6 key tactics to boost your e commerce conversion ratesHelios Solutions

Content production takes tremendous strategy, effort, and analysis. Crafting blogs, infographics, image quotes, and related materials that garner attention, educates, and convinces consumers takes serious finesse.
You also have to ensure that articles and social posts are more effective than the competition and still adhere to SEO best practices. Tackling all these nuances feels like a herculean task.
Considering content creation is an increasingly challenging undertaking, shouldn’t you try to get the most out of your materials?
Then consider translating your content into other languages to reach new audiences. There’s no reason why everything you create can’t go global.
English, despite being spoken by roughly 1.5 billion people (or about 20% of the global population), accounts for more than 51% of all content online.
This divide presents massive opportunities for brands who are willing to go the extra mile to capitalise on underserved markets.
While many opt for translation plugins to try to fill this void, these are not the best ways to translate a website or its content. This is because such automated tools do not understand the nuances of many languages, often creating nonsensical translations; this could actually damage your reputation and alienate audiences.
Here are 10 compelling reasons to get started transcribing your website content right away.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

Editor's Notes
Hello, and welcome to today’s webinar where I’ll be discussing five aspects of the checkout process that digital merchants can optimize in order to reach more customers worldwide.
There’s no doubt that ecommerce is on the rise.
In fact, the global ecommerce space topped one trillion dollars in twenty-twelve, one-point-three trillion dollars in twenty-thirteen and was forecast to hit one-point-five trillion dollars by the end of twenty-fourteen.
Adopting a localized checkout process is important to capitalizing on this growth.
While North America and Western Europe continue to drive the ecommerce space, it’s emerging markets such as the Asia-Pacific region and Brazil that are contributing the most new dollars.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how you can localize your cart to enable online customers in these markets to purchase your products and services using their local languages, currencies and payment methods.
I’ll begin by briefly touching on what cart localization means for today’s digital merchants.
Then, I’ll explain the series of benefits digital merchants have come to experience after adopting a localized cart.
And finally, I’ll explain which five elements of your cart can be localized right away to provide an optimal shopping experience for your customers.
Okay, let’s quickly define cart localization.
By definition, cart localization is the process of adapting your checkout process to different markets so that it appears native to the user in every way.
This includes elements like currency, language, design, numbers and dates.
The ultimate goal here is being able to reduce purchase anxiety and cart abandonment rates.
The localization of online carts has a huge effect on conversions for online transactions because customers want the simplest, most hassle-free experience when purchasing something online, no matter their native language or where they live.
If customers don’t have that experience, they’ll be much more likely to abandon their purchase.
A localized checkout process has a number of benefits including the ability to reach more customers, increase conversions, make more money and achieve a better ROI.
Providing a localized experience to shoppers around the world will allow you to reach more customers.
In fact, fifty-five percent of consumers buy only from websites where information is presented in their native language.
As you begin to support more languages, you’ll have a greater opportunity to attract the growing number of customers who are demanding a localized experience.
Localized carts will also lift your conversions.
The anxiety and friction shoppers experience is drastically reduced when a cart page is optimized for a customer’s country.
This will translate to a reduction in cart abandonment and can increase international conversion rates by seventeen percent.
With greater customer reach and increased conversions, your business is going to drive more revenue.
In fact, sixty-five percent of multinational enterprises believe localization is either important or very important for achieving higher company revenues.
And what makes localization particularly attractive for digital merchants is its return on investment.
Studies have shown that for every dollar invested in localization, up to twenty-five dollars can be returned.
Each business that adopts a localized cart will of course see a different return on their investment but the chances of success are greatly improved when working with a knowledgeable ecommerce partner.
Localizing your checkout process doesn’t have to be a major undertaking.
To get started, it easiest to focus on currencies, languages, design, mobile optimization and payment methods.
By implementing these five cart elements, you’ll provide an optimized experience for your global customers.
Let’s take a closer look at each one.
When it comes to currency, thirteen percent of online shoppers leave a cart without paying simply because the price is in a foreign currency.
Imagine an American customer wanting to buy software from an online merchant in India whose cart shows the purchase total in Rupees.
How can anyone expect the American shopper to be confident they’re getting the product at a reasonable price?
Customers around the globe feel that same hesitation when shopping online and seeing their cart total presented in an unfamiliar currency.
Presenting prices and checkout totals in local currencies assures international customers that foreign exchange rates won’t alter the final cost.
Local currency also increases the customer’s sense of trust in your company and they will be much more likely to complete their purchase.
As mentioned earlier, over half of customers buy only from websites that present information in their native language.
So it’s important that your site is offered in multiple languages.
And this doesn’t have to be a huge project, ninety percent of online shoppers speak one of the thirteen languages shown here.
So if you focus on several of these you will reach a large portion of your market.
Also, displaying all text in the shopper’s native language lets them navigate the checkout process without having to deal with third-party translation tools that might frustrate them to the point of abandoning their purchase.
With design, the look and feel of a site plays an important role in converting customers.
To make your cart feel native and culturally adapted, choose a website template that maintains corporate consistency through the use of brand colors and logos, while still allowing for the flexibility to localize.
In addition, choose a template that allows form fields to adapt to different language lengths.
Fields should expand or contract depending on the language being used because text in languages like English can expand one-hundred-and-fifty percent or more when translated into some European languages, such as German.
The way in which a customer reads or scans your checkout page for information should also be taken into consideration.
In North America, it’s natural for site visitors to scan pages in an F-shape pattern, reading text from left to right and focusing heavily on the left side of the page.
However, shoppers from Arabic countries will read from right to left, and may be deterred by page designs that don’t accommodate their approach.
Overcoming this can be as simple as installing a horizontal navigation bar instead of vertical, and choosing a symmetrical design to help prevent confusion.
But supporting different languages and providing easy navigation aren’t the only factors you should consider when implementing a localized cart.
Colors, pictures and other design aspects are all important to the user and can be interpreted differently by different cultures.
Take the color green for example.
While it may be a popular color for call-to-action elements in North America, red or gold is often used in Asia for calls-to-action.
Images and pictures are also influencers in making the customer more comfortable when purchasing.
The involvement of a human element tends to evoke a stronger reaction from people across the world, so having pictures of people who relate to your target audience work well.
Let’s take a look at mobile.
There’s no doubt that mobile purchases are increasing rapidly, with many customers researching and buying on mobile devices.
For example, in China mobile commerce was expected to reach fifty billion dollars by the end of twenty-fourteen.
That’s double the value it had in twenty-thirteen.
To meet this demand, digital merchants should have detailed, mobile-friendly product pages that effectively convey the value of their product or service to a mobile user.
The most important factor to consider is the reduced size of a page’s text and buttons on a mobile device.
If a shopper has to pinch and swipe multiple times to find a button or read a product description, frustration will mount quickly and they’ll soon ask themselves if the trouble is worth their money and time.
Moving onto payment methods – as I mentioned, people feel more comfortable engaging in online transactions in their own currency, so it’s not surprising that sixty-seven percent of online shoppers abandon carts because a site doesn't support their local payment methods.
Providing customers with a range of their country’s most widely used payment choices inspires trust that their purchase will be handled securely.
For example, Brazilians tend to favor Boleto Bancario.
The Japanese have made Konbini extremely popular.
The Chinese like to make cash-on-delivery purchases, and Germans, who tend to be concerned about privacy issues, prefer bank transfers over credit cards.
And then there’s PayPal.
Although a popular payment method, PayPal isn’t available everywhere – so avoid making it the only payment option for your customers.
In any case, conduct research on how your customers prefer to pay in the countries you’d like to sell in and offer those that you know are most popular.
Implementing a localized cart starts with understanding the currencies, languages, designs, mobile pages and payment methods preferred by shoppers in countries you’d like to target.
Once you understand your audience, then you’ll be able to update your cart using the five elements I’ve outlined.
That being said, an easy way to get started is to work with a global ecommerce company.
These companies specialize in global online payments.
They have carts that offer multiple languages, currencies and payment methods and they also provide expert advice to help you optimize your customer’s experience wherever they are in the world.
