How Speaking Your Customer's Language Can Rocket Your Ecommerce Sales

The flareAI Helpful Guides Series for Mid-market & Small Ecommerce businesses 

A digital guru grew his monetization by 47% simply by catering to his multilingual audience, translating his website into multiple languages. 


If you are selling to the world, speak your customer’s language. 


But as an Ecommerce Merchant, with a small team and limited time, you would be intimidated as there are 1000s of languages, and translations used to cost a lot. Most of us are not digital gurus with a voluminous budget. 


Worry no more, here are three easy actionable tactics you can use to get the most eCommerce sales from your multi-language website budget.


Easy Actionable #1 Shortlist Top-5 Country-Language Pairs


Look up your order history understand where your buyers are coming from and prepare your top-4, sales-wise country and language. Example: United States-English, Japan-Japanese


Then, if you want to tap into a new market, add that country-language pair to the mix as well. Example: France-French


So now you have 5. But wait, then REMOVE from your 5 any pair that is not in the following list of big eCommerce spenders:


China

US

UK

Japan

South Korea

India

Germany

Indonesia

Canada

France


Voila! Now you have a  manageable list of 5 or fewer prioritized translation languages


Easy Actionable #2 Translations made Affordable

Prepare rough drafts using tools like Google Translator, chatGPT, or an app relevant to your platform such as Shopify Translate & Adapt. Hire a translation agency (make sure they use human translators), to give it a look over, correct, fine-tune for local culture and affinities.    


Easy Actionable #3 Add the Multi-language Pages to Your Store

Choose between two recommended alternate website structures to add the language.


Best for Mid-market Stores: Create top-level domains like .de for German, .fr for French

Best for Smaller Stores: Create subdirectories like /de/ or /fr/. Shopify uses this structure by default


If you want to do all these continually on autopilot for your Shopify store

Your Dad Told You

The flareAI Fast Answers Series for Shopify Plus & Shopify businesses. My Dad told me “Son treat every customer as if they’re the most important one you have”.  Yes, Dad! My Klaviyo consultant told me “Segment the heck out of your 5,000 clients, and prioritize who deserves the most attention”. Sure, Mr Consultant Guy! On the surface, what your Dad told you and what the consultant is telling you seem opposite.  But most world-class businesses do both, and do both well.  Take Walmart for example. Sam Walton encouraged Walmart Greeter to greet ALL shoppers to smile, look them in the eye, and greet them” At the same time, Walmart Global Tech’s 11,000 people use AI and Big Data to slice and dice data to figure out which customers need what attention. So how would you re-imagine this in your 10-person eCommerce business.
