How To Increase Your Shopify Conversion Rate For Your Clothing Brand

Hey, guys, Christian, here and today, I'm going to show you a few ways you can increase your conversion on your Shopify store. Let's get started. 

Optimizing your online store isn't a one and done solution for e-commerce, it's an ongoing process that will help you constantly learn more about your audience and how you can better serve them, right? It's not about a tactic with an endpoint. It's something that you should always be doing to get better. 

Do Some Improvements

So the number one thing that you need to do is improve performance and site speed. 

When your site crashes during high volume shopping days like Black Friday or your mobile site takes more than a few seconds to load, you run the risk of losing your customers' attention and loyalty. In fact, 79% of customers have reported dissatisfaction with website performance are less likely to buy from that site again. Slow pages are the number one issue that angry mobile users complain about, ranking even higher than the site crashes. There are many ways to reduce the page load time on your e-commerce site, including compressing and reducing file size images, decreasing the amount of apps that you use, and modifying and improving the HTML, JavaScript and CSS. We actually made a video on how to increase website speed on Shopify. You can check that out right here.

Make It Flawless

The second thing you can do is make the site search work flawlessly. 

Visitors who use on site search are 1.8 times more likely to convert and can generate as much as 14 to 40 percent of your store's overall revenue. Why do site searches converge so well? Well, to begin with, it's likely that shoppers who use site search exhibit an intent to buy, right? So once this intent is put into words, shoppers are led quickly to what they need. Often, this means that they're not necessarily shopping for a button shirt. They're actually interested in products that meet more narrowed down descriptions such as a red hooded flannel or sale button down plaid blue shirt. So make sure that you have a good search solution for your story. 

Use Quality Photos

Coming in at number three is to use high quality images and copy. 

Considering that people can't touch or try on your products online, you need to work twice as hard to make your products come alive via excellent photography, graphics and description. You can't rely on stock photography or small, uninspiring product photos to convince your customers to buy something. We actually made a video on how to write better product descriptions. You can check that out here.

Try Something New

The fourth way is to create a better user experience, and one way you can create a better experience is to try new apps. 

Some apps that can help with conversion rates are Shop The Look, which enables customers to buy an entire outfit with just one click. 

There is also Swatchify, which enables you to easily create detailed colors for your products so it's easier to shop. The idea here is to find apps that will make shopping your store a breeze.
