Have you recently launched a website for your beauty brand? With this, you wanted to reach a wider audience and enhance revenue in this competitive market.
Notably, the cosmetics industry is growing at an 8% rate in America. With such an enticing growth rate, there are 1,044 eCommerce beauty websites and 4,172 cosmetic manufacturing companies.
To stand out in this competition, you simply created the web pages and rolled them out quickly. Unfortunately, after a few weeks, you notice that your website isn’t performing and there’s hardly any traffic.
On average, your website should receive 1,001 to 15,000 visits each month. Statista reports that until March 2024, Ulta.com (a leading beauty website) had at least 30 million monthly visits. Similarly, Sephora.com has 24.57 million monthly website traffic.
Do you want your brand’s website to reach near that level? In that case, you must follow a few creative ways to boost website traffic.
#1. Boosting Your Website Design
Research suggests that 57% of users won’t recommend a poorly designed website. Similarly, 42% of visitors would leave a website due to poor functionality. As a result, you’ll witness a higher bounce rate due to a negative user experience.
That’s why you need to boost your website’s design and align it with your beauty brand. For that, you must follow these creative web design tips:
- Create a clean and user-friendly interface.
- Optimize the website for mobile devices.
- Ensure a faster loading time.
- Use high-quality visuals.
- Incorporate intuitive navigation to engage visitors.
According to Webinopoly.com, websites can attract more traffic only if they are of high quality and have a responsive web design. They also mention that brands should choose a web design specialist based on expertise, resources, knowledge, and turnout time.
That way, the company you collaborate with can easily define your beauty brand’s business needs and website’s target audience. Based on that, they will design and develop the website before deploying it.
#2. Using Interactive Animations
To get relevant traffic to your beauty brand’s website, you must incorporate interactive animations. Did you know that 18.6% of marketers use animations to build robust brand awareness?
Ideally, you can bring in more website traffic with interactive animations. That’s because they help you create an informative and exciting user experience for visitors. It can lead to higher engagement, increased sales, and lower bounce rates.
In this beauty industry, people are more likely to buy a product after watching a video of it. With animations, you can creatively:
- Engage visitors and showcase the products dynamically.
- Demonstrate product application.
- Add interactive features like virtual try-ons and color swatches.
- Allow visitors to see real-time transformations.
- Subtly highlight key features and promotions to draw attention.
- Guide users for a seamless site experience.
All these interactive elements can make your beauty website more appealing and improve the user experience. Hence, it’ll encourage visitors to spend more time on your web pages, leading to low bounce rates.
#3. Prioritizing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Organic and Local Search
It’s indeed challenging to rank high on search engines, especially in the beauty industry. On average, 95% of keywords have 10 or fewer search volumes per month. Hence, you’ll have to do a deep dive into beauty-related keyword research to increase traffic.
Moreover, only 1% of users go to the second page of search results. That means your website must rank in the top 10 search engine results pages.
But how can you use SEO to focus on local and organic search strategies for your beauty website? All you have to do is follow these creative tips to boost visibility:
- Use high-traffic keywords (luxury makeup, organic skincare, etc.).
- Optimize the website with high-quality creative content that answers beauty-related questions.
- Include the brand’s location in titles and meta-descriptions to boost local search.
- Create a Google Business Profile with proper details and encourage customer reviews.
- Participate in online beauty events to build backlinks for your brand.
- Add keyword-rich alt texts to improve rankings.
Other than these, you must regularly update your website with blogs on beauty trends and tips. You can also use Google Ads to promote your brand and get customers.
All these SEO and content marketing tactics will help enhance your brand’s online presence and attract targeted traffic.
