Creating A Website That Sells - How To Keep And Convert Viewers
|
|
Designing a good sales website can be the difference between losing a visitor and making a sale. You’ve got ten seconds to capture a viewer’s attention and convince them to stay—that’s how long it takes people to decide to keep reading, or move on.
Make Your Site User-Friendly
You need to plan your website carefully to make it really sell your product:
• Have an attention-grabbing headline that tells viewers what they’ll gain by staying. It should list some clear, compelling benefits—what they’ll learn and what kind of information you’ll provide.
• Keep your website clean and simple. It should be easy on the eyes, with no more than a couple of key colors and a couple of easy-to-read fonts. Font should be very dark and contrast strongly with a lighter background. Avoid using patterns and limit your use of graphics.
• Use more sales copy and fewer images. Derek Gehl, of http://MarketingTips.com, says, “Images should be used strategically to support the sales copy, not vice versa.”
• Make your navigation easy. It should run across the top of your page or down the left side. The fewer clicks it takes to purchase your product, the better, because every time you ask visitors to click, you lose some.
• Make your sales process quick and painless. Don’t use hidden links. If you want people to buy from you, you have to make it obvious how.
Develop Your Customers’ Trust
Your website has to convey credibility and professionalism—people won’t buy from you if they don’t trust you. There are two main ways you can build your customers confidence in you:
1. Share your qualifications: how you got here and why you’re able to help them. Don’t just bullet-point your credentials—talk to them. Relate your experiences and explain how this product has helped you—let them see there’s a real person behind the site.
2. Use testimonials from people who’ve actually used your products. Video, audio, and written testimonials accompanied with customer pictures are proven tools for creating credibility with consumers. Recommends Gehl, “Make sure your testimonials have actual, measurable results people achieved using your product.”
Create Customer Loyalty
Sharing relevant, interesting information can be a tremendous point of sale. Tell your customers what your product is, where it originated, and innovative ways they can use it. If you sell camping gear, post articles about great destinations for camping, or tips for staying safe in the woods. Give people a reason to come back to your site—there’s a good chance that, while they’re there, they’ll buy something. By educating your customers, you create a sense of loyalty that will make them want to buy from you rather than your competitors.

Curtains Can Decorate Either Your Window Or Your View
Curtains are materials that are hung over a window for decoration and other purposes. The main purposes are to provide privacy, block sunlight and decoration.
Cultivating Obedience In Your Dogs
They are man's "best friend", but like your real friends, dogs also have annoying habits that you normally despise. But because you love them, you suffer for it until you can't take anymore. Just as we all try to talk to our human friends about their bad habits, it is also vital that we do the same for our pets. This is not impossible since dogs are proven to be intelligent animals. Experience also proves that they can pick up and understand instructions with proper training. In fact, training your human friends to ditch their bad habits is harder than training your pets.
Cross Selling Software For Higher Sales
Cross selling can be used as an effective tool of getting additional revenue from clients, offering them similar or complementary products. Studies show it costs four times more to gain a new customer than it does to keep an old one.
