In the eCommerce arena, competition is fierce regardless of what product category you sell. In a world where people can get what they need/want at a push of a button, it is essential to establish a strong storefront to draw potential customers into your store. Marketplaces don’t give sellers control of their store API. That’s why Lazada Store Decoration is such a useful and beneficial tool for sellers. It gives you the ability to control how your store looks to customers. Learn more about Lazada Store Decoration below.

What Is The Importance Of A Well-Decorated Storefront?
First impression matters. Think of this as your offline store inside a mall. When your store does not look nice, people will not be enticed to go inside it.
When you have store design that shows your brand is authentic and trustworthy, guiding your customers towards the first step in the Lazada Sales Funnel becomes easier.
Aside from that, Lazada itself states that cataloging your product using Lazada Store Decoration is proven to lead to a 70% increase in conversion.
A well-designed storefront also helps customers navigate your store seamlessly. In that case, it increases the tendency for a customer to come back. Hence, it can increase customer loyalty or customer retention.
But ultimately, your storefront has an impact on the content score of your products as well as your seller performance. By taking care of your store design, you are able to lay the foundation of good/decent store performance.
What Should Be On The Storefront?
Apart from the store header banner and logo, priority elements for your storefront are:
- Hero products
- Promos
- Discounts
- Carousel banner (to display the priorities of your brand)
Product Image Requirements
It is important that your products have high-resolution images with white background. When one uploads an image, it usually gets stretched. Hence, the quality could diminish as it appears on the storefront.
You also need to take shots of multiple angles. This will help your customer see what your product looks like on every side. Therefore, they can replicate the experience as if they were witnessing the item on a physical level.
As much as possible, only use images you have exclusive rights to. Otherwise, make sure that you have proper rights. This will eradicate the need to resolve unnecessary copyright issues.
