What about Magento Extensions? It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Magento. It is one of the most powerful and versatile e-commerce platforms in the world which is constantly improving, innovating and evolving. Magento 2 comes with a wide variety of features and customizations out of the box which allows online store owners to create a complete and highly-functional online shopping experience.
However, as your online store grows, this may not be enough. You may want certain advanced front-end or backend features added to your shop that you believe will greatly improve shopping experience or increase your conversions.
While certain features may not come included with the base version of Magento 2, there’s a good chance that whatever you are looking for is out there in the form of extensions. These extensions can be obtained through the Magento Marketplace or directly through 3rd-party developers.
Magento has always been known for its huge library of extensions which can transform your online store into whatever you need it to be. In this article, we will cover a few of our favorite extensions from our friends at Aheadworks, an award-winning company recognized during the Magento Imagine conference as the best Magento extensions provider three years in a row in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Magento Extensions: Magento 2 Blog
In today’s e-commerce world, simply investing into display and PPC advertising isn’t enough. Your company, regardless of size, needs an online presence. Social media and content are the kings so it is more important than ever to offer your customers another reason to visit your store.
By implementing the Blog extension, you will add a much-needed content component to your store. You can write about your products, industry news or just general thoughts. Either way, posting regular content draws regular visitors who will be more inclined to purchase your goods once they feel a certain connection or relationship has been established.
The extension integrates seamlessly into your Magento 2 allowing easy content management and SEO optimization.
Magento Extensions Magento 2 Event Tickets
Engagement and return business is important so what is a better way to engage your customers rather than to have them participating in a sale or meet and greet?
The Event Tickets extension is a great way to help build hype, assist with developing brand loyalty and an overall great tool to help you manage events such as sales, meetups and giveaways. Create tickets and sell them online using this tool. Or create coupons for additional services as giveaways. Whatever your idea is to engage your customer base, this extension can go a long way in helping you set it all up.
The whole experience is easy to manage and completely streamlined to be flexible but powerful by offering a good amount of automation and several ways to redeem and manage tickets on the fly, both online and offline.

Magento Extensions: Refer a Friend for Magento 2
Another great way to create incentive and build relationships is to offer referral rewards to your shoppers. The Refer a Friend extension is a great way to offer unique discounts to a wider network of shoppers while enticing existing shoppers with discounts in exchange for referring their friends.
Of course, the actual plan of how you should pull this off is completely up to you. The extension simply allows you to create in-depth reward programs with advanced stat tracking to see what kind of impact your referral campaign is having on your online store.
Magento Extensions: Magento 2 Advanced Reports
Speaking of advanced stats, this extension is for all the analytic geeks out there who want to understand as much as they can about what is happening with their store and why.
This extension allows you to effectively monitor conversion rates by providing a whole area dedicated to information and statistics. You will have access to 12 reports to help you better understand how your shoppers interact with your products by showing things like conversion rates during certain times and periods and individual product stats.
Every element is visually displayed with great detail to help you understand the stats and use that knowledge to improve your store.
Magento Extensions: Magento 2 Follow Up Email
As mentioned earlier, customer engagement is essential to continued growth and success of an online store. This tool allows you to set up automated emails that will trigger based on activities you have specified and establish a friendly follow up with your user to re-engage them with your store.
These predefined emails allow you to target very specific scenarios and track the progress of your newly established communication. Trigger events include abandoned cart, change in order status, customer registration, or newsletter subscription. The extension is deep and allows you to get very creative with reaching your visitors.
Store owners can also perform split testing by comparing different versions of the same emails. The extension enables them to precisely set the main information, layout, header and footer templates of each particular email.
The extension analyzes the performance of individual emails and entire email campaigns so users can implement all necessary changes quickly.
