\"Ways<\/a><\/p>\n

Every eCommerce brand has a goal to <\/span>increase traffic and grow revenue<\/span><\/a>. It can be incredibly frustrating when the campaigns you painstakingly develop start pushing more leads to your eCommerce store but fail to generate the expected sales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dig into your analytics and there\u2019s a good chance your bounce rate will be higher than you would care to have it. No matter how much traffic you throw at an eCommerce store with a high bounce rate, you\u2019ll fail to see the desired lift in conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something is stopping the majority of visitors from browsing, clicking, and purchasing. Before you can work toward reducing bounce rate throughout your online store, you need to know what you\u2019re dealing with.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Bounce Rate?<\/h2>\n

Kissmetrics shares a definition of bounce rate, taken directly from Google:<\/span><\/p>\n

When a visitor lands on any page within your store but leaves without visiting any other pages, that\u2019s counted as a bounce. So, your bounce rate is a percentage of how many people bounced without taking action.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hard part is determining the cause of your bounce rate. For eCommerce sites, that could be any number of factors, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Complex layout<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Not mobile-friendly<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The customer was comparing prices on a single product<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Slow load times<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Insufficient information<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Poor messaging alignment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some of the most common causes of an elevated bounce to review and test for bringing down your per-page and overall bounce rates while boosting on-page engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Unclutter your content<\/h3>\n

    Marketers often want to cover all their bases when a customer lands on the site, whether it\u2019s a product page or a home page. Unfortunately, trying to follow all the conversion \u201cbest practices\u201d while speaking to every audience segment can result in content overload.<\/span><\/p>\n

    There are key elements to focus on that should be included, like trust signals and social proof, because they contribute to your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Anything else in your store that is not directly contributing to conversions and helping you achieve your goal is a distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Too much clutter, and it makes it difficult for a customer to decide what to do first.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Best Buy does a great job of eliminating clutter above the fold on its home page to help steer attention toward its navigation and the promos in its carousel.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For product pages, focus on including elements most relevant to informing the customer and assisting with gaining the conversion. Secondary elements should be minimized or placed below the fold to reduce distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Keep them focused on the content and the call to action to reduce the odds of a bounce and conversion loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Improve your product descriptions<\/h3>\n

    Product descriptions serve several purposes. A good product description:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Entices readers to read more by engaging their interests through empathy and representation of the problem\/solution<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Presents the features in a way that lays out the benefits to customers<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Addresses common questions so customers can make an informed purchase decision without researching further<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Speaks to specific audiences<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      When you use a generic copy provided by the manufacturer and content focused on only features and specs, then you miss all of those key elements. Write better product descriptions so that customers who land on your product pages have no reason to hit the back button.<\/span><\/p>\n

      3. Provide engaging content on category pages<\/h3>\n

      Category pages don’t generally have content that’s optimized, but they should. They\u2019re one of several types of landing pages for catching both organic and paid traffic. Customers also try to visit these pages in navigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

      According to Smart Insights<\/span><\/a>, Baymard Institute conducted an 8-month usability research study on product findability focusing on navigation and category pages. The study revealed that users often click parent categories in mega menus, but that most parent categories were unlinked labels.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      If customers are expecting a link so they can look into a category and nothing happens, they may consider that a design flaw or site glitch and leave in frustration\u2014especially on a mobile device.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Provide some optimized and descriptive content on every category page, including parent categories, using the same approach as writing high-quality product descriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

      4. Design and content format matters<\/h3>\n

      Whether it\u2019s a landing page, category, blog post, or product description, the way you format your content has a tremendous impact on conversions and engagement. High-value content does no good if the visitor has trouble reading it because the layout and formatting are atrocious.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Consider the goal of the page. Design your page and format your content so it\u2019s easy on the eyes, can be skimmed through and digested quickly, and contributes to your goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Simple is better. Visually complex sites are rated lesser as compared to simpler designs, according to one study from Google. In that same study, researchers found that the beauty of a website is judged as quickly as 1.20<\/span>th<\/span> of a second.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Tommy Walker, former Editor-in-Chief for the ConversionXL blog, dug deeper into this subject to reveal that \u201csimple\u201d websites are scientifically easier to process. A more-complex eCommerce experience could contribute to higher bounce rates and reduced conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n

      5. Site speed needs to be addressed<\/h3>\n

      With the volume of consumers using mobile devices to search and browse, having a mobile-friendly site that loads fast is more important than ever. 48% of consumers start mobile research with a search engine, but 33% go directly to the site they want.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If that site loads slowly, then your bounce rate is going to skyrocket\u2014and our definition versus the customer\u2019s definition of \u201cslow\u201d are wildly different.<\/span><\/p>\n

      A 1-second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversion. If an eCommerce site is hitting a 6-figure revenue per day, then that 1-second delay in load times could cost as much as $2.5 million in lost revenue each year. As that load time creeps up, so do the page abandonment and bounce rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

      6. Address mobile issues that raise bounce rates<\/h3>\n

      Once you address site speed, you\u2019re not done with mobile users yet. There are technical areas where site functionality and usability become issues on one or more mobile devices\u2014even if they work fine for desktop on other popular mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If your site isn\u2019t mobile-friendly across the board, you risk increased bounce-rates. With<\/span> mobile-friendliness now a ranking factor with Google<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> you can also impact your store\u2019s rank and organic visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      Use <\/span>Mobile-Friendly Test<\/span><\/a> to check for potential issues with your online store. If any issues arise, Google will highlight problem areas so you can identify what could be creating issues for mobile users and elevated bounce rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Bullymax, a seller of dog food supplements, worked with ConversionXL to address a number of mobile issues that were impeding conversion. Those optimization efforts brought a hefty 24.5% lift in conversions<\/span>,<\/span> and now 75% of the company\u2019s traffic comes from mobile devices\u2014 definitely above average compared to the average eCommerce store.<\/span><\/p>\n

      7. Attract the right visitors<\/h3>\n

      With companies<\/span> earning $2, on average<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> for every $1 spent on PPC campaigns, it\u2019s no surprise that eCommerce brands continue to put a portion of their budget into paid advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n

      However, those high-ROI ads can easily slide into wasted funds if they\u2019re not carefully planned and managed.<\/span><\/p>\n

      One of the most common causes is a disconnect between what your audience is expecting and what they get on the other side of the click.<\/span><\/p>\n

      This applies to organic search as well, where the promises and expectations set within the rich meta description in the organic search results need to match the content on your site.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Unbounce calls this \u201cconversion coupling.\u201d It\u2019s a fancy way of saying your message should be consistent from point to point. Customers searching for specific things will see ads and descriptions you create, which attract their attention, so they click.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The trick to keeping your bounce rates in check and getting the audience to engage in making sure that the page they land on shows them exactly what they were expecting.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If it doesn\u2019t, then you\u2019re not attracting the right visitors. You\u2019re selling them on something you don\u2019t have.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Those are disappointed people who are going to get frustrated and immediately bounce. The chances of converting them to a customer are slim to none. You can bet they probably won\u2019t trust search results from your brand in the future, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Revisit your audience research and adjust your content so there\u2019s an ideal alignment between what\u2019s displayed in search versus what\u2019s presented in the content of your store. <\/span><\/p>\n

      8. Give them resources to engage more<\/h3>\n

      Every bounce happens for a reason. A good chunk of your customers are leaving not because of a bad experience, but because they\u2019re just not ready to make a purchase yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Even a perfectly streamlined checkout with prominent CTA wouldn\u2019t convince that particular customer not to leave. What would help is giving that customer additional information? In addition to engaging and informative elements within the page (great product description, Q&A elements, reviews, and feature\/benefit matrix) you can provide additional information to limit him or her from wandering and research gathering.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Buyer\u2019s guides and resource documents linked within the product page can keep customers in your sales funnel until they\u2019re ready to make a purchase decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s a great example from<\/span> Seattle Cider:<\/span><\/p>\n

      The brand includes detailed explanations of products, and what makes them different, with a mouse rollover. There\u2019s even an interactive display on how their cider is made from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

      9. Make it easy to find products<\/h3>\n

      One of the leading causes of bounce rates in eCommerce is frustrating navigation. No one wants to try to shop from a site with a cluttered and difficult-to-understand navigation hierarchy. Think of it like trying to shop in a grocery store for the first time and there\u2019s no signage for aisles. If you can\u2019t find what you want, there\u2019s no reason to stay. It would be easier to go somewhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      Shopify has simple tips for making sure your navigation is top-notch and provides a simple and friction-free shopping experience that reduces bounce rates:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Don\u2019t hide the navigation menu (no hamburger menu!).<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Use specific and clearly understandable labeling on the menu.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Use layered navigation and fly-out menus if you have many pages and choices on your site.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Position the navigation in conventional spots, like horizontally across the top of the page or vertically along the left side of the page.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Conclusion<\/h2>\n

        Bounce rates in eCommerce are some of the biggest indicators of success for your store. If your bounce rates are climbing or sitting higher than the industry average, then you absolutely have an issue that must be addressed. Running through the factors presented here can help determine if that\u2019s a usability issue, design problem, content and messaging, audience targeting issue or another presentation problem. <\/span><\/p>\n

        Now that you\u2019ve got insight into the more common causes of elevated bounce rates, you can start eliminating potential causes and get to work restoring and lifting conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
