Our teams’ guide to boost your sales in Q4!

The sales and holiday seasons are just around the corner, and so is a massive wave of potential customers.

Did you know that, for many digital businesses, October, November and December can bring in as much as 40% of their yearly sales?

The last quarter of the year, from Black Friday to the end of the holidays, can make or break your annual sales goals. But is your e-commerce ready for it?

We’re not just talking about running ads: we're talking about making sure your online store is a seamless, high-converting platform. At Portinos, we use our experience of large-scale marketing projects to help brands like yours optimize their e-commerce platforms.

Here’s a quick checklist to prepare your store and boost conversions for the biggest shopping season of the year.

01. Optimise your site's performance:

Imagine your website is a physical store. If the doors are slow to open or the aisles are cluttered, customers will leave. The same applies to your e-commerce site: a fast and smooth user experience is crucial. Focus on:

Page speed: every second counts. Slow loading times can lead to a high bounce rate, meaning you’re losing potential customers before they even see your products.

Mobile experience: most people shop on their phones. Make sure your site is fully responsive and easy to navigate on any device.

We specialize in UX/UI design, creating websites that provide an engaging digital experience.

02. Improve the user experience (UX):

A great user experience involves a simple and intuitive journey from browsing to checkout. Make it easy for your customers to find what they want and complete their purchase.

Clear navigation: are your product categories logical? Use clear labels and a straightforward menu.

Intuitive product pages: our experience has taught us that clear, compelling messaging on high-converting product pages that align with your brand are the key!

Optimized checkout process: simplify your checkout process, make it easy for the user! Only ask for the essential information and offer multiple payment options.

03. Don’t forget to be brand-consistent:

Consistent brands earn 20% more revenue than those that don't take consistency seriously. Consistency makes brands appear more professional, organized, and serious.

Consistent branding creates recognition and trust, leading to more clicks on search results and, therefore, more engagement. Greater engagement and more clicks are positive signals (of trust) for search engines.

04. Your e-commerce design is really important:

Customers affirm 94% of first impressions are linked to design, with 75% of consumers admitting to judging the credibility of a business based on the design of its website.

If you want users to make purchases on your website, don't forget to give them confidence to do so. 19% of people abandon their online shopping carts because they didn’t trust the site with their credit card information.
