Personalization is a key part of any e-commerce strategy, but it is especially important in increasing your average order value (AOV), which in turn increases your sales. The key is to think about different personalization approaches to make each customer’s experience with your online store unique, memorable, and more valuable.
Personalization is a key part of any e-commerce strategy, but it is especially important in increasing your average order value
Here are our 4 favorite personalization approaches to leverage when thinking about AOV:
-
- Product recommendations. Personalized product recommendations based on a customer’s behavior can encourage customers to add more items to their cart.
-
- Offers. Personalized offers that meet a customer’s needs and desires to increase the AOV and improve customer loyalty.
-
- Email and SMS marketing. Personalized emails and SMS that are tailored to the individual customer to drive engagement. These can be as simple as “Thank You for the specific products you purchased” to “Here are some products we recommend for you” to “Here are some personalized offers we have curated just for you”.
-
- Chatbots and Live Chat. In lieu of in-store employees, you can utilize chatbots, virtual assistants, and live chat to help answer questions and provide support 24 / 7.
As of May 2022, the average order value for a typical online store is about ~$115, according to IRP Commerce. If yours is lower, then adopting one or more of the abovementioned personalization approaches could be great for your store.
