And how to make a successful dropshipping store?

To relate with the points that we mentioned here to implement in your e-commerce store , then first go through the other two blogs also.

In this blog we're going to describe some mistakes People generally make while making E-commerce store?

Mistakes people generally made during the building up of their e-commerce store.

1) lack of security certifications (Use HTTPS instead of Http)

2) No clear value proposition.

These are the some minor problems that you can easily solve without taking help from any other person. The Percentage of these errors in your e-commerce store is very low.

But the impact of these on brand building is high. So focus on building intrinsic value for your brand and don't focus on numbers on the initial days of the building your store.

Problems That Could Really Build A bigger problem for your Store 

Now look at some major issues that cannot be ignored if you're going to play the game for long.

1) Return Policy -: 

Build a hassle free return policy for your customers. So, that customers didn't hesitate to buy. A good return policy creates a +ve impact on the customer.

2) Poor Customer Service Option -: 

If you cannot afford 24*7 call support for your customers in the initial days. Then make sure you are using a dedicated mail support system for your customers.

Extra Tip - You can also use Chatbots for Predefined queries.

3) Not Including Shipping Rates -:

I don't know why but I had seen multiple times many stores online did the same mistake that when you buy an item from a e-commerce store the shipping price is hidden at the product page and you'll get to know about it at the time of billing. So, from our end , avoid this kind of cost savings techniques for your e-commerce store.

4) Confusing Navigation -:

To show their websites out of the box many people creates a very complex website which is not user friendly or customer friendly . Always remember customer is the king. Make the navigation of the website simple for example -: {Product - Cart - purchase} Done. The website should be creative but the process will not.

5) Delivery Status

Due to lack of awareness or I don't know for what reason many e-commerce store owners forget to add a tracking page on their sites. You should definitely add it as it gives customer a delightful Experience and he thinks of purchasing the product from a global brand.

Extra Tip -: If you use partner like shiprocket ,then they will provide you free of cost this plugin to add it on your website.
