Your website and online store is really important. It’s the best tool you can use to talk to your customers and the best platform to showcase your products. With your online Ecom store, your customers can get to see your brand and check out all your products. Now if your website sucks, you’re definitely going to have a hard time convincing people to buy from your store!

But there are ways that will help you maximize your website to make it the best salesperson it can be. Part of that is choosing the best apps for Shopify to do a variety of things. Lucky you because in this video, I will go through my recommendations of the top TOP SHOPIFY APPS and what I’ve seen to work really well.

BEST SHOPIFY APP #1: Shoptimized
This is an insanely helpful app and I use it for all my stores and know a heap of very successful Ecom store owners that use it on theirs too. If you are looking for the best free Shopify themes, you must go for Shoptimized theme. It will make your website look great but more importantly, this app has features that will help you convert customers and makes more sales.

BEST SHOPIFY APP #2: OptinMonster
This is the best email marketing app for Shopify, However, very few Ecom store owners are using this and realizing how important building an email list is. Optinmonster is one of the must have Shopify apps, which helps you collect all the valuable emails from visitors to your store. Apart from growing your email list, OptinMoster also reduces cart abandonment, performs onsite re-targeting, and increases your conversions and sales.

BEST SHOPIFY APP #3: Klaviyo
So you’ve started collecting emails from your customers, now you want to send them the emails. Klaviyo is, hands down, the best Ecommerce marketing app and tool to use for this. It’s made specifically for Ecommerce and integrates beautifully with Shopify.

BEST SHOPIFY APP #4: Gorgias
Looking for the best Shopify chat apps? I always recommend Gorgias. It’s because, unlike many other chat apps, it actually integrates beautifully with your Shopify store. So if a customer messages you there, you can see their order and give them order updates so easily, right there in the dashboard.

So hopefully I've convinced you of the importance of email marketing.  If not, please read my article Email Marketing - Yes You Need to Do It! 

An Email Address is an Asset

Your email list is an asset, something that all of those social media followers are not.  Email is a tried and true way to stay connected with your clients and prospects. 

I'm a big fan of soliciting email addresses from my website visitors, as you can probably tell.  My goal is to create content that my readers enjoy and find meaningful, and keep them coming back for more.  The best way to do that is to subscribe to my monthly newsletter where I highlight the content that I've recently created. You've already subscribed, right?  Here let me help: 

One thing about an email address, everyone wants to get their hands on it. It's not just a commodity but a thing of value and you need to treat it as such.  A lot of marketers now offer a discount or a freebie in exchange for an email address. It's a great way to encourage someone to sign up for an email list.  Again, think of it as an asset.

I'm not going to get into the "incentive to sign up" topic here, but I am going to share a great tool for making simple forms for your website that will be sure to increase your sign up rates.

Utilize Email Capture Forms on Your Website

Using a high-converting email capture form combined with targeting and behavior automation will dramatically help you boost conversions and grow your email list.  I'm integrating OptinMonster forms into my website for exactly that reason.  OptinMonster helps to convert website visitors into subscribers and ultimately customers. 

OptinMonster's features include:

• Beautiful forms that are proven to convert
• Personalized messages based on user behavior
• Referrer detection that shows targeted messages based on where user is coming from
• Exit-Intent Technology
• Lightbox Popup
• Drag N Drop Builder
• Retargeting
• Seamless integration with Constant Contact, MailChimp, Hubspot and email providers
• Plus Insights that help you to fine-tune your lead generation strategy

I love these guys and it's so easy to use.  Check out OptinMonster today and let's get going with that email list of yours!

I can help you with your email marketing strategy. From navigating email marketing providers and developing content down to setting up and integrating subscription forms into your website.  And to make it easy, check out this free trial being offered by Constant Contact!
