8 Most Useful Triggers for Online Stores
Useful triggers for an online store: visitors turn … into buyers. What did you think?
In this article, you will learn how to increase the conversion of your site using triggers – psychological tricks that will help you perform the miracle transformation of a site visitor into a buyer.
Simplicity
Today, in many online stores, there is such a trend that it is difficult for the buyer to reach the purchase – he is offered a lot of buttons that knock him out of the main goal – “Buy”.
How to Implement the Simplicity Trigger
Make sure that the path from the basket to the purchase is not multi-stage, but in 1 click. Such simplicity is accepted with a bang, and turns visitors into buyers!
Social approval
When choosing a product, most of your customers look at what social opinion about it is present on the site: reviews, social network indicators.
How to Implement the Social Approval Trigger
Provide customers with reviews about your product, let them be different and as much as possible. The number of reviews will emphasize the demand for your product, as well as reflect the level of quality.
Today, many online stores forget about it, but in vain.
Use customer expectations, and they will buy from you!
Threat of loss
Fear motivates customers to take quick action, which is successfully used by well-known online stores, such as LeBoutique (Ukraine).
How to Implement Threat of Loss Trigger
Set a special price for the product, as well as a deadline for promotions and get sales. Tested on my own experience! Online auctions, goods left in 1 copy, etc. are also successfully working.
Comparison
How to implement the “Comparison” trigger
Arrange in your online store a simple and understandable plate with the characteristics of the product, and give the client the opportunity to compare and choose.
Almost everyone has adopted the same thing in the price of a product – compare the regular price of this product with the promotional price, weekend price, holiday price, etc.
We can often see how this trigger is used by online stores of home appliances and electronics. We look at the example of the Eldorado online store:
Advantages
When considering a purchase, the customer often “weighs” the benefits of the product they like. So, in different online stores of household appliances the same product is presented, but its advantages are presented in different ways. And this is where this trigger comes into play.
How to Implement Benefits Trigger
For example, you sell headphones. In this case, it is important not only to indicate the sound power in numbers, but also verbally – these headphones guarantee you a clear, powerful sound.
For example, this is how the Panasonic RP-HJE125E-A headphones are described by the Rozetka online store
Present
We all love gifts that come with purchases. And the more attractive the announced gift, the higher the motivation to buy! This trigger is used by such world famous brands as Yves Rocher.
How to implement the “Gifts” trigger
Encourage customers to buy by advertising enticing gifts, as Yves Rocher does. Interest the client, emphasize the benefits received when buying right now and you will see an increase in conversion.
New
It is worth noting that online shoppers are innovators. Conservatives buy out of habit offline. So take advantage of this feature.
How to implement the “New” trigger
Your customers are interested in everything new, and you just need to emphasize the new items, highlight them with the help of special “new” labels, or you can display them in a separate “News” section. At the same time, do not forget to make an e-mail newsletter with new products. Conversion growth will not keep you waiting!

Each new collection is accompanied by an e-mail newsletter.
Mi-mi-mi
