Your customers decide your success so it’s really important that you are connecting with your audience and giving them what they are looking for. We have got your back with these simple and effective ways to nail your launch and have customers excited and buying out of the gate.

1. Don’t overwhelm the customer

Statistics prove that the more products you have on your website the more likely your customer is to get overwhelmed and overwhelmed customers don’t buy! Unless you're doing grocery shopping online, fewer products equal more clients purchasing as it means they have less to think about and its easier for them to make decisions.

To maximize fewer products, try to lay your products out in a logical manner that is stylish and visually appealing. Grouping products into categories or putting fewer products on a page and making customers click through product pages can also help to direct your customers to what they’re interested in without creating overwhelm.

So if you want to be attracting business from Millennials or the next generation, you need to make sure your marketing addresses what is important to these groups! So what is important to these groups? Social proof through user-generated content!

Social proof is a phenomenal powerhouse and seeing your products in action may the final push to checkout that your customers need. This means making sure your social media like Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, Pinterest, and whatever else your target audience is most interested in, are embedded into your store for customers to connect with an see what others are doing with your products.
