Biggest Challenges of eCommerce

Lets take a look at the biggest challenges eCommerce marketers face each day, so that we can better understand and solve such problems. Here are the 3 biggest challenges.

  • Margin squeeze by Competitors and Customers
  • Creation of traffic through SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
  • CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization)

Many eCommerce marketers feel that they need to do more to increase their profits. However, the truth of the matter is; all you really need to look at are the above areas. Take note that you cannot do without them and they are quite important, especially when it comes to consistently growing your business.

Margin Squeeze and SEO

Margin squeeze occurs, essentially, when other, more successful businesses, prevent competitors from raising their prices to compete in the market . On the other hand, SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a marketing technique to increase visibility through improving your website’s standing on search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing). Both of these are relatively known by most online marketers and are used when launching a marketing campaign.

What Is CRO?

CRO is short for Conversion Rate Optimization. While, margin squeeze and SEO are not new words or terms to a seasoned eCommerce marketer, (these words are commonly used online) CRO is a fairly new word and only few eCommerce marketers know this word and what it means. This is a new technique that only a few eCommerce marketers use to increase profit. It means making the most of your marketing to convert casual users into paying customers.  As mentioned in this article by Qualaroo:

What we mean when we talk about conversion rate optimization is; when a visitor to your website takes an action that you want them to take

When upgrading your website, you have to learn the biggest challengers that marketers face in the business. If you can manage to master these challenges, then the rest of your marketing campaign will eventually settle itself.
