There are a plethora of ways to attract visitors to your website by giving different incentives for online shoppers – special offers, free delivery, discount vouchers or competitions.

But which incentives and features of a web site help convert online sales the most? Once you’ve attracted your visitors and got them engaged, how can you ensure they stay and buy your products?

Over the years we have gained a wealth of experience and have tested various changes to websites to help improve conversion rates and reduce shopping cart abandonment. The online user experience is now more important than ever.

Here are a few  tips to helping convert your visitors to sales, improve user experience and reduce shopping cart abandonment.

If you are selling say childrens toys, ensure that your products show what age they are suitable for.

Having a picture image of the product they are buying through out the payment process can certainly help. We found that less users left our clients websites at the shopping cart stage if this was the case.

Ensure that you show all your costs at the shopping cart stage;delivery costs, VAT and any special discounts. If possible, show when the item will be delivered by stating the date, not just the delivery time. Provide express delivery as an option.

Show that your website is secure and the payment methods you accept. There is nothing worse than getting to the final payment page and realising that the website does not accept your credit card (eg. American Express). Paypal is now becoming a popular and secure way for people to pay – you could be turning away upto 15% of customers if you don’t cater for a paypal payment method.

Don’t use the words ‘Buy’ on your button to add items to the basket. Customers don’t want to commit at this stage so instead use ‘add’ or ‘add to basket’ as an alternative.

Another important factor is to show how many stages there are in the payment process, so users know where they are and how far they have got to go to complete their order.

If your ecommerce system allows, give the option for express checkout that only asks for limited information – the quickest route to payment is a good way of accelerating the customer process to completion.

One enhancement that proved to work was for an online toy shop and just by showing their telephone number on their home page helped retain customers and increase online sales especially during the christmas period when  a few customers preferred to call to verify that they would get their toys in time for christmas.

To improve trust and credibility, show feedback and customer ratings on product pages and/or the home page. This will aid the conversion of new customers who haven’t shopped with you previously.

And finally, if you are upselling products, don’t use pop up adverts;they are just annoying and mostly ineffective. If you are wanting to relay these types of messages, try using hover ads – they dont get blocked by pop up blockers and are less intrusive to the user.

You can’t tell a book by its cover but you can read it to find out. It’s the same with people. We need to go past the covers in order to learn the truth about them too. For a majority of us, we cross path with all sorts of different people all the time in our daily life and with the kind of crime rate that is seen in the country these days, we can’t afford not to take precautions. Fortunately for us, we can do that quite easily.

Many things about us are put into records. The United States have the most comprehensive system of Public Records in place. They are precious as gold if you know how to put them to good use and are accessible free of charge by anyone too as long as procedures are followed. There are various categories of free public records and Police Records in particular is very handy in finding out the truth about people.

Free Police Records come under state jurisdiction. They are therefore governed by the respective state laws. Hence, variations exist from state to state in regard to their access and the treatment and permissible use of the information derived from them. Generally, their accessibility is quite liberal with exception when it’s deemed to be against public interests such as when it concerns security, social stability or juveniles.

Being public records, Free Arrest Records are obtainable from government agencies responsible for the function including police departments and even the FBI. They can be requested by mail, telephone, fax, or in person. Online option over the internet is also increasingly available nowadays and is proving to be a very popular mode of retrieval. Although Free Arrest Records are technically free-of-charge, an administrative fee is sometimes charged but the amount is usually nominal.

With computerization and the advent of the internet, retrieving Public Police Records online from public offices is essentially a breeze these days. If the formality and waiting time with government departments are still too bothersome, there’s the paid version from commercial record providers to turn to. If it’s done online, the searched records are usually ready for download in a matter of minutes. They’re not free but the reputable ones are good value for money, so, why not?

Dyslexia is a neurological condition that keeps the signals sent by the eyes from being clearly interpreted by the brain. As a result, dyslexics (people with dyslexia) see things differently. Dyslexics need special training to be able to interpret what they see in the same ways as non-dyslexics would.

Often the first indication of dyslexia shows up as problems with reading. To read one must see the letters of words clearly and then interpret these letters into words and the words into sounds things or actions. Various types of dyslexia can complicate this process of perception and translation

The origin of the term “dyslexia” is found in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to dictionaries, reading, word orders.

Approximately 1 person in every 10 has some type of dyslexia, to some degree.

There are symptoms of dyslexia that one can look for, such as difficulty with reading for understanding, or with reading aloud. But there is really only one way to know for sure whether a person has dyslexia or not and to what degree.

In the last year, in a new development, an excellent accredited dyslexia test has become available online.

There is a home dyslexia test that can now be taken in the comfort and privacy of your own home or from anywhere you can get a connection to the Internet.

The entire test takes a little over half an hour. Also, it’s very economical; costs less than a visit to your Doctor!

One of the simplest and most overlooked aspects of online marketing is that it’s not complicated. More precisely, there are many “gurus” who try to make it complicated. Aside from whatever motivation they might have to do that online profits occur from one simple equation –

Traffic + Conversion = Sales

– performed over & over again

There are MANY ways to get traffic (visitors) to your site and cause them to take some action or “convert,” which will either result in more leads or (less frequently) result directly in more sales to your business.

So here’s the other simple rule — you only need to master 1 or 2 traffic methods and 1 or 2 conversion methods, and you will make money. You don’t need to master the entire kitchen to make a grilled cheese sandwich, and you don’t need to know EVERYTHING about internet marketing in order to add revenue to your business.

With that in mind, there are a few basic traffic techniques I’ve implemented in some of my sites and client sites that have universally and consistently WORKED. Here are a few of those methods — but remember, you only need to pick one or two:

Traffic Generation

1) Twitter is a highly effective means of targeting your niche and developing the conversation with your customers and prospects. In fact, it is second to none. However, most businesses don’t know how to use Twitter effectively. They spam with “sales tweets” — “Look at the cool new thing I’m selling.” The 80/20 rule is highly effective — 80% of your tweets should be about something interesting, funny or otherwise engaging… a question of the day like “What’s for lunch?”… anything to get people talking, laughing, thinking… Also, keep it consistent and be generous with re-tweets. A few tweets a day go a long way toward establishing a rabid list of followers. The wrong thing to do is to Tweet like a madman for a day or two and then disappear for a month. Or worse, don’t reply when someone direct messages you or @messages you. That’s like ignoring someone at a dinner party when they ask you to pass the gravy. You WON’T get any dessert.

2) Video marketing — one of the fastest ways to rank your site and get lots of inbound traffic. Keep your videos consistent — don’t show up one day in a baseball cap and dark lighting, talking about the rain, and another day bouncing in a jungle gym screaming about business leads. Consistent message, consistent tone, consistent look & feel. Also, be sure to put a call to action in your video’s description, as well as the full URL of your website’s landing page, and use appropriate keywords.

3) Article marketing is an evergreen method for outstanding traffic generation, with one HUGE caveat — mix it up! Putting the same article on 400 article directories will get you nowhere fast. You will get a bump in traffic from all the inbound links until Google figures out they’re all the same article and basically count it as one link. There are content spinners out there that alter the content of your articles automatically, but you have to be very careful here as well. Most content spinners change a word or two to replace it with a synonym, or they mash up the article randomly so the output is basically junk that cannot be read. It has to pass human review. So if you’re looking for a quality content spinner, ideally you want to be able to change the entire sentence many times throughout the article, and then have it spin those into hundreds of different articles. That’s the professional way to do it. At the bottom of your article, have a call to action in the information field; a blurb about you (the author) and a link to a free guide the reader can pick up at your website.

Visitors Taking Action

1) Keep it simple. The landing page has to do ONE thing — get people to ACT. For this reason, it’s been called a SINGLE ACTION PAGE. Pear it down to the bare essence of what you need the visitor to do. Consider placing a video on the page with a very simple message, “Hey thanks for stopping by for my free whizbang. Just type in your first name and e-mail address and I will rush it right over to you. In just a moment after you send your information, you’ll get an e-mail with a confirmation link. Click that link and I will instantly send your free whizbang.”

2) Direct, direct, direct. Notice the video script in #1 above — see how we instructed the user on exactly what they need to do? And then we told them what to expect next, and what they would then need to do. And we closed with a reminder of the benefit — the free whizbang.

If you have trademarked the term “whizbang,” then I apologize in advance.

3) Test, test, test. ALWAYS have two versions of your landing page operating at one time. You can optimize your landing page using freely available Google tools in the Web Optimizer toolbox. You really can’t go on “gut” here — the data will be you every single time. Even on PPC ads, we have literally seen the addition of a question mark in the ad increase conversion by 16.8% So test, test, test.

Conclusion

These methods work on any business in any industry. Here is some social proof –

Local landscape designer increased her traffic by 7,342% (yes seven thousand percent)

 

• Local artist went from three visitors a day to an average of 41 visitors a day

 

• International digital publisher had zero e-commerce and started converting 16% of all traffic to revenue within 72 hours of implementing one traffic strategy and one conversion strategy

 

• Changing a landing page to a simple design on an e-book site turned conversion from an anemic two sales per week to eight sales a day — on the same traffic.

 

I hope this helps your business. The average business fails to do what it takes to drive traffic or achieve conversions to their website. While they exercise 20-30 traffic methods on average, they don’t do a single one effectively.  There are many sources online to learn about effective marketing strategies, including free resources and some almost-free, like the definitive guidebook  750 Ways to Get a Visitor to Click on You.

Do-it-for-you solutions are also available; experience guides the appropriate strategy for the website and market. The biggest challenge business owners face is knowing which strategy to implement. Experimentation can be very costly in terms of time and lost sales… The key is to find a reputable marketing firm that offers a full range of customized services as well as downloadable products and courses to assist every website owner at every budget level.

No matter how much we make per month, cash is, and will always be an issue. Our only option at this point, traditionally, was to pledge one of our investments against a loan. This too is not an easy process, what with the many credit and background checks involved. Or we may settle with asking a friend for a loan. This can be quite an embarrassing thing for many however, as nowadays asking for money is looked down as an admission of not organizing your finances properly. In order to cope with shortages of cash in emergency situations and keep your dignity, financial institutions have specially designed short term loans called quick cash loans. 

Quick low cost loans are the kind of loans that can be applied for when you are in a sudden need of money. The loaned amount on quick cash loans are typically received within a day. These loans are specially intended to help you pay off the emergency bills or unexpected payments that cropped up. To apply for a quick cash loan, you have to be a citizen of the country and be a minimum age of 18. Being able to pay back the loan through a stable job is a definite plus. Unlike traditional cash loans, quick cash loans do not require any collateral to be pledged against the loan. Such loans do not see the difference between good credit and bed credit backgrounds. The rules are the same for all. The only concern in applying for these loans are the extra high interest rates involved. 

Many companies deal with quick cash loans, be it online or otherwise. It is important that you carefully compare interest rates between companies and get the best quote, especially since quick cash loans have very high interest rates. Knowing exactly how much you will be expected to repay, including fees such as loan fees and penalty fees, will mean you know exactly what you are getting into before you apply for the loan. Furthermore, carefully scrutinize the penalty clause of these loans since financial companies usually charge high penalty fees in the case of nonpayment of loans. Finally do a thorough check on the companies that offer quick cash loans to make sure you know you are getting it from a company you can trust.
