There are thousand of e-commerce stores out there but setting your business from the competition can be hard. Getting traffic to your online store is an achievement in itself. Surprisingly, many online fashion businesses make the same e-commerce mistake when launching their store. They are unable to convert their inbound traffic into potential buyers and grow their audience.
So let’s take a step back: Why do people shop online?
They shop online because it’s convenient and enables them to find unique products for their specific needs.
However, when shopping online, many users are vigilant as to whom they decide to do business with. Before making a transaction; most users want to ensure the brand they are about to engage with is reputable and professional. Therefore, online fashion businesses must help establish this trust.
Don’t assume that people will buy from you just because they like your products. That’s a terrible e-commerce mistake to make.

And No, contact forms do not count – another e-commerce mistake. We all know what happens when we fill out a contact form; our request goes into the abyss.
It’s vital for online fashion businesses to include a phone number, an email address and even a Live Chat component. I am often surprised by how many online stores do not have a clear / prominent contact information. It’s basic and crucial.
