ANN ARBOR – Melih Oztalay, CEO of SmartFinds Marketing, returns to MITech TV to provide valuable e-Commerce tips for companies that want to improve their online sales during the Holiday season.

The Economy for the e-Commerce Holiday Season

Despite the global recession and cost of living crisis, the 2022 holiday season will see an increase. Holiday retail sales are likely to increase between 4% and 6% in 2022, according to Deloitte’s annual holiday retail forecast. E-commerce holiday sales are projected to grow 12.8% to 14.3%, compared to the 2021 season. “Deloitte: Holiday Retail Sales Expected to Increase 4% to 6%”

Although the report indicates a less-than-expected rise in holiday spending, there is still an increase and the e-commerce predictions are still considered strong.

e-Commerce Tips Includes Tapping Into Google Organic Traffic

 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is your number one to do in digital marketing

Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the number two thing do to in digital marketing.

  • You can drive all the website traffic to your website you want. If your website is not able to convert the website visitors to leads or sales, spending all your time on SEO or paid traffic is useless.

e-Commerce Tips for Your Website

  • Find the right keywords for the products you are selling. Use tools like Google Trends and Google Search Suggestions.
  • Focus on the content on your product web pages.
  • Focus on User Experience (UX). How is the website structured?  How easy can someone get from one page to the next?
  • Focus on how fast your web pages load on a laptop and mobile device. Website visitors will only spend seconds on a web page if it does not load quickly.  Use tools like GTMetrix to help you identify any page loading issues.
  • Measure, Analyze, and Interpret…. repeat the cycle. Tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console will point you in the right direction.

e-Commerce Tips for Outbound Marketing

You have to generate demand to get people to your website outside of Google’s organic search results.

  • Social Media Marketing will be the key source you will want to tap into.
  • Engage in other people’s posts…not just likes…add a comment.
  • Be sure you have enough content…. blog posts (yours and others), photos, images, videos, etc.
