\"ecommerce<\/p>\n

All growing E-commerce Business reach a point where they either have to evolve or suffer the consequences. The field in itself is full of fierce competition and those not trying to get ahead will inevitably get left behind in the dust.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re seeking to scale up your online business, there are two things you undoubtedly need: time and money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re seeking to save money, consider implementing some accounting tools<\/a> in your business.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re seeking to save time (and money in the long run), then you might want to consider automating some parts of your eCommerce business. And if you\u2019re not sure how to do that, then you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll be looking at how you can start automating some tasks<\/a> in your eCommerce business.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Automate product imports and more<\/h2>\n

Depending on where you get your products from, you might be spending a lot of time on manually importing products to your store and making sure they\u2019re set up correctly. This takes time because the process has a lot of details you need to be keeping an eye on.<\/p>\n

But what if you could automate this whole process with just one click?<\/p>\n

Oberlo<\/a> is one of the most important E-commerce Business and Shopify tools that can help you in running your online store.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re running a drop-shipping type of website and you\u2019re importing your information from AliExpress, Oberlo can make that process go by with a single click. It imports the text (which you then might need to switch up based on your target market), images, products and more.<\/p>\n

This is one of the most convenient ways to save time and have new products show up on your website straight away.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Automate social media posts<\/h2>\n

Social media is a powerful way to market your business and make sure you\u2019re laser targeting the right people, especially in terms of advertising. But many business owners often neglect social media or either just focus on one single platform (usually Facebook).<\/p>\n

While it is true that some platforms might be more useful for you than others (depending on your niche, industry, etc.) the principle is still the same here. Regardless of your social media platform, it\u2019s important you know how to utilize it correctly.<\/p>\n

If you want to save time managing social media for your business and schedule future posts, consider Buffer<\/a> as your social media management tool and EvergreenFeed<\/a> to automate your evergreen posts.<\/p>\n

With Buffer, you can manage and plan up to 10 social media posts for free per day. And when those posts will go live – that\u2019s entirely up to you.<\/p>\n

So, essentially, you can plan out your whole social media posts in advance and watch them go live throughout the week on all your platforms. All you have to do then is sit back and view the analytics.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Automating product reviews<\/h2>\n

Your reviews could be the deciding factor for someone making a decision to buy. Customers take reviews as personal recommendations, so, the more authentic and positive reviews you have – the better.<\/p>\n

Social proof<\/a> is essential in eCommerce.<\/p>\n

There are a number of ways to generate reviews as an e-Commerce business. But arguably the best way to do so is to just automate the whole process without your involvement.<\/p>\n

For this, the Products reviews addon<\/a> extension is a tool that will automatically ask customers to leave product reviews after receiving the product. Your customers can then leave a review straight from the email they\u2019ll receive – making the process even more convenient for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

While this sounds simple, by automating review requests, you\u2019re giving your eCommerce business a bigger chance to be trusted by your customers and generate more sales. Reviews help customer conversion rates and if they truly loved the product, they won\u2019t hesitate to leave a positive review.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Automating emails<\/h2>\n

Do you do a lot of customer support and have to send a lot of follow-ups and reminders?<\/p>\n

Chances are, if you\u2019re working in eCommerce, you don\u2019t want to lose your potential clients and leads. So, if you want to better organize your email system, consider using a tool like Boomerang<\/a> for convenient email scheduling and reminders.<\/p>\n

Boomerang is a browser extension that allows you to select when exactly you want your emails to go out. If you\u2019re dealing with a lead who\u2019s in another time zone, you can specify for your email to be sent when it\u2019s the morning for them. This way, you\u2019ll make sure they\u2019ll see the email in the morning and you can also see if they opened it or not. You can then follow up accordingly.<\/p>\n

But the convenience doesn\u2019t stop there. Boomerang can also help you manage your emails and organize them more neatly too. If you want to be reminded of your important emails, you can get the app to archive the message and then be put back in your inbox with a star later.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s integrated within Gmail, thus, downloading and setting it up is easy to say the least.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Every other various business tasks<\/h2>\n

Finally, if you want to automate a number of business tasks, based on certain prerequisites – consider using IFTTT<\/a>. This is a great way to connect other apps that otherwise might not have integrations with each other.<\/p>\n

For example, if you often have to do a lot of manual tasks only after a certain task is done – you can just automate the whole process based on the prerequisites. In other words, if you want to change your Twitter profile whenever you change your Facebook profile, you can set up a trigger task through IFTTT. Hence the name – \u201cif this, then that.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are countless other tasks you can automate, especially for\u00a0E-commerce Business. The tool is easy to use, free, and has a lot of potential for eCommerce tasks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
