Humans have a limited attention span (just 8 seconds long), as we are filled with deliberation, choices, distractions, and doubts. However, there are lots of tools out there to help you minimize <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/glossary\/cart-abandonment\/\">cart abandonment<\/a>, but we can\u2019t eradicate it completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/ebooks\/cart-abandonment\/#guide-download\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Download Free: Cart Abandonment Guide<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all is not lost.

You can have a banner asking people to sign up. It can be part of a registration form, or you can use your cart abandonment software to produce <a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/blog\/optimizing-exit-intent-popups\/\">exit intent pop-ups<\/a> (displayed when visitors look as if they are about to leave). It is estimated that 35% of lost shoppers can be saved by using exit intent pop-ups, but test this for yourself to see if this is true for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"js-cro-guide-subheading gtm_heading \" data-level=\"level2\" data-menu=\"Opt-In Changes\" id=\"opt-in-changes\" data-menu-id=\"opt-in-changes\" style=\"text-align:left\">Opt-In Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/f-shaped-pattern-reading-web-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visual tracking research<\/a> shows that we browse websites following an F-shaped pattern, favoring the top and left-hand sides.

For a particular VWO customer, removing the navigation menu resulted in a 100% increase in conversions. Try removing your navigation menu from the form page, to reduce distraction, and removing the option to leave the form, and see if these increase your conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Form Layout<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 70% of online shoppers abandon their cart halfway through the checkout process, meaning that they are also halfway through filling out your form. Some cart abandonment software applications capture email addresses in real-time, even if the visitor doesn\u2019t hit Submit. Therefore, test moving the email address field higher up on your shopping cart and checkout pages, to capture the email address before the visitors abandon the page so that you can send them a follow-up email reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Copy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Words are powerful and emotive: They can make people comply, offer, or turn away. Consider how you are asking for shopper\u2019s email addresses and then test different methods, such as explaining why, using personable language, emotive words, or by using less number of words.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1249\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/vwo\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg\" alt=\"pop ups to stop ecommerce abandonment\" class=\"wp-image-41224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/gcp\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg 1249w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/vwo\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg?tr=w-1024 1024w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/vwo\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg?tr=w-768 768w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/vwo\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg?tr=w-640 640w, https:\/\/static.wingify.com\/vwo\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/05\/image1.jpg?tr=w-375 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1249px) 100vw, 1249px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Field Population<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Do visitors respond better to form fields that are pre-populated with example text (such as example@example.com), blank fields, or fields compatible with Google Autocomplete.

However, the following 12 are our favorites, because they work. Increasing the number of email addresses you capture before cart abandonment and using these addresses in your follow-up cart abandonment email campaign, you can convert over 20% of lost online sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The author owns screenshots in the blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note:&nbsp;This is a guest article written by Brett Thoreson&nbsp;, the CEO at CartStack.
