You have created your own business website. All the necessary information is provided. You have given out your contact information and emails to other people. So, why aren’t you making any sales?
Creating a website for your business is just the starting line of your race to the finish line to business success. No matter how long you are at the start, you won’t make it to the finish line if you won’t take your first step. That’s also true in business. No matter how long you have created your website, it won’t matter if you haven’t gotten any sales. Attracting visitors, then turning them into potential customers is how you can make sales in your business. So, if you can’t attract customers to your site then your business won’t make any sales. This is much easier said than done. A lot of time, effort, and understanding of a few principles are needed to attract customers to come to your business rather than other business competitors.
To make it easier, here are ways to attract your customer to your business website:
First, have an attractive website. You can’t attract a customer if your business website is plain, boring, and isn’t pleasing to the eye. Make a website that is simple yet catches the attention of potential customers to make them wanting for more. You can use pictures or videos that can help sell your products and give out information to potential customers.
Second, have a blog. Blogging is an example of social media marketing that can be a great way of giving out information and building rapport with other people. They can provide opportunities for an interested customer to comment or find information about your product. By communicating and commenting with other people, you can build a strong relationship with your potential customers.
Third, content marketing. If you want to have attracted visitors and turn them into potential customers, content marketing is the way to go. It is a tried-and-true principle in succeeding on the Internet. You can get many results in search engine searches, allowing your website to be viewed by new customers. Having great content allows users to be more engaged and people will want to share their opinions with others. If you’re lucky and your content marketing becomes viral, your number of potential customers will skyrocket.
Fourth, create social media accounts for your business. According to a study, about 80% of people on Instagram follow at least one business. People followed more brands than famous celebrities. Social media marketing is the fastest way to get exposure for your business because almost half of the world’s population has social media accounts. But, don’t expect an overnight increase in your sales. It may take a long time to build an account that is worthwhile. You can ask for opinions to further improve your products and exchange conversation with consumers to build a great image towards your customers.
Fifth, is giving out free offerings to customers. According to research, customers who receive something for free are always more willing to buy something from you than to customers who didn’t receive anything. This is what you call the reciprocity principle, wherein consumers are more obligated to buy from you after receiving something pro bono. That’s the reason why you see all those free tastings of products in supermarkets. When in terms of online freebies, you can offer free samples or even free shipping of your product. Marketing a website and social media can be used for offering freebies and competitions. Here are good examples of competition in social media marketing, contests like most liked posts or pictures with the products, most liked quotes, or even promotion videos. Just make sure that your prize is related to your brand.
There are many other ways of attracting customers, but these are the basic ones that can help you start attracting more customers to get your sales going up. Don’t focus on one way. Mix up your strategies to get more chances of succeeding. So, get going on your first step to help you advance to your finish line to business success.
