Four of my favorite Shopify apps:
1. Instafeed is an easy way to put your Instagram feed on your website.
One of the best ways to get website views that actually convert is by having a strong social media presence. People want to stalk you and make sure you’re legit. I love instafeed because your latest IG photos just show up right there on your website. Your clients don’t even have to leave your website to stalk you, which is extra great.
2. Image Optimizer for compressing images.
Having a slow website is one of the 3 unforgivable shopify sins – I’m telling you, people don’t want to stick around and wait for your page to load to see if they might be into whatever it is you’re selling. We live in a “right here, right now” world, and people have grown accustomed to instant gratification. One of the quickest ways to get your website running faster is to compress your images. You’ll get the same image, the same quality, but compressed so your website doesn’t have to think as hard when it’s trying to load things. This app is awesome to make that so much easier for you!
3. Help Center is great for chatting with your customers.
Lets just jump back to that idea of “right here, right now” – we’re past the days of people being satisfied by sending you a question on your contact form and waiting for your reply. Help Center connects them in a super quick way that makes your customer service ratings skyrocket! Happy customers tell their friends and make more happy customers, aka more sales for you.
4. ReConvert to upsell and to cross sale.
ReConvert is an app that lets you suggest additional products right from the shopping cart. This is awesome if you have products that go together. For example, I sell Shopify Templates, and I have also created bundles to match my templates which include editable social media posts, business cards, email signatures, thank you cards, and loyalty cards. So right there in the checkout, I am able to suggest the matching business bundle to complete the whole branding package for my customers.
What did I miss? Do you have favorite apps I should be using but am not yet?
