanding customers' needs and giving them a range of options. You can guide and advise shoppers through digital advisors to keep your momentum going. You will engage more if the user is actively answering your questions. Evans Cycles uses a digital advisor to help them choose the right bike. The digital advisor for bikes draws people in and asks them a few questions. It then displays infotexts to help the user determine when and why specific selections make sense in their particular case. I found this very helpful. The bike finder allows me to direct influence the recommendation by simply stating what I need. It helps shoppers make better buying decisions by allowing them to see through product confusion. Consumers are more likely to share their personal information if the content is interesting and the questions are simple-to-answer. Businesses can use this information to increase or expand their customer's CRM profiles by using self-declared data to create more personalized messages, offers, and campaigns. 4) Online Reviews Many shoppers find it difficult to make a purchase online. Businesses can provide reviews to help shoppers feel more secure and confident about purchasing. They can also read the opinions of other customers who have used the product. Many websites allow you to rank products based on reviews and ignore items below a specific star rating. Although this may sound great in theory, customers will need to read a lot to determine if it's right for them. This

  3. may be a good option for those who have the time or are looking for a large purchase. However, it is too laborious for most people. The issue of authenticity is another. Amazon is an example. Best Reviews analyzed 360,000 customer ratings for 488 products. They found that more than 65% of them were five-star reviews. This doesn't seem likely. Review spamming and fraudulent reviews have become more common. As 78% of people read reviews before purchasing something, it is worth considering incorporating reviews to help with decision-making. Higher reviews are more likely to sell than similar products that don't have them. However, while 87% of consumers consider reviews to be very important in making purchasing decisions, only 13% believe that reviews are reliable. Online reviews are not trusted by consumers blindly. Instead, they use their judgment to decide if a review is true. It's easier for consumers to trust and authenticate reviews on your website. This will increase the likelihood that they will be able use reviews to help them choose. This includes 5) Live Chat Customers don't want to feel like they're talking to a machine. A live chat that is authentic and helpful will help customers find the right product/service. It will also inspire confidence in your brand. This was how I put it into practice. So, I set out to find a camera. I asked for suggestions on simple point-and- shoot cameras that could record video. I selected the three first online camera shops that offered live chat. This is what happened: Store 1: Although the store advertised a live chat service between 9.30am and 6pm, it was not available when I attempted to access it at 10.30am. Instead, I was asked to email them. It is not ideal as a customer who wants instant help via live chat was looking for it. Store 2: I clicked to connect to live chat, but was not greeted. Uncertain if anyone was there, I sent my message. A chat advisor replied to me within four minutes with a helpful product suggestion. This was a significant improvement over the previous experience, and the product suggestion was excellent. The lack of greetings and delays left me wondering if anyone was available and feeling like I was wasting time. Store 3: I tried to access live chat, but was told there were no agents available. I was instructed to leave a message so they could email me back. It was amazing that a advisor arrived a few minutes later. He asked me my requirements and my price range. This was an important step that wasn't included in the previous interaction. I mentioned PS100 to him and he replied that it would be "pushing it", but he'd still look. He returned with six options. I realized later that they were all out-of-stock. It's easy to see the potential for improvement by simply doing this simple exercise. It is a good idea to greet customers as you would in shops. Otherwise, they may feel like they are talking into an abyss. Even if all agents are currently engaged, a quick message stating that someone will be with them shortly would be a good way to reassure the customer that their needs will be met. It is important to keep a positive, helpful attitude. The agent said that PS100 wouldn't be sufficient. I was confused, as I had seen many options below that amount. He himself also found 6 products that he liked. Excellent customer service via live chat can instill confidence in customers. Who knows, you might even be a viral hit such as this hilarious exchange from the Netflix customer support team!

  4. 6) Social Media This is a public approach that comes with additional pressure. It is important that brands behave well at all times. Social media can be a great way to resolve issues such as lost orders and faulty goods. Customers are less likely to use it to inquire about products. Social media is essential for customer service, but less so for shoppers making online purchases. This excellent exchange between Sainsbury's customer and dissatisfied customer Visit this website is a great example of this. 7) Decision Apps There's an app, just like everything these days! Swell Yeah! Customers can get opinions from others about potential product purchases through Maybe* and Swell Yeah! This app makes shopping fun and social. It also reduces choice overload for customers. Businesses could use these apps to offer relevant discounts or show stock at nearby locations. Make wise decisions It can be difficult to decide what product ideas you want for your online store. You are often at a crossroads. Every road can lead to unexpected results. You can make it short or long, take a detour, go one way, or be quite memorable. This holds true when it comes to choosing the right products for selling online. Before making a final decision, any online retailer should go through several phases. This article has shown that assessing both the external and internal environments can help you find product ideas. You can then narrow down the opportunities and create concrete plans by strategizing where to find them. Your online store's journey does not end when you have chosen the best products to sell. This is just one step in many more. Conclusion There are many ways to help your customers make the right buying decision. Some solutions are more effective than others such as quizzes or social media. As always, your approach must be customized to your brand and customers. Keep your eyes on the end goal. Help customers make quick and good purchasing decisions.
