What are typical mistakes when setting up an online store?

03/07/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Here are some typical mistakes made when setting up an online store:

Unclear objectives: an online store should have clear objectives, such as sales, customer loyalty, brand awareness or customer acquisition. If the goals are not clearly defined, it can be difficult to measure the success of the online store.

Lack of market analysis: it is important to conduct a thorough market analysis to understand the needs and wants of the target audience. Without this information, it can be difficult to properly adjust the online store's offer, price and marketing strategy.

Poor user experience: the online store should be user-friendly, offering clear navigation and ease of use. Poor user experience may cause customers to leave the online store without buying anything.

Insufficient product information: Customers want detailed information about the products they buy. If the product information in the online store is insufficient or unclear, customers may decide to buy elsewhere.

Lack of search engine optimization: Effective search engine optimization is crucial to make the online store visible in search results. If the online store does not rank well in search results, potential customers will not be able to find the online store.

Unclear payment options: The online store should offer clear and secure payment options. If the payment options are not clear or inadequate, it may deter customers and make them buy elsewhere.

Inadequate customer service: customer service is an important part of the online store and can make the difference between satisfied and dissatisfied customers. If customer service is inadequate or not easily accessible, it can deter customers and cause them to buy elsewhere.

There are many more mistakes that can be made when setting up an online store. Thorough planning and analysis, as well as collaboration with experienced e-commerce experts, can help avoid these mistakes and make the online store successful.

Posting Ads on Google Ads - A Beginner's Guide

03/07/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Google Ads is one of the most effective platforms to reach your target audience online. With Google Ads, you can place ads that are tailored to the needs of your potential customers and present your products or services. In this article, you will learn how to place ads on Google Ads and what you should pay attention to when creating ads.

Step 1: Create a Google Ads account

In order to start showing ads on Google Ads, you must first create a Google Ads account. Go to the Google Ads website and click "Start Now". Follow the instructions to set up your account.

Step 2: Keyword Research

Before you can create ads, you need to do keyword research. Keywords are the search terms that potential customers enter on Google when they search for a product or service. Find out which keywords your target group is using and which relevant search terms there are.

Step 3: Create a campaign

After keyword research, create a campaign. Choose the goal of your campaign (e.g. more traffic to your website or higher sales) and set the budget you want to spend on the campaign.

Step 4: Create ad groups

You can create multiple ad groups within your campaign. Each ad group has a specific theme and a set of keywords related to that theme. Here you can also specify which landing page the users should be directed to.

Step 5: Create ads

Create ads that match each ad group. Choose a headline and description that presents your product or service in an appealing way. Make sure your ads provide clear value to users and are tailored to your audience.

Step 6: Determine the ad format

There are different ad formats to choose from such as text ads, display ads or video ads. Choose the ad format that best fits your business and purpose.

Step 7: Audience Settings

Determine the audience you want to reach with your ads. Here you can, for example, select demographic characteristics, interests or user behavior.

Step 8: Bid

Set how much you want to bid for each click on your ad. Here you should be guided by your budget and your target groups.

Step 9: Monitor and optimize

Monitor your campaign regularly and tweak it as needed. Analyze which ads are performing well and which aren't, and adjust your campaign accordingly.

Conclusion

Placing ads on Google Ads can be a very effective online marketing strategy for businesses. Careful keyword research, targeted targeting and constant optimization are the keys to success in online marketing.

Once the ads are running, it's important to continually monitor them and make adjustments as necessary to ensure they're effective and achieving the desired goal.

ChatGPT and sales texts: How AI text generation improves the sales process

03/03/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The development of artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the way we create and consume content. Chatbots and AI text generators like ChatGPT are already in use in many industries and can also offer significant advantages in the sales area.

Sales copy is an important part of the sales process that is often overlooked. But a compelling description of the product or service can mean the difference between a successful sale and a lost customer. In this context, ChatGPT can be used as a powerful tool to generate sales texts.

How does ChatGPT work?

ChatGPT is an OpenAI based text generation technology that works with deep neural networks. It uses pattern recognition to analyze and reproduce natural human speech. It can learn from a variety of sources, absorbing and reflecting a wide range of knowledge.

For example, ChatGPT can be trained on a large set of product descriptions to get an idea of how sales text should be structured. Based on this knowledge, ChatGPT can then generate sales copy specifically tailored to the product or service being advertised.

Benefits of ChatGPT for sales texts

ChatGPT has several advantages over traditional sales text creation methods:

Efficiency: ChatGPT can generate sales texts in no time. This means companies can save time and resources by freeing human labor for other tasks.

Personalization: ChatGPT can generate very specific and personalized sales texts based on the available data. This means companies are able to better target their customers and better meet their needs.

Consistency: ChatGPT generates sales texts that are consistent and uniform. This is especially important when it comes to establishing a brand and conveying a consistent message.

Flexibility: ChatGPT can be trained on a variety of sources and data materials. Businesses can therefore ensure that ChatGPT is specifically tailored to their needs.

Conclusion

ChatGPT can be a valuable addition to the online marketing toolkit. Especially in the area of sales texts, ChatGPT can help companies to work more efficiently, more personalized and more consistently. However, it is important to emphasize that ChatGPT should not be seen as a substitute for human creativity and intuition, but as a tool. Overall, however, it is important that ChatGPT is understood as a tool and not as a substitute for human creativity and empathy in the sales process.
