Use 404 pages to encourage repeat business

The 404 page, also known as an error page or "Page Not Found" indicates to the user that a page or product can not be found, meaning that customer reached the domain they requested, but the URL path provided no information. This page can be used to your advantage by turning it into a positive experience for your users. Why not add a little creativity to the page or even add a promotion / offer to the page to keep your prospective customers engaged.

Introductory emails

If your ecommerce does not have an area where customers can sign up to receive newsletters, offers or other relevant information relating to your product or service then you could potentially be missing out on sales. We suggest creating an email strategy to obtain more emails by encouraging customers to sign up. The more sign ups you receive, the more you can communicate and build relations with prospects. Do keep in mind when creating email campaigns to not over sale or force offers as this could turn customers away. A better approach would be to try and build loyalty first by introducing your business to educate and also provide useful information.
