As the festive season is here, e-commerce companies are gearing up for one of the most critical periods of the year. With the promise of increased sales and higher customer engagement, there’s a shared challenge that’s top of mind for many: customers leaving their virtual shopping carts or settling for lower value purchases due to high prices and a lack of awareness regarding affordable options and exclusive deals. Out of every 5 customers 4 look out for offers and discounts while purchasing.
In this blog, we’ll explore the dynamics of this challenge and introduce a game-changing solution to overcome it, focusing on how to #SaleOnScaleOn with PayU’s Affordability Suite and its transformative impact on e-commerce businesses especially during the festive season.
The Price Predicament and Lost Opportunities
Picture this: A potential customer lands on your e-commerce website, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. They eagerly browse through your product offerings, enticed by the wide array and the festive promotions you’ve prominently showcased. However, as they inch closer to the checkout, the final tally on the screen sends shockwaves through their shopping journey. The premium prices they encounter cause them to hit the pause button and reevaluate their choices.
The consequence is an altered cart, with lower-value items or, in the worst-case scenario, an abandoned purchase altogether.
In today’s cutthroat world of online commerce, the loss of potential customers due to cost-related concerns is not to be taken lightly. It significantly impacts your conversion rates and, in turn, the bottom line. What’s more, the obscured visibility of ongoing offers only adds to the predicament. The lack of clarity leaves prospective buyers unaware of the enticing deals you’ve meticulously curated to make their shopping experience not just affordable but extraordinary.
