Let’s dive in.
Plug in SEO
As you've probably heard in other Printful videos,
Search Engine Optimization is a must for any online store.
Plug in SEO checks the elements of your online store for SEO issues.
The elements include page titles, headings, meta descriptions,
site speed, blog post structure and content freshness.
By fixing these issues it becomes easier for your store to rank in Google
and bring organic traffic.
You can use the app for free, and if you decide to go pro,
the app offers an upgraded plan you can try for a 7-day free trial.
The paid edition costs $20/month.
Omnisend Email Marketing
In your arsenal of ecommerce tools, email marketing is as valuable as SEO.
While SEO makes it easier for people to discover your site,
email marketing is a go-to tool for nourishing customer relationships.
With advanced automation, smart segmentation, and precise targeting,
Omnisend makes it possible for your email campaign
to reach existing and potential customers across multiple channels
like email, SMS, Facebook and Google.
Omnisend has a free plan available and features paid plans from $16/month,
which you can test during a 14-day free trial.
PushOwl Web Push Notifications
In addition to email marketing,
you can try another method to build your client list – web push notifications.
With PushOwl, you can deliver automated messages to customers’ desktops or mobile devices
to notify them about updates like ongoing promotions,
abandoned carts, product stock changes, and more.
PushOwl offers a free basic plan and upgraded plans from $19/month.
Smile: Rewards & Loyalty
If you’re looking for new ways to interact with your community
and give them an incentive to buy from you, this next app will allow you to do just that.
Smile: Rewards & Loyalty gives you an opportunity to create and manage reward programs
with loyalty points, customer referrals, and VIP tiers.
This app integrates with the biggest ecommerce and social platforms, email,
and customer relationship management service providers.
The app has a free plan available, along with paid options starting from $49/month.
Pre-Order Manager
A pre-order campaign is a great way to promote an upcoming product while measuring demand
and the potential number of sales.
With Pre-Order Manager, you can sell upcoming products
by adding a “Pre-Order” button on the product page.
This can also work for any items that are temporarily out of stock.
You can turn on/off and schedule pre-orders for certain products or for the whole store.
The list of all pre-orders will show up in the admin panel,
so you can easily handle them as you see fit.
You can try the pre-order feature on a single product for free.
Upgraded plans start from $24.95/month.
Exit Intent Popup by OptiMonk
Some of your visitors might leave your online store without looking at your catalog.
However, even in that split second of a moment, you still have a chance to attract their attention.
OptiMonk is an on-site message toolkit that displays a pop-up to leaving customers.
Depending on your strategy, you can showcase a special deal or lead magnet
to keep users on your site, or encourage them to sign up for your newsletter.
The app is free for a single domain that has up to 3,000 pageviews a month.
Upgraded plans start from $29/month.
Wishlist Plus
Not everyone who visits your store is willing or able to buy from you.
And that amounts to 96% of visitors in general.
What if there was a way for your customers to bookmark their favorite items?
Wishlist Plus increases the chances of window shoppers converting into actual shoppers
by letting them save the items they like.
The app remembers them for a later time when the visitor is ready to buy.
Wishlist Plus has a free version available
and if you ever need to expand your wishlist item limit,
you can always try upgraded plans from $14.99/month.
Yotpo: Product & Photo Reviews
If I had to guess, you probably do your research on the product you’re about to purchase.
Well, so do your customers.
That’s why it’s important to show evidence of people having a positive experience with your brand.
Yotpo collects your product reviews, photos, and Q&As, and displays them on your store
to attract visitors’ attention, build trust, and increase conversions.
You can use the app for free.
For premium plans, you’ll have to request a quote.
Socialphotos
Use the power of visuals to gain even more credibility and social proof.
Since it’s impossible to transmit the feel of the product fabric
or its fit through a screen,
a photo of someone wearing that product is a must-have on your store.
Socialphotos gathers your customers’ product photos from popular social networks
using a website widget or hashtags.
You get to decide which of these photos make it to your website.
You can start with a 30-day free trial
and later upgrade to one of the plans starting from $10/month.
