The saying “first impressions are the last impressions” holds true for online stores as much as it does for brick-and-mortar establishments. The appearance of an online store plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining customers.
Running an online store may seem straightforward, but creating a successful one requires more than just basic management skills. In addition to managing inventory and sales, you must also focus on creating a visually captivating online storefront that will entice customers to make a purchase.
To help illustrate this point, let’s take a look at some exceptional online stores on Shopboxo that have effectively used aesthetics to attract and retain customers.
Kott’s Pet Galleria
Kott’s Pet Galleria is a specialist in offering a wide range of 100% pet-safe products, including skincare, fragrances, pet accessories, enrichment toys, and home cleaning items.
Their aim is to create a more joyful and healthy environment for both pets and their owners. You’ll notice this is reflected in the storefront’s vibrant and playful pastel colour scheme, which adds to the overall fun shopping experience.
Storefront
The website’s header includes a custom logo, while custom-designed banners with clear calls-to-action (CTAs) give a clickable appearance. Additionally, product categories are conveniently displayed as icon boxes, making navigation through the site easy and intuitive.
Product Images
Kott’s Pet Galleria maintains a consistent and tidy storefront by using pastel backgrounds as the base for all its product images. You can achieve a similar design format for your own website by using various online tools that remove image backgrounds for free.
More Custom Banners
Kott’s Pet Galleria features another custom banner in the middle of the store, adding a personalised touch and serving as a visual break between product categories. This ensures that the store does not feel cluttered or overwhelming to potential customers, allowing for a pleasant shopping experience.
Our Story
Including an “About Us” or in Kott’s Pet Galleria case “Our Story” section is an effective strategy to establish brand credibility and provide potential customers with insights into the business. When combined with custom design, it reinforces the overall brand theme on the storefront too.
Contact Us
A custom-designed “Contact Us” section that provides a clear list of both online and offline store locations where customers can purchase your products not only reinforces the legitimacy of the business but also instils a sense of security in users. Complementing this section with relevant images can further enhance its appeal and encourage customers to explore it.
