So basically, it’s very crucial to get to make people trust your store and at the same time it’s also crucial to get sales. A lot of studies show that if you’ve never been heard off then people would try to look for signs to decide whether your website is trust worthy or not. You have to make sure that your website has credibility impact to your target audience, so start by looking for elements that your customers would favorably interpret from and make those prominent in your website.

Show them who you are

When people start buying from your brand they will eventually get intrigued on who is behind it. When you show who you are, the person behind the brand, you add credibility to your store. Eventually that will improve your conversions, and get you more and more sales. On the about us part of your website, you can tell your audience more about yourself, how you begun, is this a family business, a solo-entrepreneur, or basically stories people would like to know about. When you have honest stories for your audience, that would build and make trust stronger. Adding a phone number or a physical address could also add credibility. Also, uploading images of yourself or of your team would make build more credibility. You can add videos, and let your visitors know why they should buy from you.

Be contactable 

Customer support is another way to boost credibility. If you can’t provide chat support then make yourself easily reachable. Make sure that you make it easy to be seen and that you set when they could expect a reply from you.

Make sure related content is visible 

Information like return policies are one of the first things people check before checking out and purchasing. And a high cause for shopping cart abandonment is hidden charges such as delivery rates. So make sure to show these information at the very beginning to result in higher sales.  Places where you can add this information to on footer pages, every page header, and on a product page. And another place to make sure information is complete is on the FAQs page.

Customer feedbacks and Reviews would also help bring you more traffic

2 out of 3 people who buy online read reviews before buying and 7 out of 10 doubts it is honest reviews. So to make sure your reviews wouldn’t be doubted, use a credible third part to display reviews. Allow and even recommend people to add pictures of what they purchased into their reviews.
