One Thing You Must Know About Your Customers

13124988_1066947143346774_8027376473326916491_n

If you’re like most successful business owners, you probably have access to plenty of demographic data about your customers that can help you sell more products and services, and much of it is useful. But when it comes to structuring your website and landing pages, there is one thing you absolutely must know: how long buyers take to make a decision.

Specifically, you need to know whether the product or service you sell is a low-involvement purchase (like an inexpensive dinner) or a high-involvement purchase (like an automobile or home). That might seem like a minor detail, but it affects many different aspects of your layout, content, and conversion goals. For instance:

If customers take a while to decide, you need to sell your prospects in steps. For these types of purchases, you should offer information, advice, and subscriptions that pull prospects along while they learn more and make up their minds. It takes prospects time to make a purchasing decision because they feel like they have a lot to lose if they make the wrong choice. For these purchasers, trying to make instant conversions on your website is a losing strategy.

If customers decide quickly, you can be aggressive. For these types of purchases, it makes sense to be aggressive because prospects don’t feel like they have a lot to lose, so they’re more willing to make snap decisions and impulse purchases. For these purchasers, using “buy now” buttons or similar calls to action have a high probability of working.

Without the right context, it’s difficult to know what kind of approach you should take to convert website visitors into leads and customers. So, before you map out your online strategy, make sure you understand the buying process from their end.

Your Website Is an Investment, Not an Expense

February_Blog1 v2When we first launched Brew City Marketing, we were surprised by how often we heard business owners explain that they understood that having a website was just another “cost of doing business.”

As web designers who live and breathe internet marketing, we couldn’t understand how these successful entrepreneurs didn’t see their business websites for what they were: investments, not expenses. How could these otherwise smart, business-savvy folks not see all of the bottom-line boosting benefits that having a good website would bring? We just couldn’t get it!

And then, it dawned on us: Maybe the problem wasn’t that these business owners didn’t understand how their websites could help their businesses grow. They could see the possibilities, no problem. Maybe it was just that they didn’t have line of sight to the metrics-based proof they needed to know that investing in a new website would be worth it.

With that in mind, we started looking for real numbers to prove what we already knew: Investing in a good website typically translates into a solid return on investment. Not only did the data we found back up our story, they told it even better than we could have.

Just look at some of the numbers we found:

These aren’t just fuzzy, “feel good” benefits. These are real, revenue-affecting numbers that can make the difference between making a profit and going broke. And these numbers don’t even capture all of the intangible, soft benefits that having a good website can produce, such as increasing customer satisfaction, increasing brand awareness, and providing a 24/7 storefront that’s always available to your customers.

Regardless of what business you’re in, whether you sell to businesses or directly to consumers, having a good website that serves as an informational marketing hub for your business is just good business. It can help you find new leads, nurture the leads you already have, and keep in contact with those you’ve already serviced.

Add Mobile Payments to Your Website

Add Mobile Payments to Your WebsiteAccording to this Business Insider article, in the first quarter of 2014 alone, 198 million U.S. consumers bought something online. A few years ago, those numbers might have seemed like hype, but now we know: online shopping is big business. Whether it’s for goods, services or something else, folks are ready and willing to use the internet to get their shopping done, and they’re doing it every day.

What does that mean for local businesses? Well, as more consumers get comfortable using mobile devices to pay for goods and services online, it’s vital that any business website that sells goods or services have some sort of e-commerce component to accept payments online. Could Amazon, EBay or Etsy have become the household names they now are without easy-to-use online payment functionality? No way. And that’s why small businesses hoping to grow their businesses online need to prioritize online payment options.

And online payments aren’t just for the big boys. Small, local businesses should seriously consider integrating online payment systems as well. Whether you own a pizza parlor or a pet sitting business, more and more of your customers are going to want to be able to pay with their phones.

If you’re considering adding a payment option to your website, speak to one of our mobile payment specialists today by calling 414-208-0700 or filling out our contact form.

Waukesha Web Design – Brew City Marketing

The need for each company to have their own custom designed website has grown exponentially over the past decade. Brew City Marketing knows exactly the sort of eye-catching, mobile responsive web design Waukesha consumers’ favor. We know what elements a website needs to convert potential customers into loyal patrons, and we also understand that poor web design can not only drive potential clients away – it can have an extremely negative affect on your credibility.

Think of your website as a virtual storefront on a popular street corner. Every day, thousands of people walk past your store, but you literally have only seconds to earn their interest. An experienced business owner knows that the front of their shop is where customers create their first impression of the company. Thus, the storefront should be not only spotless and orderly, but also friendly and welcoming. On the other hand, an disheveled and disorderly store is likely to drive potential customers away and earn the company a less-than-favorable reputation. Waukesha Web Design Company, Brew City Marketing has the skills and experience to create compelling web design Waukesha companies need.

From the moment the customer lands on your page, your call to action should be clear. This is why simple and clear-cut web design generates more leads than jumbled or old-fashioned layouts.

Combined with search engine optimization, social media and other internet marketing techniques, our web design can easily boost your web traffic and grow your customer base. Contact us for a FREE web design consultation, and begin exceeding your sales goals today.
