2- Virtual reality and try-out option:

This option is in trend now. Everyone is trying to have this option on their website. The virtual reality here means to let the users on your site, interact with the products or services you are offering. For instance, gaming companies are offering playable ads to let the people play the demo of their games and hence, turning them into their users. Similarly, various companies, like Lenskart also offers virtual reality and try-out option to let their users try their product before buying. So if your site is related to any kind of niche on which this option is applicable, then you can go for this option as well.

  

3- Progressive web Applications:

As mobile users are increasing, therefore the consumption of mobile applications is also increasing. Progressive applications are similar to the normal mobile applications that use web pages to give the user a mobile application experience rather than that boring simple site browsing. Various websites like form filling websites, registration websites, etc. use this trend in order to gain massive traffic from Progressive web applications.

4- Voice search option:

 It is the must-have option that you have to include in your site. The majority of phone users are illiterate and can’t type manually whatever they are looking for. Therefore, your site must also have this option to let the users easily search within your website. Apart from illiterate users, various other users also prefer to use this voice search option in order to save their time. So if your site doesn’t support this voice search option then it must!

5- Push Notification: 

Have you ever seen the pop-up while visiting a website that asks you “This site wants to send notifications”, and either you can allow or simply decline it. And about 30% to 40% of users allow it and thus also allowing you to push notification on their device, which also brings good traffic. With this option, you can push the notifications of your latest product or service, resulting in some number of clicks. Remember, sending too many notifications can also be irritating to your users and hence can down your statistics So choose this trend wisely.

6- Chatbots and Machine Learning:

It is not necessary that every user, visiting on your site has no doubts about your product or service you are offering. Therefore, they need Customer support, so that they can clarify their doubts and choose your products or services more easily. Therefore, for this problem, many companies hired some people to give 24*7 customer service to their visitors, whereas most of the companies use the latest Chatbots and Machine learning as their customer support. They already program their chatbots with the common questions and answers, that users usually ask, in order to provide their customers an instant answer to their questions. So it is much efficient to use Chatbots instead of hiring some people! 

7- Crystal Clear Images and Videos:

Images and videos are the main weapons to attract customers on the website. It gives the first impression of your website to the visitor even without exploring it properly. Most of the websites don’t have clear images on their website and as a result, the user becomes more unlikely to visit the site. Apart from images, if your site has a long written article in a short, old text then your visitor will be less likely to read that article. Now, consider including a summarized video, which explains that long written articles in a few minutes will get more visitors. So include high-resolution images and videos on your site to attract more customers!
