1. People struggle to buy online perfumes
People often find it difficult to buy scents online. We all know why. We aren’t too advanced yet that we smell perfumes via our gadgets. Â
In the case of stores, customers come to it, smell perfumes and buy the one they like! However, while buying online, it’s all a guessing game.
How to overcome?Â
The best way to overcome this is to add as much detail to the description of the scent as possible. The stores are able to place tester bottles on the counters which makes it easier to decide. The customers will get encouraged to try when they aren’t spending a lot.
2. Not everyone has access to the internet
A lot of people, even today, don’t have access to the internet such as older  people, low-income holders, and those who live in rural areas. This makes this type of customer more of a challenge.
How to overcome? More direct sales whether by calling and reaching out to customers without wi- fi will put you top of mind should they decide to buy fragrances from you.
Get your online store recognized more. Trying to collaborate with other big store brands and promoting your online brand there can also help.
3. Fear of online scams

 How to overcome?Â
For authentic brands, this problem isn’t a big one! There are a variety of ways to gain your customer’s trust even if they don’t buy from you. Having a separate area for feedback and reviews on the website is always a good idea. Similarly, giving the customers the facility of “first check, then pay”. Don’t know about it? It means that on the arrival of the product package, the customer first checks the product and then pays after checking the authenticity. Checking on line with the better business bureau or google maps/google my business on the legitimacy of any on line store is always a plus.
