"Increasing the conversion rates from your advertising and your site is the surest way to increase the business’s profits. The question is, where to begin, and how?"
Your online business relies on customers visiting your website, enjoying what they see, and making a purchase. Whether attempting to handle your own internet advertising or using an affiliate program in order to boost views, it is imperative to not only receive high traffic to your site, but for that traffic to be good traffic (buyers) and not just window shopping, looky-loos. Increasing the conversion rates from your advertising and your site is the surest way to increase the business’s profits. The question is, where to begin, and how?
Before you even attempt to get your advertising program off the ground, it is best to do your research. Researching the Web in order to, in essence, profile your would-be customers is paramount. It is necessary to find out where those who would most likely be interested in your product or service congregate or hang out online. Most of this “profiling” calls for the use of common sense and tapping into shared experiences. Undoubtedly, before you arrived at your “aha moment”, the moment when you realized the call and engineered your innovative design, breakthrough product, or never before offered service, there were places that your interests took you – forums, chat rooms, or the like, in which you talked or read with others that shared your interests. Like minds, think alike, and occupy the same web space, often enough. It is in these areas that you should start your online advertising campaign. It would be a great idea to contact site managers and moderators, inquiring what the cost would be (weekly, monthly, yearly) to place an advertisement for your product or service in the margins of the page. Following their guidelines for appropriate advertisement placement, having your product advertised in an area like this, where the viewership is most likely to have an interest, could provide an exponentially effective boon to your business. Accurately researching your wanted viewership in order to effectively target them with your advertising efforts will undoubtedly be rewarded with higher conversions of viewers into full-fledged customers. Instead of wasting your advertisements, posting them willy-nilly across the Net in areas where they simply fall upon deaf ears (read blind eyes), you will be more sure that they are reaching persons of interest, that are interested in you and what you have to offer/say. Conversion rates will surely increase and mean more money in your pocket and more money into your business!
