What are MARKETING apps that you need for Shopify store

[Mike_Anderson1]

Hi guys,

My name is Mike Anderson. I'm a brand asistance @ DRT

I started a Shopify website as a side project 1 month ago. I am really new to Shopify and digital marketing also. I just want to ask what MARKETING apps, you think, are necessary for all Shopify store?

All opinions are highly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help

Most shopify apps have fake reviews from friends of the programmer or the programmer themselves. Many reviews are from people who's websites are not even open or active. Click on the review posters name and you will see. Anything short of a 30 day trial is a waste. You need a few weeks to really see the app working to see if it's worth buying into. 7 day free trials are not even worth trying. Might take you a few days to get it working and even longer to see if it really works as the programmer promised. 

No marketing app can promise you conversions. It's all false hope.

Hi Elad Shochot,

Anh Nguyen - How do you attract traffic to your landing pages without advertisement? 

I think the most natural way is the organic from Google. Thanks to Shopify because it has the essential SEO onsite optimization. The SEO starts from building the releval and useful content for your users. Only after that take care about driving the taffic and building the trust via backlinks. If you're interested in Shopify SEO good points just have a look at this article.

Cheers,

Tony

Hi Mister Max, I totally agree!

No marketing app can promise you conversions. It's all false hope. 

eCommerce in general or Shopify conversion rate is affected by many factors. Only tracking and testing to find out. Optimize conversion rate is a painful process. I believe that marketing apps make it less painful!

Here are a few of my all time favorite marketing apps:

• LoyaltyLion - Gamify your store
• Sumo - Collect emails and drive more traffic
• Yotpo - More reviews and content from your customers
• SEO Manager - All your SEO needs in one app

I think there are a lot of useful apps, as many are mentioned here.

A more refined question would probalby be...great apps for what purpose?

When it comes to marketing, for example, one that I've found extremely useful is Soundest.  It's an email marketing platform that really has a lot of features. For example, I had a separate app before for popups, then for the spin-the-wheel and then I used Shopify cart recovery emails. But now I just use Soundest for all that. You should really check 'em out. Muuuuuch easier than mailchimp, and not as convoluted and expensive like Klaviyo. It's apparently made for ecommerce, so that explains why I guess. It's here if you wanna check 'em out: https://apps.shopify.com/soundest

I strongly recommend the Revy Countdown Timer, countdown timers they are excellent to generates Urgency and Scarcity, great for promotions, sales, and also for holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, in the settings you can create timers for 1, 2, 3 or all your products if you want.

Revy Timer has 2 modes: 

Specific Mode - Timer specific for each user, is perfect to show in all your products, so every product generates urgency, our recommendation is put few minutes, so the urgency sensation is higher. And also,  you can choose to repeat after ends, this way you just let it run as much as you like.

Normal Mode - Timer ends on a specific date. This option is perfect for holidays or if you want to end/start a promotion in certain date and time. Fits perfectly on Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc.

This countdown app have different themes but if you choose the Modern one, here is an example of how it should look:
