How Design Can Impact Conversion

The design of your website can mean the difference in converting a new customer versus losing a potential customer. Building a strong design foundation should be the first priority. You should be designing with user experience in mind. How do potential customers flow through your website? Is it easy for them to locate the information they are seeking? If you aren’t using basic design principles, you run the risk of losing potential customers because of your website design.

Design Principles Convert

Using basic design principles increases conversion rates and customer engagement. Visual hierarchy is one of the key components of design, the flow should convert clients with ease. Visual hierarchy includes calling attention to important elements with color, size, shape, etc. With this flow, customer engagement increases because the design leads users to the end product.

Make Users Happy

Design is an integral part of any highly functional website. If your website is a trap that sends potential customers in circles, they will become frustrated and leave. You only get one chance to make a first impression, don’t frustrate your site visitors with bad design!

What Does Your Brand Say?

The definition of a “brand” doesn’t begin to scrape the surface of what branding means when building and/or growing a business.

brand/
verb
1. A mark made by burning with a hot iron to attest manufacture or quality or to designate ownership.

Technically, just a company logo would meet the defined term of “brand.” While the logo is necessary, it’s important to understand that your logo is just one piece of a larger brand strategy.

Of course, there’s a correlational relationship between your logo and your “brand,” but I’m asking you to think bigger. Think about your BRAND STRATEGY. Think about your identity in the marketplace. Think about your positioning.

Your brand is the promise you make to customers. Your brand is a value statement. Your brand is a way of life. Afterall, 64% of people cite shared values as the main reason they have a relationship with a brand.

GUT CHECK:

  • Does your website convey who you actually are or who you want to be?
  • Does your brand invoke feelings of happiness and loyalty?
  • Are your customers having experiences that they can’t wait to tell their friends about?
  • Does your brand make people smile?
  • How do your potential customers perceive you?

Why It Feels Like The Internet Is Stalking You

It’s just a normal Friday morning shopping for shoes on Zappos. You like the shoes, you really do, but you’re being budget-conscious. So, you close that window. You’re proud of yourself because you showed some restraint. Well done! Fast forward to 4:47 p.m., and your work day is almost over. You find yourself wondering what the weather is going to be like over the weekend. You hop over to the Weather Channel’s website, and there it is. Like BAM! It just hits you in the face—an ad for the shoes you salivated over a mere six hours earlier. You click on the ad (because who can’t at this point) and find out that you can get a 20% discount if you buy the shoes now. You buy them because you may never get a deal THIS good again. So, how does this happen?

It’s a fancy little trick that we digital marketers call retargeting. In reality, it isn’t actually fancy at all and is something that you can and should be doing for your business.

THE STANDARD DEFINITION

“Every time a new visitor comes to your site, the code drops an anonymous browser cookie. Later, when your cookied visitors browse the Web, the cookie will let your retargeting provider know when to serve ads, ensuring that your ads are served to only to people who have previously visited your site” (Retargeter.com).

WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS

Now, let’s back away from the technical talk! Basically, this functionality allows you to continue marketing to potential customers long after they’ve visited your website. The functionality is so sophisticated, it allows you to place specific products in front of the right people when they are visiting other websites.

WHY WE LOVE RETARGETING

In marketing, we talk about impressions a lot! They’re important. Without going total marketing nerd on you—an impression is the number of times your message has the opportunity to be seen by a potential buyer. Impressions are inherently more valuable when they are served to an audience who has already expressed an interest in your product.

Have we piqued your interest? For more information or to schedule a consultation, please call us today at (866) 611-6267 or submit our contact request form.

How To Leverage Email Marketing To Increase Customer Retention

Whether yours is a product or service oriented brand, customer retention is essential. When executed properly, email marketing can be a very effective tool for making customers want more of what you’re selling. Here are a few ways this can be accomplished.

Promotions & Incentives

Promotions and incentives through email marketing are a great way to get customers back in the door. The hard part is often getting your customers to subscribe to your emails in the first place, so offer an incentive to encourage customers to sign up. Then, send out promotions at a reasonable frequency to reward your customers for subscribing, but avoid offering the same promotion too often. This will lessen the promotion’s perceived value, and customers will be less inclined to take advantage of it.

Announce New Products or Services

Does your company release new products or services occasionally? Make sure to incorporate new product and service announcements into your emails, and consider including an incentive to encourage customers to try out your new offerings.

Loyalty Program

Consider incorporating a loyalty program into your email marketing strategy, or leverage your email marketing to promote an existing loyalty program. You can offer exclusive email promotions to loyalty program members, and award points for purchases associated with these promotions.

Provide Value & Expertise

Share your expertise and provide your email subscribers with not only promotions and incentives, but valuable information. For example, a chiropractor’s office might send out tips to their patients on how to maintain better posture while at work. This is information that is free and helpful to chiropractic patients. Receiving expert advice is just as rewarding as getting a promotion or discount. It shows that you understand and care about your customers’ needs, which in turn makes them appreciative and loyal.

Segment Your Email Subscriber Lists

Not everyone is going to be in the same phase of the sales cycle, and sending out a promotion to entice a customer to save 25% on something they bought last week isn’t going to settle well with them.

There are three main categories to divide your subscriber lists into: prospective customers, existing customers, and loyal customers.

1. Prospective customers should receive emails that encourage them to take the first step to buying your product or service.

2. Existing customers have already experienced your product or service, so emails appropriate for this segment should entice them to buy again, and join your loyalty program if you have one.

3. Loyal customers should be rewarded for being loyal. Send emails thanking them for being such great customers, and provide this group with special incentives tailored to their specific interests that no one else receives.

To learn more about executing a successful email marketing strategy, please call us today at (866) 611-6267 or request a consultation.

Go Mobile or Become Irrelevant in Google Mobile Search

Google’s Announcement

In February, Google announced that beginning April 21, they will expand their use of mobile-usability as a ranking signal, and that this algorithm update will have a significant impact on Google Search results. Google is providing what is essentially a deadline to encourage those who haven’t already adapted their websites to mobile to begin making this transition. Even prior to this announcement, Google’s intentions were clear as it made a strong push to encourage website owners to make their web properties mobile-friendly. This included adding “mobile-friendly” labels to their mobile search results, and providing mobile-usability warnings in Google Webmaster Tools.

Mobile-Friendly Websites Will Become the Norm

Up until now, having a mobile-friendly website has been a competitive advantage for most organizations. However, with this announcement, mobile-friendly websites will quickly become the norm as organizations scramble to remain relevant in mobile search. Moving forward, those organizations that provide visitors with the best mobile-experience will have the competitive advantage.

Responsive Design is Still Google’s Preferred Mobile Solution

One thing that remains constant is that Google still recommends responsive design as its preferred mobile solution. Google believes responsive web design provides a better user-experience because it’s less prone to errors than dedicated mobile sites, and we at Leverage Digital tend to agree with this sentiment. We have encouraged our clients to begin making the transition to responsive design since 2013, and those that heeded our advice, will likely benefit from Google’s upcoming algorithm update.

If you’re still on the fence about making the switch to mobile, now is the time to do it, if SEO is a strategic priority. Failure to adapt your website to mobile may result in a significant decline in mobile search rankings and mobile traffic once the algorithm update goes into effect.
