It has been deemed to be extremely useful in marketing e-commerce businesses as images and videos may make a product more attractive to people. However, there is no way to track the progress of your website from your Instagram page site. The only way to put your e-commerce link on Instagram is through your profile and the link in the profile cannot be tracked by Google Analytics.

In this article, we will finally give you the answer to the age old question, What color should my “Add to Cart” button be? We will show why certain colors are preferable and offer advice on which to use for your e-commerce business.

Colors play a significant role in the e-commerce business, especially with the set-up of the website and the templates used for the site. There are colors which can have a psychological effect on customers and make them feel more comfortable in the site, other colors send the wrong signals and may not match the tone of the products you are selling. These colors must be selected properly to avoid sending the wrong message to intending buyers.

What color should your ‘Add to Cart button be?

Should it be red, green, purple, or yellow? The simple answer to this pressing question is that it depends on so many different factors. A lot of people as what color should be used on their Add to Cart button, but the question should be asked about the site. For instance, the cart should be in a color that contrasts the main color of the page to give it a better highlight. Consider a website with a green background, a red color cart would contrast the green color. Use the color wheel to be sure which color will contrast correctly. Every color which is in a horizontal line and is facing another color will most likely contrast properly. An orange background will contrast with a blue background, and a yellow background will contrast with a purple background. This will ensure that the “add to cart button” stands out and is easily seen by the intending customers.

Exception

There is always an exception to this color rule, consider a site with a predominantly white background and a pink “add (more…)

Facebook Lead Ads are one of the most powerful new marketing tools to become available recently, and they are currently usable on mobile devices, so everyone with a smartphone is a potential recipient of this kind of marketing message. Facebook Lead Ads are completely housed within the framework of the Facebook platform itself, which means a user would never have to navigate away from Facebook, and potentially be lost.

The Facebook Lead Ad process

As a smartphone user scrolls through the daily feed, your ad pops up on the phone, asking the user to opt-in to, for instance, a free DIY guide. By clicking on a ‘Download’ button in your ad, an email is sent to the user’s normal email account (because Facebook already knows the user’s email account).

Then the user has only to click ‘Yes’ to agree to send his/her email address to the person who is providing them with a free DIY guide (yourself). Without ever having to navigate anywhere else, your marketing message has reached the user – and your conversion rate gets a significant boost.

One of the real advantages of this approach is that it can be conducted in a very highly focused manner, with only your ideal candidate targets being polled. The precise demographic you are trying to reach are the only Facebook users who will receive your message, and this precision is attributable to the fact that Facebook already knows that information about each user.

How to implement a Facebook Lead Ad

Creating your own Facebook Lead Ad is not difficult, and with just a few attempts, you’ll become proficient at it. Then you can begin your own ad campaigns and take advantage of the tremendous savings that this approach offers, compared to previous traditional methods.

• To begin, you will need to access the Facebook Power Editor and start the (more…)

The video is for newbies interested in setting up and running their own online stores. It focuses on how to start an online store, the importance of shopping carts and how to go about it. It gives the three most reliable shopping cart platforms for your online store and also recommended one of them

Importance of shopping carts

Picking a ready-to-go shopping cart platform saves you the rigors and technical knowhow of how to build a website and also integrate it to your custom built shopping cart platform. And if you intend to outsource it, you have to part with a lot of money. But picking an already built shopping cart platform saves you all that since no website is required

Three recommended shopping cart platforms

There are three highly reliable platforms that you can select – Shopify, Volusion and Bigcommerce. Even though the speaker in the video uses Volusion for his own online store, he suggests the option of Shopify for newbies. This is because Shopify is said to be the easiest to understand and manage among the three shopping cart platforms.

While he agrees that all the three of them have their own peculiar advantages, he believes that shopify should be chosen before the other two because it offers a lot of plug-ins and also supports so many applications.

To avoid a miscommunication, he pointed out that the other two platforms are also very good and reliable. You are still in safe hands if you choose any of them. He just opined that Shopify is the best for newbies due to the reasons mentioned above.

Of course you may have come across several reviews about the three of them, some may be encouraging and some may be unpleasant. The truth is… no review can give you a better idea than trying them out for yourself. (more…)

Have you ever considered running an online store or an e-commerce business?

When choosing a domain name, put the following factors into account;

1. Easy to spell– when a domain name is easy to spell, prospective clients can easily type it in and find what they are searching for as they can easily spell it. However, if it’s hard to spell, they may get frustrated and find another store to give them what they want. So try to select a domain name which is straightforward and easy to sell.

2. Make it short– a shorter domain name has a greater possibility of ranking high on Google as people may rarely search it. No prospective client wants to go through the pain of typing in a long domain name, and they will rather go for a shorter one which is easier to remember and also easier to spell. Also, ranking on Google is paramount for business as it shows how much a client can trust the website.

3. Insert a keyword– using a keyword that is similar or the same as the product you are selling or intending to sell will increase the rank (more…)
