Estonian retail is a mix of tradition and digital innovation, offering both opportunities and challenges. For retailers looking to grow, understanding and adapting to changing consumer expectations is essential.
The key to this lies in simplifying payment processes and expanding customer reach.
Today we take a closer look at how offering different payment options (e.g. ESTO 3) and using innovative marketing tools (e.g. ESTO Deals) can significantly impact your business's growth.
A strong foundation: simplifying payments to improve the customer experience
In a market where convenience is king, checkout needs to be seamless. Customers expect flexibility, regardless of whether they prefer traditional card payments, bank transfers, or modern solutions like the ESTO 3 payment method. Offering different options satisfies different preferences and removes possible "barriers" – such as an abandoned cart due to the lack of a suitable payment method.
With a unified payment platform, retailers can streamline their operations and improve the customer experience.
This doesn't just increase customer satisfaction, it also reduces the cart abandonment rate and makes customers more loyal.
Boosting sales: connecting with new customers
While simplifying payments improves the in-store and online experience, expanding your customer base is just as important for sustainable growth. This includes finding new customer segments and implementing effective marketing strategies.
This is where ESTO Deals becomes a powerful marketing tool. By partnering with ESTO, retailers can showcase their special offers and discounts to a large number of potential buyers. ESTO has over 700,000 private customers across the Baltics, who could also become customers of your online store or physical shop.
ESTO's extensive marketing network – including email campaigns, social media campaigns, and the ESTO customer self-service portal – ensures maximum visibility for your offers.
ESTO Deals: a strategic marketing advantage
Think of ESTO Deals as a strategic marketing tool that expands your reach without incurring major costs. Here are a few reasons to add ESTO Deals to your marketing strategy:
Targeted traffic: ESTO Deals attracts shoppers who are actively looking for discounts and offers, ensuring your offers reach a highly relevant audience.
Performance-based model: a revenue-sharing model eliminates financial risk, since you only pay when a customer makes a purchase.
