Why You Should Replace The Default Thank You Page In WooCommerce?

Directing your buyers to the default thank you page is unwise if your goal is to retain your buyers as loyal customers.

Your default order confirmation page simply discloses order details, billing/shipping address, and the total amount spent. It doesn’t leave a lasting impression.

1. Display Recently Viewed Items to Thirst Trap Buyers

One unique feature of online shoppers is that they are flexible.

An individual might come online to shop, with the intention of just getting a red dress. However, since they enjoy exploring several product pages and items before zeroing in on one, they end up wanting more items than their originally intended.

Displaying the recently viewed items on the Thank You Pages is a strategic idea to send them back into the funnel.

2. Personalized Coupon Code for First-Time Purchasers

Like they say, “first impression matters a lot.” Coupon codes are a great way to lure shoppers into purchasing from your website.

The thought of a discount is always pleasant to online shoppers. Paying less is always thrilling for it entails you get to save cost.

In fact, one of the best ways to forge a bond and earn the trust of a buyer is by redeeming a coupon code. Gestures like this are rewarding for they leave a positive impression on the shopper, and they are likely to buy from you again.

Also, when you go to the extra mile of personalizing the coupon code, you made your clients feel special. People love to feel special, so they will often shop from a site that gives them that feeling.

Coupon Codes can easily be personalized, simply use the buyer’s name, phone number, email as a coupon code.

3. Thank You Video

People love to be appreciated, it gives them a sense of value and importance.

Displaying a Thank You video to a customer after shopping shows gratitude. It also entails that you value their patronage, therefore they are likely to patronize you again.

A Thank You page is your chance to forge a bond with your customers, so that you become their favorite vendor.

In addition to saying thank you, you can create a video that gives helpful insight as regards the products they purchased. This way, they feel you truly care about them and not just their money

4. Get Recommended by shoppers

One of the best ways to get recommended by shoppers to their friends and family is by social shares. Strategically place social sharing buttons on your website.

You can warmly request your clients to share your posts/products with others. When your services are good people are willing to help you with such a small favor.

Mind you, Google interprets social share as a positive cue and your site is ranked higher.

5. Award Rewards for Social Sharing

The cost of paid ads can be saved when your buyers double as your biggest marketers.

Using coupon codes as a reward system, you can ignite your customers into marketing for you. They can do this by recommending you to their friends.

6. Activate Personalized Coupon Code

This entails offering a coupon code to customers that shop up to a specified amount. The discount rate varies according to the amount spent.

For instance, a customer whose purchase is valued at $200 can be issued a discount of 5%. Whereas, a shopper that made purchased worth  $500 can receive a discount of 15%, etc.

7. Prime Your Buyers

When a buyer makes a purchase on your store they are taken to your thank you page. Exploit this opportunity to promote your upcoming seasonal or special sales.
