Is your merchandising strategy driving visitors to the conversion path or turning them to your competitors?
If the online marketer is responsible for generating traffic on the site, then the online merchandiser is responsible for engaging and driving visitors to the conversion path. In order for an online retailer to meet his sales and conversion goals, both online merchandiser and marketer have to collaborate.
The 3TouchPoints team has spent many years in the Retail and E-Commerce domain, and we have seen the transition of traditional merchandisers from the offline to online world, along with their struggle to collaborate with online marketing and e-commerce teams. Below are some of the key features for which the online merchandiser is responsible. But due to the lack of actionable data and analytical skills, merchandisers are often not able to generate a memorable site experience for online shoppers and drive them to the conversion path.
- Site Search
- Managing Online Catalog and Site Taxonomy
- Setting up Product Attributes
- Product Imaging
- Running Online Promotions
- Designing effective Cross-Sell/Up-Sell strategies
- Product Ratings and Reviews
- Engagement Widgets like Recently Viewed, Finders, Quick Lookup, and Avatars etc.
- Alternate Payment & Shipping Methods
- Gift Cards & Certificates
- Brand Showcase
- Gift Registry and Wishlist
- In-store Pickups and Returns
- Shopping Cart & Checkout experience
- Targeted Email Campaigns etc.
