In other words, per-ordering lets shoppers pay for products that are out of stock, still in production, or just not available and then get them as soon as they become available.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-ordering has become very popular with small and big brands alike.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is a good example. Before launching any version of its iPhone, the tech giant would first open its doors to early buyers, allowing them to pre-order the product before it\u2019s released.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you don\u2019t need to own a brand as big as Apple to make the most of pre-ordering. As a matter of fact, you can adopt it as a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/25-shopify-marketing-tips-for-growing-your-sales\/\">marketing strategy<\/a> for your Shopify store to boost sales and revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Now you\u2019ve known what pre-orders are, you might be wondering if implementing it on your Shopify website is worth the trouble. Well, it is, actually!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some reasons why implementing pre-ordering on your Shopify website is worth the trouble.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Pre-order_Marketing\"><\/span>Benefits of Pre-order Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generate_Excitement_With_Shoppers\"><\/span>Generate Excitement With Shoppers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Have you wondered how Hollywood blockbuster movies generate billions of dollars at the box office just a few weeks after their release? Simple. The people behind these movies have mastered the art of using movie trailers to generate anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>When these movies eventually hit the theaters, viewers are already lining up to feast their eyes on them.<\/p>\n<p>E-commerce pre-ordering is no different. Teasing shoppers with your products when they aren&#8217;t available for shipping yet will stir excitement in them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Sales\"><\/span>More Sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you have many shoppers waiting for your product, enjoying a bumper sales becomes inevitable. Isn\u2019t that the reason why you are in business, after all?<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, letting customers pay for products that are not available yet for shipping also means more sales for your business.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_Customer_Retention\"><\/span>Better Customer Retention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Online shoppers will gladly pass up on your store and move to your competitor\u2019s if they realize the product they are looking to buy isn\u2019t available yet or is out of stock.<\/p>\n<p>If this becomes a regular occurrence and is left unchecked, it\u2019s just a matter of time before you lose all your customers.<\/p>\n<p>However, letting customers pay for out-of-stock products will not only help boost customer retention for your business but will also provide you with the needed cash inflow to keep your business afloat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Market_Testing\"><\/span>Market Testing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pre-orders aren\u2019t only ideal for generating sales for out-of-stock products; you can also use them for products that are still in development. Particularly, it comes in handy when you want to test a product in the market to see how consumers will react to it.<\/p>\n<p>This arrangement will save you the headache of creating products people are not interested in, tying your capital down for no good reason.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Raise_Fund\"><\/span>Raise Fund<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you put a product out in the market and many people react positively to it by pre-ordering it, you will have enough fund to push the product from production to the market.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a win-win for you in the end, as you will get to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shno.co\/blog\/idea-validation\">validate your product idea<\/a> and also get sufficient fund to push it through.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Tips_to_Make_Pre-ordering_Work_as_Effectively_as_You_want\"><\/span>5 Tips to Make Pre-ordering Work as Effectively as You want<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Merely setting up a pre-order system on your e-commerce website won\u2019t cut it; you need to take extra steps to make it work as you want.<\/p>\n<p>That said, here are 5 tips to make pre-ordering work as effectively as you want.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Go_Easy\"><\/span>1. Go Easy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to abuse the whole pre-order thing, especially if you have loyal customers that take whatever you throw at them. But you know, what goes around comes around.<\/p>\n<p>Putting your customers in a fix all the time by making them pay for out-of-stock products can strain your relationship. After all, there is a limit to what someone can take.<\/p>\n<p>With time, they will get fed up and look elsewhere. You definitely do not want that to happen, so it is important to go easy with your pre-orders.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Get_Your_Timing_Right\"><\/span>2. Get Your Timing Right<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Making customers wait so long for their pre-orders to arrive is a bad omen. That act alone can ruin the reputation of your business.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it\u2019s important to get your timing right. Customers shouldn\u2019t have to be on the wait list for too long. And you shouldn\u2019t have to deliver the product too quickly, else the whole purpose of the pre-order thingy is defeated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Communicate\"><\/span>3. Communicate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides getting your timing right, it\u2019s equally important to keep your customers updated on their progress of their pre-orders.<\/p>\n<p>Doing this will help to douse doubts and keep them at peace, as they know they aren\u2019t getting scammed.<\/p>\n<p>Send them emails, text them, and, if possible, put a call across to update them on their orders. This will help to foster trust.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Choose_the_Right_of_Pre-order_Method\"><\/span>4. Choose the Right of Pre-order Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are two major pre-order methods that you can try: the pay now and the pay later.<\/p>\n<p>For pay now, customers are made to pay for a pre-ordered item, which will be delivered to them as soon as it is available for shipping. This method is ideal if you have already built up trust with your customers and have a market-tested product.<\/p>\n<p>Accepting upfront payments from customers lets you build up cash flow for your business. However, it means you can\u2019t afford to let them down so as not to ruin your reputation.<\/p>\n<p>The pay-later model best suits sellers looking to try out a new product in the market and gather insightful data. In this arrangement, customers only have to indicate their interest in the product by making a part payment (on no payment at all, depending on your preference).<\/p>\n<p>Picking the right pre-order method is pivotal to the success of your pre-order marketing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Create_a_Sense_of_Urgency\"><\/span>5. Create a Sense of Urgency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Merely asking customers to buy products that are not ready for fulfillment isn\u2019t always enough; you need to push them to act. This is where creating a sense of urgency comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>One easy way to create a sense of urgency and get shoppers falling head over heels to pre-order your products is by offering an irresistible coupon and putting a time limit to it.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can offer a 30% discount and give shoppers 48 hours to redeem it.
