If you have a e-commerce business that makes sales, whether you’re doing it intentionally or not and you don’t have a sales funnel, you’re losing out on a ton of sales. A sales funnel is basically a journey that takes a visitor from becoming aware of your product to moving them through stages of your sales process and then becoming a customer.
Hopefully that customer then can become a repeat customer and a brand evangelist and just start being part of your sales funnel and generating you more sales.
So what is a very poorly fine tuned or poorly tuned sales funnel really look like? And I don’t really consider this a sales funnel but this is what a poor version looks like. I hate to break it down for you but most e-commerce sites are this example. It typically starts with the ad, then they go to your product page, they add it to a cart and then boom, that’s it.
There’s not really much more to it, and that’s what really terrible funnels typically are for e-commerce and they just don’t work that well. So what’s the problem with this? Well, there’s no guidance, no intention. Visitors will have to figure out a lot on their own.
Because what big companies, people who spend hundreds and thousands, millions, or even billions like the Amazons of the world, they have brand loyalty. You and I don’t have that, so we got to worry about a sales funnel. So let’s dive into what a great sales funnel for e-commerce looks like. I’m going to focus on the funnel that works with paid traffic.
The reason for this is that most people don’t have the luxury of ranking really highly on Google for competitive keywords in their industry. So I want to give you something that’s actionable no matter how much money you have. Especially when you’re starting out paid ads is the easiest way to generate traffic and sales.
Now the next thing I want you to do is once they check out and they buy your product you collect the money right then and there you should have upsell that either gives them the results from the product faster or in an automated way. If they say no, give them another upsell literally have two right there. It could be subscription related, it could be speed or automation.
You can try out any of those methods but then by having more upsell, you’ll find that you won’t really get tons more revenue. Even if you don’t do a great job we see it adding at least 3% in revenue, If you have speed and automation. When you fine tune it, though most people are seeing a 10 plus percent lift in revenue.
The reason I’m emphasizing this is it’s a huge mistake that people make. leave a comment below with how many products you’re selling. Is it one, two, ten? Well, the ad we’re going to have you run is for one product. Once people click on the ad, they should be sent to a page that isn’t just a regular e-commerce product page.
The first is strong social proof. This is impactful feature testimonials, star ratings, and even video testimonials. Not of people just opening up the box and getting your product, I’m talking about using it too, and a great product presentation. That means good photos of your product. 360 degree views, maybe in video showing your product. Compelling copy as well highlighting your best benefits of your product.
Now another important thing to be successful with this is a funnel that happens between the moment when a visitor adds this product to the cart and clicks a checkout. you’ll want to have what’s called an order bump which is basically an idea of offering an upsell that’s related to the product, even before the visitor gets to the checkout.
Now the next thing I want you to do is once they check out and they buy your product you collect the money right then and there you should have upsell that either gives them the results from the product faster or in an automated way. If they say no, give them another upsell literally have two right there. It could be subscription related, it could be speed or automation.
You can try out any of those methods but then by having more upsell, you’ll find that you won’t really get tons more revenue. Even if you don’t do a great job we see it adding at least 3% in revenue, If you have speed and automation. When you fine tune it, though most people are seeing a 10 plus percent lift in revenue.
