The conversion rate measures the relationship between the people who performed the action expected of them, as part of a marketing campaign and the total number of individuals reached by this campaign.
In other words, it measures the effectiveness of a campaign. Thus, to calculate it, simply divide the number of people who performed the expected action, by the number of visitors to whom the message was passed, then multiply the result by one hundred.
For example, you emailed 500 people to download a free little cookbook against their contact information. 30 people sent their details and downloaded the document. So, the conversion rate for this campaign will be: 30/500*100=6%.

It is therefore necessary to verify certain fundamental elements. The first element to check is the French used, which must be impeccable at the risk of scaring away customers, both in terms of spelling and the tone of voice used.
Also, do not forget the mandatory legal notices that certify your good faith. It is essential for you to establish a climate of trust between you, your prospects and your customers.
To do this, often integrate trust badges into your sales tunnel, especially when they have to enter their credit card (which display the advantages and guarantees that you offer) and reviews on Shopify (invite them to leave a comment for an order carried out).
Also, a short, simple and precise domain name can give more confidence to users, and also make sure you have a valid SSL certificate.
