Recently Viewed Products<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When browsing through products, it\u2019s always helpful to be able to go back and view a product you last looked at but didn\u2019t save. But, a store that doesn\u2019t show a shopper what they last looked at makes it that much harder for the shopper to buy from you. Amazon\u2019s \u201cRecently Viewed\u201d section allows its large customer base to find products they looked at quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Show recently viewed products with a minimal widget that is easy to scroll through. Set up a quick access widget on your storefront to let shoppers see what they last looked at.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the <strong>recently viewed product recommendations<\/strong> look like:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertvillagemedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/recently-viewed-product-recommendations-wiser.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14932 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expertvillagemedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/recently-viewed-product-recommendations-wiser.png\" alt=\"recently viewed product recommendations wiser\" width=\"1600\" height=\"648\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-new-arrivals\"><strong>2. New Arrivals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Oftentimes, your newly launched products will see fewer clicks and purchases. For one, Google takes longer to index these product pages and your SEO efforts will take a week or two to make an impact. On the other hand, store visitors and frequent shoppers won\u2019t be browsing your store for these new products since they aren\u2019t yet popular on your Shopify store.<\/p>\n<p>Set up a widget to promote these newly arrived products and get shoppers to notice and buy them. This widget gives you the opportunity to maximize views on your new products without too much effort.<\/p>\n<p>You can place the widget on your storefront if you want to let browsers know about them. Setting up the New Arrivals widget on the cart page is also a smart idea. Shoppers who are already interested in your products will be able to add these new products to their carts before completing their purchase.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertvillagemedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/new-arrivals-product-recommendations.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14933 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expertvillagemedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/new-arrivals-product-recommendations.png\" alt=\"new arrivals product recommendations\" width=\"1600\" height=\"796\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-featured-products\"><strong>3.
