Why Would You Choose Ultimate MegaMenu For Your Magento Store?

Top menu is one of the most essential parts of a website. It is expected to include all necessary information and navigate the users to major pages of the website, moreover, it can flexibly display all categories or whatever content on a mouse-over without going through cumbersome steps. With these principles in mind, the Top menu must be optimized to allow both users and administrator who don’t need to be developers themselves to manage effortlessly.

10 Reasons For Cart Abandonment

How often do you leave your full shopping cart in a supermarket? Never?  Once or twice in your life?  So why so many online customers (cart abandonment rate averages over 65% according to Baymard Institute) actively fill up their shopping carts and never complete the transaction?

one-step-checkout-magemetro-interfaceMagento with Windows 8 UI Style -User friendly checkout interface - All steps on a single page

Here are the top 10 reasons we consider to be the most important:

1      Window shopping

Your customers are window shopping. If your visitors’ intention is to kill some time, it’s not that easy to persuade them to make a purchase. However, if your store stands out from your competition, there’s a chance that the today’s accidental bored visitor might become a real customer tomorrow.

2      Planning future purchases

Your customers save products in their shopping carts in order to be able to buy them later. Maybe they are short of time or money to buy the product now. But they are more likely to be back to their carts later. Your kind abandoned cart alert and a button “Save for later” in a cart most probably will convert these abandoned carts into sales.

3      Looking for the best deal

Sometimes customers go through the whole process to the checkout page to see the real price of their purchase with taxes and shipping costs. Sure, they have already done the same at your competitors’ stores and will continue until they find the best price and conditions. In this case, a prompt abandoned cart reminder that includes a special offer might increase your chances for conversion.

4      Hidden costs

The price at the checkout is much higher than on the product page. Having low prices and then just slipping added fees in at the last moment is bad practice.  Do not misuse hidden costs and charges. By stating all additional costs as early as possible in the ordering process you will most probably create the image of a reliable and honest retailer.

5      Unfriendly store

There are several ways to test your customers’ patience. Your checkout process may be too long, or shopping cart pages load slowly, or your store requires registration and filling fields that are unnecessary and unrelated to checkout process. By simplifying the purchase experience you can lead your customer to a completed transaction.  If your checkout process is multi-page, do not forget to place links to each section. It's also a good practice to give clients a progress indicator so they know where they are. Respect returning customers. Auto-fill forms based on cookie tags will definitely save their time, making the checkout process more pleasant, thus making the conversion more likely.

6      Technical issues

There might be an unexpected breakdown of the Internet connection, system errors or bad links. The customer is too upset or even devastated to go through the whole process again. Provide your customer with the opportunity to recover the cart with just one click.

7      Suspiciousness

Are you ready to share your credit card details with a stranger? Why should your customers be?  Ensure them you have a secure connection (Secure Sockets Layer, indicated by a https:// address and associated lock icons in browsers) and point out clearly that you have taken some security measures.

8      Distracting noise

Flashing and buzzing banners, ads and other information on the Checkout page may distract attention of your customers from the key process you want them to perform unless these elements are directly related to the purchase (for ex. error message pop up or a cross-sell offer)

9      Lack of transparency

The customers may be half way through the checkout process and still have no idea who they buy from. Assure them you are a reliable partner: place your guarantee and return policies prominently, display contact information at the top of the page – every page, place a link to a company profile page easily accessible from the cart. Be open and helpful. Give customers all options of communications and assistance: phone, fax, email, livechat , Skype, etc. Do not hide!

10   Limited payment options.

The worst case scenario is when your customer is willing to buy, but you can’t accept the payment. Give your customers as many payment options as you can. Accept all major credit cards, online checks and integrate major payment providers so they can find the one that suits them.
Even though it’s unlikely to raise conversion rate to 100%, all retailers aspire to keep it as high as possible. Taking measures to minimize the number of carts that get abandoned is a step that takes you closer to that goal. Recovering the carts that do get abandoned is the next step.

Why Use Layered Navigation?

73% of internet users leave an online store within two minutes if they don’t find what they’re looking for, 96% say that they search feature is important to their buying process, and 40% use the site’s internal search engine.

Today, internet users are impatient and zap through sites quickly. They like to have everything at their disposal right away. To respond to their needs and to improve searching, a new system has been set up: layered navigation. It is currently defined as one of the most major advances of search tools.
1. What is faceted navigation ?

Layered navigation allows you to search by product characteristics. These are chosen by online retailers and depend on their type of business. To illustrate what this search system represents, let’s take a look at the example below (from the Volkswagen site): as we see, it is possible to search for a car by checking the boxes for category, price, or even CO2 emissions. Thus the user will have a selection of vehicles that match his expectations.

The choice of search criteria has an important role: they must be pertinent to the store’s type of business, otherwise the user will be confused. You should additionally know that layered navigation principally concerns businesses offering a vast selection of products.
Layered Navigation for magento store
2. Why adopt this new system?

To simplify user navigation

Classic navigation incites the user to look for a specific product with the help of a research system with classic categories; he or she chooses a product category (for example, a type of car), then the model, then the price, and then the color. On the contrary, with layered navigation, the user can begin by selecting the criteria important to him and then instantly have a selection of products that fit his expectations. This type of navigation is more intuitive and pleasant because the client can navigate within the catalog according to the characteristics that interest him the most. They can also quickly modify the characteristics of their search and adapt them to new criteria.

To increase sales and customer satisfaction

Layered navigation is more user-friendly, faster, and simpler, allowing clients to quickly find the product that corresponds perfectly to his or her needs. They thus won’t lose any time searching and will be quickly satisfied. As a result, they’ll be more likely to make a purchase, and your online sales will grow.
Now you’ve understood just how beneficial this new search system can be for you and for your clients. Searching is simplified, the client is happy, and the purchase is made.
Currently, more and more companies use this new model of searching, such as Volkswagen, Superdry, and even Sephora! Follow their lead—download use this module natively include with Mage-Shop!
