How many times have you heard someone say, "I opened an online store, but no one is buying!"?
On the other hand, you see another store, thank God, with sales booming, people sharing links, and ordering from it constantly!
The question here is: What's the difference?
Is it luck? Advertising? Design?
The reality is that there are fundamental factors that differentiate a "selling" store from a "stagnant" platform, even if they have the same products.
In this blog, we'll explain these differences in detail, in a simple way, and help you determine whether your store is moving in the right direction or needs tweaking.
1. User Experience First
A selling store always focuses on customer convenience.
From the moment they open the page, everything is clear:
– The sections are organized
– The products are categorized
– Searching is easy
– Navigation is simple
While a stagnant platform?
The customer is confused, the page is clunky, they don't know where to go, and they get lost from the first moment.
Tip: Try using your store as if you were a first-time customer. Will you be able to buy easily? If not, change the experience.
2. Product Images and Quality
A successful store doesn't post random images.
They ensure the images are high-quality, clear, and from different angles. Some even post a simple video.
The second platform? You'll find a single, blurry, or unrelated image, which doesn't encourage customers to trust or order.
Tip: Invest your time in professional product photography; customers will buy with their eyes first.
3. Product Description Plays a Major Role
In a professional store, the description should be clear and concise, but include everything the customer needs:
– Size
– Color
– Use
– Shipping Method
While the second platform simply lists the product name and the greeting card, without explaining anything, which prompts the customer to look for another store that provides more detailed information.
Tip: Don't assume the customer knows everything about your product; detail it in an easy and attractive way.
4. Payment and Delivery Methods
Saudi customers love options and want everything clear.
A successful store offers multiple payment methods and explains the delivery and return policy.
What about the platform that doesn't move?
There's only one method and incomplete information, which makes customers feel unsafe and leave.
Tip: Create a clear page explaining payment methods, delivery times, and exchange policy.
5. Website Speed ​​and Mobile Responsiveness
Most customers access their store from a mobile device, and if your site is clunky or its design lags on a small screen, you'll lose them.
A store that sells is always fast, responsive, and all buttons work as they should.
The second platform? It keeps freezing, or elements pop up on top of each other, or they don't open at all.
Tip: Test your store on different devices, especially mobile, and make sure the experience is excellent.
6. Trust and Credibility
At first glance, a successful store gives the impression of trustworthiness:
– Clean design
– Real reviews
– Clear testimonials or certifications
– An "About Us" page with the store's story
While the second platform has a haphazard appearance, devoid of details, and visitors feel untrustworthy. Tip: Have a visual identity and make it clear to people who's behind you. This builds strong trust.
7. Interaction and Follow-up
A store that sells is always alive, meaning constant interaction with customers, responses to questions, and regular updates.
On the other hand, the second platform feels deserted. No one responds, and there's no interaction. It's like you're talking to a wall.
Tip: Have your support team ready, even if it's just one person, and respond quickly to customer inquiries.
A store's success doesn't happen by chance, nor does it depend solely on the product.
There's a clear difference between an online store that operates professionally and pays attention to the smallest details, and a platform launched without any research or follow-up.
If you're planning to start your own business or develop your existing store, don't underestimate the details we've mentioned.
And if you'd like to take a break from all these tasks, a team can build you a professional store from scratch, tailored to the Saudi market, and set you up for success from day one.
