💡 How DUER Reduces Friction in The Conversion Process
This Canadian clothing brand does an excellent job of providing a great user experience on their ecommerce site. On average they bring in a whopping $3.5 million in sales.
Learn how DUER reduces any friction in the conversion process with these apps.
1️⃣ Power Tools Filter Menu: Create advanced product filters so customers can find items quickly. Enable a sidebar on your website that allows customers to narrow down what they are looking for and reduce any friction in the conversion process.
On the DUER site, their sidebar can filter by size, color, and wash so you don’t have to spend time scrolling through hundreds of SKUs.
2️⃣ Algolia AI Search & Discovery: Another way customers can find what they want is through AI-powered search. This AI search app is able to understand shopper intent and provide relevant results.
Input a keyword and this plugin will pull up specific PDPs, collection pages, and even blog posts so visitors can find the information they need when making a purchasing decision.
3️⃣ Crazy Egg: This heat mapping tool allows you to record user activity and diagnose issues.
Get insights on how people scroll, click and if they get stuck on any part of your site which is leading to bouncebacks and lost sales.
