What is a Conversion?
A conversion refers to when a website or social media visitor (e.g. from Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, or LINE) completes a specific action that a business intends—like reaching out via chat, making a purchase, or subscribing to a newsletter.
Such interactions signal that the visitor is interested and has the potential to become a customer.
Common types of conversions include:
- Inquiries through chat, contact forms, or live chat
- Following your store on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or adding via LINE
- Purchasing a product and completing payment
- Filling out a registration form or survey
- Downloading resources like an eBook or mobile app
- Clicking key links (e.g. to a product or promo page)
- Subscribing to your newsletter or promotional emails
What is Conversion Rate?
Conversion Rate measures the percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action, such as placing an order or signing up.
Formula:
(Number of conversions / Total visitors) × 100
For example:
If your site has 1,000 visitors and 50 place an order,
your conversion rate is (50 ÷ 1,000) × 100 = 5%
This metric is a key indicator of how well your online store turns interest into revenue.
Why is Conversion Rate Important for Online Businesses?
Your conversion rate reflects the effectiveness of your marketing strategies—whether it's ad campaigns, content marketing, or social media efforts. A strong conversion rate means you're turning traffic into actual customers, which directly impacts revenue.
Moreover, analyzing conversion rate data can help you refine your strategy and improve your Return on Investment (ROI).
8 Proven Techniques to Increase Your Online Store’s Conversion Rate
Here are 8 practical tips to help boost conversions and drive more sales:
1. Optimize Website Usability
Make sure your website loads quickly, has clear navigation, and prominently displays Call-to-Action (CTA) buttons like “Subscribe,” “Buy Now,” or “Join Now” in visible spots.
2. Use Compelling CTAs
Effective CTAs guide users to take action. Use urgency-driven phrases like:
- “Buy today and get 10% off!”
- “Sign up now—limited slots available!”
Apply these CTAs not just on your site, but also in chat and social media posts.
3. Build Trust with Reviews and Testimonials
Customer reviews boost credibility. Showcase testimonials on product pages, websites, and social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, TikTok). Even showing the number of purchases can increase trust and conversions.
4. Offer Strategic Promotions and Discounts
Discounts like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free,” “Free Shipping over ฿1,000,” or “20% off for new customers” can trigger quick purchase decisions. Be strategic to avoid hurting margins.
5. Personalize Your Content
Use customer behavior data (like past purchases) to personalize recommendations. This makes customers feel understood and increases the likelihood of a sale.
6. Simplify the Checkout Process
A complicated checkout can lead to abandoned carts. Minimize steps and offer multiple payment options like credit/debit cards, bank transfer, PromptPay, or cash on delivery.
7. Respond to Chats Promptly
Reply to customer inquiries within 1–2 minutes to maintain interest and boost trust. Using an omnichannel chat system like Zaapi helps you manage and respond to chats from all platforms in one place.
