There’s no common formula for success. Online businesses need to take the trial and error method for all marketing strategies they can come up with. However, if you are on a budget, things would be a bit more difficult as the resources are limited to be wasted on expensive plans.
Why not take a safer path? Do you know that you can do that at a very low cost, or even for free, but can still achieve a satisfying result? Keep your customers informed and educated about what they can expect and are expected to do while purchasing on your website with our newly released free plugins.
The focus of our post will be about two following plugins:
Giving away Coupons and/or Gift(s) for Each Order
Offering discounts and giving away gifts have been among the most popular strategies to make your customers happy to spend money on your store. How about combining two into one? Yes, you can offer the discount and give one or more items as gifts for each order. These can be offered with just a single coupon called Gift Coupon.
With the WPC Free Gift Coupons for WooCommerce plugin, users can configure a type of discount (amount, percentage or cart total discount) and/or gift(s) right on the cart page before the checkout. It is a great incentive to make customers checkout faster when they find out that their order is not just discounted but also granted some gifts.
Gift Coupons help to boost the conversion rate and retention rate in a way that:
- Encourages new customers to place an order to receive a welcome gift
- Satisfy existing customers to receive discount and a gift for their loyalty
The configurations of gift coupons are simple as normal WooCommerce coupons, so no need to skim through any documentation for using this. It’s even better if using in combination with other WPC plugins:
- WPC Coupon Listing: another free plugin that lists all existing coupons on the site, including gift coupons, of course.
- WPC Fly Cart: coupons and gifts can be chosen right on the Fly Cart popup alongside the coupon listing.
If you’re looking for an effective way to up-sell products from the same line or encourage order value upgrade, this is the right plugin for your store. Unlike other product bundling plugins, store owners can give away gifts alongside discounts using gift coupons rather than creating new products, so that would save time and effort for managing inventory and other pricing/discount issues on cart and checkout as well.
Customers’ Satisfaction, Loyalty, and Compliance
In order to educate customers of how an online business takes orders and handles the deliveries, the cost cannot be low. But we can take one step at a time to make it work with the free WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce plugin.
General notices, marketing messages, or transactional information are what you will need to maintain a high rate of customer satisfaction and compliance. Users can create all kinds of messages to display on site. It’s possible to tweak the display with built-in shortcodes.
Keep the customers informed about your active hours, holiday business hour change, delayed delivery time, and other kinds of general information won’t make your customers frustrated of sudden changes or long waiting. Based on the reading pattern on websites, users can place the messages on the most outstanding spot so that anyone could pay attention in just a few seconds.
Notifying of up-coming sales campaigns or limited-time offers would emphasize the scarcity and urgency of the event, thus, visitors might want to act fast to not miss the deal. That’s how they are converted into customers.
Combining these two plugins, customers will never have to feel lost when they miss a better coupon, or are ignorant of the fact that they could have a gift for their order. Don’t forget to check out other WPC plugins that could be added to the table for a greater effect in selling online. These plugins have your back when you cannot be online all the time.
