Online Marketing Course: How To Increase Sales Conversions
Today’s Online Marketing Course Is: How To Increase Sales Conversions.
So you’re getting traffic but for some reason you are not getting sales. Conversion is the process of getting your traffic to click through and buy. What changes do you need to make to improve your own conversion?
The very first problem may be that visitors can not find where to make the order. Four things must be very clear on the front loading page of your website. What you are selling, why your visitor would want it, where to buy it, and how much it will cost. If the visitor has to guess on the last two things especially, they will leave your site. Simply put, it’s frustrating to enter a site and not be able to find the order page or the pricing for your products or services. Make these things very clear and provide more than one avenue to the order page, and sales will increase! If you are unsure, have a few friends that have not seen your site visit it. Ask them to give you an honest evaluation of the site. Have them tell you how quickly they could find your order page and what the prices were for your products/services.
If visitors can not contact you through at least two methods, they will be hesitant to order. Potential customers look for this on a website. Be sure that your emails are listed on every page of your site. Additionally make sure your support and contact page are very easy to find. Consider adding a “live help” feature. It’s easy to do from the Cpanel of your hosting. “Live help does not mean that you have to be available 24/7. It just means that you have to be available for a few hours a day. This feature alone gives buyers a tremendous sense of security.
Be sure to offer several options for payment. Include Paypal if at all possible. You can also elect to take credit cards through a merchant gateway, but many want to use their own Paypal account so that they don’t have to give their credit card number out again and again. On the other hand, there are consumers that hate Paypal, so you need another option. Although if you have to select one over the other, select Paypal. It’s popular for the majority.
Be sure that your customers know that when they check out that their transactions are secure. In this day and age, safety is a huge concern, so reassure your customers that they are safe.
