Convincing a customer to part with their hard earned cash is not easy at the best of times. When a customer walks into a bricks and mortar shop they can pick up and inspect the physical product and talk to staff if they have any questions. With an online eCommerce shop customers have to be reassured that not only the shop is legitimate but also that the products are of good quality and the service levels are high. Here are 10 top actions you can take to reassure your customers into checking out on your eCommerce shop.
