Copy writing to create a 'direct' response
'Copy' means the words on a page. To increase sales and conversion it's essential to have:
Very compelling headlines - specially written and tested.
Clearly defined benefits directed right at for your target audience.
Credibility features like audio or video testimonials can be added.
A very definite offer.
A sense of urgency so that visitors feel compelled to act right now.
Finally, good copy will give your visitors a specific call to action and suggests a way for them to respond.
Conversion Architecture
This is a fancy way of saying that your site has been designed so that visitors are led step by step through a sales process, no matter what they click on. A solid conversion architecture builds desire and urgency with each click, and culminates in the close of a sale. Effective conversion architecture identifies precisely where your site's visitors are 'falling out' of the online sales process and then fixes that leak - so that you are continually getting the highest rate of conversion possible for each and every visitor to your website.
Essential Marketing Concepts Built In
A good front end, a rich and diverse back end, list building, a consistent continuity program, your compelling story and vision, gathering target marketing information, creating adjacency revenue streams, techniques that compel and increase visitor interactivity, targeting special offers to segments and niche's, brand creation and extension and utilizing your USP are just a few of the principles I build in to every marketing based web site I design.
Opt in's and Auto-responders
Building your own list of people who have chosen to receive information from you is sometimes called 'Permission Based Marketing. This involves setting up compelling reasons for people to opt in, and then delivering quality content that makes compelling offers and delivers value to your target audience.
Testing and Stats
Using split testing and knowing and using your stats to make important decisions - will put your site and your online marketing on a whole new level. Most web site designers and creators don't know how to use stats and testing effectively and so don't do it.
Increased Traffic
Increasing targeted traffic to your web site can be created by features like opt in's, joint venturing for lists and advertising, affiliate systems, formal referral systems, online and offline advertising, blogs, articles, and SEO features including pay per click and organically optimized web pages.
Bottom Line: Traffic + Conversion = Profit
The heart of any internet marketing web site design and implementation is to increase traffic and conversion. That's what it's all about. Traffic And Conversion are the twin goals of an internet marketing design.
