Advanced Marketplace Combo gives Access to Marketplace Mobile App and Marketplace Plugin

No wonder we all spend a lot of time on online shopping. While looking at gadget usage, we are much more reliable on mobile apps as compared to desktop websites. All the marketplaces have mobile apps for users, be it Amazon, eBay, or ETSY. The apps we use to shop from Amazon or eBay are not native mobile apps, rather they have added extensions to their websites.

This is one of the cost-effective and reliable ways to create a marketplace mobile app. Adding a mobile app builder extension could help you build your marketplace mobile app effortlessly. KnowBand’s Advanced marketplace with a mobile app builder can help you create a marketplace application for platforms like PrestaShop, Opencart, and Magento. All your website data will be in real-time synchronization with the mobile app.

Introduction to a Marketplace

A marketplace involves three entities, the marketplace owner, sellers, and customers. When creating a marketplace for your brand or as your startup business, make sure you clearly understand the reliability of each of the three entities on the other two.

Without a customer base, sellers won’t come to your marketplace and with limited products and sellers, your marketplace will struggle for organic traffic. The Chicken and Egg Problem of the marketplace is not new! We have examined the pain points of the marketplace and curated this blog that you might like.

There are several key benefits of an online marketplace for all, admin, seller, and customers.

To earn profits, every marketplace follows different business models. This creates room for more revenue through different channels. You can either earn commissions from the sellers or take membership charges or sell products from your brand. A marketplace is a place for earning money while you sleep.

What is mobile marketplaces app?

Simply defined, mobile marketplaces are programs created exclusively for simple and convenient buying on a mobile device (e.g. smartphone or tablet). They should not be confused with independent retail apps. The independent retail apps are the native apps that are specially created for mobile devices but the marketplace mobile apps like Amazon are extensions of the marketplace website.

Why do we need a Marketplace Mobile App?

  • Only in the United States of America, e-commerce accounts for roughly 10% of retail sales, with that figure expected to climb by around 15% per year.
  • In the United States alone, retail e-commerce sales totaled 156 billion dollars in 2017. Furthermore, 82 percent of internet users in the United States said they’ve used their smartphones to make purchases.
  • Retail e-commerce sales worldwide reached 4.28 trillion dollars in 2020, with e-retail revenues expected to reach 5.4 trillion dollars in 2022.
  • A study suggests Amazon app users spent an average of 12.843 billion minutes per month in the app, compared to 2.352 billion minutes per month on the Amazon mobile site.

These days, the online market is at its pinnacle. Many entrepreneurs and retailers are considering developing their own marketplace app as the need for online marketplaces grows. It may be one reason that you are reading this article.

PrestaShop Back in Stock Module- Unique Approach to Capture Lost Sales

Notify customers when products are back in stock, and your PrestaShop revenue will increase quickly. Use the PrestaShop Back in Stock module to start recapturing missing revenue. Send notifications to consumers as soon as the products return to stock. It takes just 5 minutes to set up.

PrestaShop Back-in-Stock – Unique Approach to Capture Lost Sales

Back-in-stock alerts are a perfect way for PrestaShop stores to boost sales. Don’t miss out on sales because the products are out of stock. Increase your sales with web push notifications for back-in-stock products. You can send an initial email when a customer subscribes for a back-in-stock alert, low-stock alerts, and a final notification email with the Back-in-stock message.

We’ve all discovered things that were out of stock but we don’t go back to the store to see if it’s still there. Why do you expect your customers to do it? Influence them using emails and send push notifications to bring them back to your online store. You will get more sales and observe a boost in conversion rate.

Adding an email opt-in to your subscriber list will help you grow your list

The majority of low stock and back-in-stock warning forms only obtain the customer’s email address to inform them when a product returns to stock. Take advantage of the fact that they’re paying attention by asking them to join your email list at the same time. Sellers who use this strategy see a large improvement in their email subscriber list size, which leads to increased sales.

You can observe the subscriber listing on the admin panel at the left menu where all the installed modules are listed.

V3 Google reCaptcha is integrated with PrestaShop Back in Stock module to keep away the spammers and bots.

Add Custom Field in the Back in stock Subscription Box

Collecting information from customers to send personalized emails will be easier. PrestaShop Back in stock addon provides an option to add custom fields in the subscription box. You can now add text, radio option, and other custom fields to gather more details about the customers.

Send automated emails for Low-stock and Back-in-stock

The PrestaShop Back-in-stock Module is a tool for email marketing. Customers usually receive hundreds of promotional emails and most of them are ignored but an email with a catchy subject line has more chances of getting opened. The module allows sellers to send a customized email with tailored text and subject lines. Along with an initial welcome email, you can send low-stock alerts to the subscribers and notify them about the restocked products.

Add related products to email template and cross-sell

Heard the phrase ‘killing two birds from one stone, the module works the same way. It lets you send back in stock alerts as well as has an option to send related products. A seller can add details like bestsellers, products of the same category, specific products, etc. If a seller opts for the Specific products option, then he will have to specify the products in the respective tab as shown in the image below.

Send alerts via your email provider like Mailchimp

It is critical that you build your brand, and one way to do so is to ensure that the emails you send are sent from your domain. You’ll be able to use a variety of features to boost the success of your back in stock campaigns if you use an advanced eCommerce email provider like Mailchimp, Klavio, or Sendinblue. And, the PrestaShop back-in-stock module allows you to do so.

Real-time Analytics for PrestaShop

View a full report on customers who have subscribed to web push alerts for back-in-stock products. To increase sales, identify the most successful items, maximize inventory, and run promotional campaigns.

The new version has UTM Parameters

The UTM parameters are short text codes, you insert into URLs (or links) to monitor the success of a webpage or a campaign. Built-in analytics are available on social media sites. These allow you to track key metrics such as likes, shares, and website clicks. You can add UTM parameters to the PrestaShop Back in stock module and take advantage.

To wrap up: The Back-in-Stock emails are one-of-a-kind alerts as they create curiosity, influence the buying motives, and increase the chances of sales.

Customer Retention Modules to Increase Your Repeat Sales and Profits on PrestaShop Store

Strategies for customer retention allow you to both provide and gain more benefits from your current customer base. For any e-commerce company, attracting new customers is an ultimate objective and maintaining existing ones forms a foundation for long-term success.

You might have heard again and again that attracting a new customer is more of a hectic thing than making the existing one do a repeat purchase.

You want to ensure that the customers you have worked so hard to attract remain with you, have a better customer experience, and tend to get value from your goods. The loyal customers making a repeat purchase are a driving force to any business.

In this post, we share our top 5 proven customer retention modules for the PrestaShop store that will help you maintain beneficial relationships with your customers and nurture their loyalty.

Let’s take a look at how to proceed.

1.     Entice with Offers and discounts for customer retention

To attract a potential customer, discounts and sales are the most exciting strategies. On your PrestaShop store, add the Facebook share and win module which can allow the customer to share the product on the Facebook account, and in exchange, they will earn a discount coupon that can be redeemed on repeat purchases.

You can also run a flash sale on your eCommerce store to increase customer retention.  Sales can attract any type of customer because people love getting their favorite stuff at cheap prices.

2.     Implementing a Loyalty Program can increase customer retention

Another proven strategy to increase customer retention is launching a loyalty program on your online store. The Loyalty Point Module and Reward Point Module are designed to offer a reward to the customers on every purchase they make.

These points can be used in the next purchase from the PrestaShop store according to the rules defined by the store.

3.     Customer satisfaction is the key to customer retention

If you want customers to shop from you again then give them the customer satisfaction they deserve. The journey starts from the home page and ends when the customer receives the expected quality product. Sometimes it happens that the product does not fit well or the customer does not like it and want to return it.

Is your store ready to manage the return order situation? If not then install the PrestaShop Return Manager module to your store which can help you handle the order cancellation and order returns effortlessly.

This is not it. If your customer needs to raise a query or require help then it is important to have a good customer support system. There are various ways you can offer customer support to your eCommerce store. Provide chat support with deskoid helpdesk, email support, live chat, call support, etc.

4.     Add personalization element

Have you heard the term personalized experience? This is the new trend in business. Treat your customers as an individual and take care of their experience as every customer has a unique taste. Customer retention can be achieved if you know how to treat your potential leads.

You can sell on-demand customized products like custom printed coffee mugs, t-shirts, wall clocks, or anything which people will like to purchase with new custom designs.

The PrestaShop Product Designer/Customizer module allows clients to add a product’s desired text, pictures, and QR code. Start this today and increase your sales to the next level.

5.     Offer subscriptions:

Encourage customers with an email to make a repeat purchase and for this, you can add a gamified email subscription module on your store in place of the boring subscription popup. The fun and playful Spin and Win fortune wheel will bring you more subscribers and you can offer some discounts, coupons to your new subscribers.

Email marketing can be used to follow your current customers. You can share the details of abandoned carts with them, take the feedback after the purchase, and also share time to time updates from the store. Price alert, new stock details all can provide you more customer retention and increases your overall sales.

Final Words: If, after the sale, you have yet to sell to existing clients, now is a good time to develop a coherent customer retention plan. Along with adding the customer retention modules, you can follow these customer retention strategies too.  To increase your sales and customer retention you must take care of every customer visiting your store. Offer deals, discounts, loyalty points, and encourage them to subscribe to your newsletter. Be clear with customer policies and do not forget to provide customer support channels to give customer satisfaction.
