Shareable wishlists can also reach new customers who are shopping for gifts or want to copy a social media influencer\u2019s style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to boost sales for your online store with wishlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choose your wishlist plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best wishlist plugins make it easy for your customers to use them. Look for guest wishlist options, social shareability, privacy options for individual wishlists, and easy to use admin tools that show you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>which products are the most wished-for. Two of the best-rated options for stores that run on WordPress with WooCommerce are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/products\/woocommerce-wishlists\/\" target=\"_blank\">WooCommerce\u2019s own Wishlists plugin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/yithemes.com\/themes\/plugins\/yith-woocommerce-wishlist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">YITH WooCommerce Wishlist<\/a>. Both cost $79 for a one-year, single-site subscription. YITH also offers a pared-down free version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Decide what to call your wishlists <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishlist-as in, 'add to wishlist'\u009d may seem like the obvious term to use in your store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But UX-research group <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nielsen Norman Group (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/wishlist-or-cart\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nielsen Norman Group<\/a> has found that some shoppers feel 'greedy'\u009d about adding things to a list to share with others. NNG recommends alternatives like Favorites or My List. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choose where to put wishlist tools on your site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There should be an add to wishlist (or favorites or my list) button on every product page. Google\u2019s Retail UX Playbook lists wishlist-related calls to action on product pages to reduce friction for shoppers who are browsing or who want to complete their purchase later, on another device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add a wishlist button-usually a heart-to product photos on your category pages. West Elm does this, and lets shoppers start marking favorites without signing in or creating an account first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1024x543.png\" alt=\"west elm wishlist heart products to add them to favorites\" class=\"wp-image-22073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1024x543.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-768x408.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3.png 1956w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoppers can review their My Favorites Gallery and sign in if they want to save those items for later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1024x708.png\" alt=\"west elm favorites with wishlist items for online store\" class=\"wp-image-22074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1024x708.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-768x531.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4.png 1702w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to make wishlists visible and easy to access from the shopping cart and during checkout, to encourage shoppers to add items from their lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Customize your store\u2019s wishlist tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be able to customize your wishlist buttons, colors, messages, and more to blend in with your site design. You may also have the option to require that shoppers register in order to make a wishlist, although NNG recommends against that because it adds friction to the shopping experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be able to customize the sharing options you want your store\u2019s wishlists to support. Make it as easy as possible for shoppers to share their lists, especially on social media. One study found that online stores without 'clear social sharing options'\u009d consistently <a href=\"https:\/\/internetretailing.net\/themes\/themes\/top-retailers-failing-to-capitalise-on-growing-social-media-influence-as-instagram-love-starts-to-fade-19463\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">miss out on potential sales<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Preview and test your store\u2019s wishlist features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate through your store the way shoppers do and add things to test wishlists to make sure that everything looks and works the way you want it to. Preview the new setup on different devices and pay special attention to how your customizations look on mobile phones. And follow our recommendations for other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/diy-ux-guide-website-usability-testing\/\">UX testing best practices<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Activate your new wishlist capabilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your wishlist functions live, let your shoppers know they can make wishlists, and then listen for their feedback. You may need to tweak things as customers start building and sharing their lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishlist implementation done, right? You\u2019re just getting started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll get much more value from your store\u2019s wishlists if you go beyond relying on customers to keep and share their lists. The next steps are all about making the most of the marketing opportunities wishlists give you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Use wishlist data in your marketing campaigns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your wishlist admin dashboard to make your marketing more effective. You\u2019ll see how often list owners post. You can see which products are on the most wishlists and promote them. You can personalize email offers to customers based on specific items on their lists. And you can create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/ecommerce-holiday-campaign-ideas\/\">holiday promotions<\/a> that offer deals on users\u2019 wishlist items and incentives for sharing lists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also send <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/online-store-personalize-customers-experience\/\">personalized offers<\/a> of similar items at different price points, along with cross-sell offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a customer has a pair of jeans on her list, you can offer cheaper and more expensive jeans from the same brand. You can also offer tops, belts, and shoes that would look good with her wishlist jeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Test your wishlist-based marketing efforts <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve talked before on the blog about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/what-we-learned-from-ab-testing-over-300-million-emails\/\">A\/B testing for email marketing<\/a>, and your wishlist marketing messages should get A\/B tested, too. Sometimes the color or placement of a button or a small change to the wording of a subject line can make a significant difference in engagement and conversions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, test early and often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Monitor your wishlist metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, you\u2019ll send trends emerge from you wishlist data. How many of your shoppers have wishlists? Is the number of lists rising or flat? Are your customers consistently sharing their lists, or do you need to promote sharing more heavily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay special attention to how users are sharing their lists. Is email or social their preferred channel? If it\u2019s social, which platforms do they use the most, and which platforms generate the most traffic to your store from shared lists? This data will help you decide where to focus your marketing efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also flag areas where you may need to improve UX. For example, if you\u2019re getting a lot of click-throughs from lists shared on Instagram but very few conversions, you need to examine that pathway to see if there are obstacles you can remove to increase sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Keep optimizing your wishlist program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumer preferences, technology, and social network popularity are always evolving. That means you need to keep tabs on what\u2019s trending in online retail, in addition to watching your marketing metrics and A\/B test results. Keep listening to your customers, too. Any opinions or requests they share about your wishlists when they contact customer service or post on social media are data you can use to build a better wishlist program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start granting e-commerce wishes? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/use-website-builder-setup-new-online-store\/\">Build your online store with HostGator.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding wishlist functions to your online store can help turn more window-shoppers into paying customers, if you make your wishlist&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":162,"featured_media":23423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[141,139],"class_list":["post-22072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-startup-small-business","tag-ecommerce","tag-startup-small-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.2 (Yoast SEO v23.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>10 Ways to Boost Online Store Sales with Wishlists - HostGator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Adding a wishlist to your online store can help turn window-shoppers into paying customers.
