While majority of the market share is dominated by big giants like Amazon, E-bay, Alibaba, Flipkart, etc. there also exist a large number of small size e-commerce companies adding their bit to the market, relying on SaaS-based e-commerce platforms to reduce the total cost of ownership and compete with top tier companies in the market.However, increasing online advertising and promotional costs have emerged as a roadblock for the e-commerce companies which typically choose online platforms for product marketing, hindering them from realizing their goals in terms of increased sales and revenue. So, e-commerce businesses are looking for relevant technology solutions that can help them increase their conversion rates to improve ROI. This is where SpiceGems, a Kota headquartered company positioned itself in the industry by delivering innovative solutions that enable e-commerce companies to generate more leads, increase the conversion rates and average order value at the same ad-spend.

Increasing Average Order Value through Product Bundling
The easiest way for e-commerce companies to increase their revenue is to increase the amount of money customer spends on each order, in other words- average order value. This technique proves to be a better business strategy than increasing the customer base to increase sales with minimal marketing costs. Helping e-commerce companies increase their average order value for better revenues and business growth, SpiceGems created an application called Product Kits that enables them to bundle the products for customers while they purchase. Product Kits application bundles various selected child SKUs to a master SKU and delivers to the customer on discounts, creating a win-win situation for both e-commerce businesses and customers. “We enable e-commerce companies to increase the average order value through product bundling. For instance, if a customer is buying a sweatshirt, then, Product Kits can bundle it with a pair of shoes and socks, and offer a discount for the customer. This not only helps e-commerce companies increase average order value but also offers more products to consumers at low prices,” explains Varun about their Product Kits solution.
Reducing Operational Costs Associated with Product Returns
Product returns and associated refunds are the biggest cost concerns for businesses in the e-commerce domain. Most of the customers check for the return policy before shopping and would prefer shopping with merchants offering hassle-free return policy. And returns incur huge revenue loss for businesses in terms of shipping costs, apart from the damage of reputation. Return Management System - a product from SpiceGems helps businesses
reduce the operational cost related to the product returns and provide a seamless experience in managing returns. The application makes it easy for the customers to file a return and allow them to return multiple products on a single return request. It empowers sellers to handle the product return requests easily with a minimal workforce, saving them from increased operational costs of managing returns. It also provides analytics in the form of graphical reports about the most returned products and most common reasons for the returns etc. Thereby, enabling business owners to take necessary actions to increase profits. “Our application drastically reduces the cost of managing the returns for e-commerce businesses by automating the monotonous and time taking tasks and help them increase the process efficiency,” affirms Ankit.
Redirecting Visitors to Regional Sites for Increased Conversions
Despite huge spending on marketing campaigns, increasing the conversion rate is a big challenge for e-commerce businesses. SpiceGems created one of its kind solutions called GeoIP Country Redirect that helps to increase the conversion rate. The application is perfectly suitable for e-commerce companies with a presence in more than one country. It automatically and instantly redirects the website visitors to the regional sites based on their IP address and displays a redirect message on a pop window for the user, thereby boosting the conversion rate. The application by supporting multiple redirecting rules allows the business owners to easily enable or disable the redirection of website visitors based on specific rules and helps them handle the huge traffic. “Customers usually trust stores that are native to them. Our Country Redirect by redirecting customers to their respective regional stores can help to increase the conversion rates dramatically,” explains Varun about their Country Re-Direct application.
