In recent years, the number of sellers who have set up independent websites has increased. However, the most common problem encountered by many novices is that after spending money on advertising, the website traffic is high, but the sales volume has not kept up, and the conversion rate is worrying! This article deeply analyzes the reasons and provides a comprehensive optimization plan from website design to remarketing to help sellers break through sales bottlenecks and achieve low-cost growth of overseas orders.

1. Analysis of the current status of independent station traffic and conversion rate

In the field of cross-border e-commerce, independent websites, as sales platforms built by sellers themselves, are becoming increasingly important. However, after investing a lot of advertising money, many novice sellers found that although the website traffic has increased, the sales volume has not increased accordingly, and the conversion rate is even sluggish. What are the underlying reasons behind this phenomenon?

First of all, we need to make it clear that traffic is not a panacea. Only high-quality traffic can bring continuous and stable sales conversions to the website. Therefore, when sellers face the dilemma of high traffic and low conversion, the first task is to deeply analyze the quality of traffic. Bounce rate and average dwell time are two key indicators to measure traffic quality. A high bounce rate means that users leave the website quickly after visiting it, which is usually related to the website content or products not meeting user expectations; while a short average dwell time indicates that users have low interest and engagement in the website content.

When faced with a situation where there is plenty of traffic but poor sales, the first thing we need to examine is the quality of the traffic. Traffic is not a simple numbers game. Only high-quality traffic can bring substantial sales conversions to the website. Here, a key indicator cannot be ignored - bounce rate. Bounce rate, that is, the proportion of users who leave the website without taking any further action after visiting it, is an important criterion for measuring traffic quality. The average bounce rate of a general e-commerce website is about 45.68%. However, a healthy bounce rate should be controlled between 20% and 45%. If your website's bounce rate is much higher than this range, it may mean that there is a problem with your traffic quality. At this time, it is particularly important to use analytical tools such as Google Analytics to evaluate the bounce rate of the website.

2. Website homepage design optimization: improve the user's first impression

In view of the above problems, the optimization of the website homepage is particularly critical. As the first touchpoint for users to visit the website, the design style and layout of the homepage directly affect the user's browsing experience and purchase decision. Therefore, when sellers choose templates and designs, they must ensure that they are highly consistent with the product style, while keeping the classification clear and the information complete. In addition, the additional information and terms at the bottom of the page (such as refund policy, contact information, etc.) are also important factors in improving user trust and platform review approval rate.

3. Multi-dimensional display of product pages: enhancing user purchasing confidence

The product page is a key link for users to understand product details and make purchasing decisions. In order to enhance users' purchasing confidence, sellers should display product information from multiple dimensions, including basic information such as color, style, and size, and use videos to show product performance and application scenarios. At the same time, positive user reviews are also an effective means to enhance user trust. Sellers can manually add positive reviews in the background, or import product reviews from other platforms through plug-ins to improve the authenticity and credibility of the reviews.

4. Shopping process optimization: simplifying steps to improve user experience

The cumbersome and complicated shopping process is one of the important reasons why users give up buying. Therefore, sellers should optimize the shopping process from the user's perspective. For example, they can provide promotional strategies such as discounts for purchases above a certain amount and free shipping for purchases above a certain amount to stimulate users' desire to buy; at the same time, they can simplify the payment process, such as adding PayPal quick payment and Buy Now buttons, and optimizing the steps of filling in the delivery address, so as to improve users' shopping experience and conversion rate.

5. Remarketing strategy: Activate potential customers to increase sales

In addition to the above optimization measures, remarketing is also an important means to increase sales. Data shows that only a small number of users complete conversions on their first visit, so remarketing to existing customers and past visitors is particularly important. Through low-cost channels such as push notifications and emails, sellers can interact with users who have visited the website, guide them to visit again and promote purchases. This targeted marketing strategy not only improves the overall quality of traffic, but also helps reduce marketing costs and increase sales.

In summary, if independent website sellers want to break through sales bottlenecks and increase sales, they must start with traffic quality analysis and conduct all-round optimization. By carefully creating a website homepage, displaying product information in multiple dimensions, simplifying the shopping process, and implementing effective remarketing strategies, sellers can gradually improve user experience and conversion rates, and ultimately achieve low-cost growth in overseas orders.
