#4. Improve your newsletter sign-up incentives
#4. Improve your newsletter sign-up incentivesAs you know, people don’t always trust any newsletter sign-ups as it draws their attention away from their target. We should understand that getting e-mails is important to do follow-up marketing with your customers. People will sign up only in those cases if they see really good reasons to do that.
If you want to get more emails from your customers, you need to completely optimize your newsletter sign-up and offer a good incentive. Many people use having a pop-up or a newsletter box in the sidebar or in the footer. You can offer a first-time purchase coupon or a free guide how to do that. Before integrating incentives on a website, make sure to test your pop-ups in order to reveal the best variant.
You can add a short description to your incentive or offer to help visitors understand why they need to join your mailing list. You can see the example from GlassesUSA:

#5. Add video to your popular products
You should understand that high-quality images to your products are not enough to stand out from the crowd. If you want to get more effect and increase sales, you should try writing a short review and promotional video for your popular products. I agree that it can be time-consuming to do that, but it can get a huge impact on sales and conversion sales. For example, ASOS and ModCloth like experimenting this kind of approach:
If you aren’t sure about this, you can create short videos for your top 3-5 best products and add them to the relevant product pages. After that you can measure the result and understand whether this way works well or not for you. In the case of a good result, you can make quality videos and increase the number of products you offer for people.
#6. Include convincing risk reducers on your website
To make sure that your key features are noticed by customers, you can include good risk reducers in the website header in order to inspire people trust your brand and reduce the risk of purchase.
If you include your key features and value proposition, you can mention about your risk reducers. For example, you offer free shipping, money back guarantee or free returns. Before including a certain action, test out different combinations of risk reducers that can work best to boost sales and conversion rates. In this context, GlassesUSA does a good job with this approach:
