Creating a Store That Converts and Builds Loyalty
A Lesson from Kunal
During Diwali, Kunal's eco-friendly candles sold out, making it the ideal product. However, the traffic also ended with the season. Conversion remained constant despite his constant price and ad changes. It came to him then that the product wasn't the issue. The brand was at fault.
His shop had a general vibe. There was inconsistency in the messaging. Visitors had no reason to trust, remember, or come back. He therefore completely redrew the brand's voice, shades, copy, and overall experience. Additionally, conversions increased by 35% in the first month after the launch of the new website.
Takeaway: A consistent and compelling brand is the key to building trust and increasing conversions.
