Top 3 Mistakes To Avoid In Web Presence
Most of the people online seek complicated secrets and
strategies to increase the sales from their website and email,
completely overlooking simple mistakes which can improve and
literally boost the response of their website and email at once.
The following three mistakes are the killers no 1 reliably
destroying proper response of any website and business
communication:
1. In websites- no links to sign up: this special mistake
doesn't seem to be so frequent as others but it's the same annoying.
I come to a site and after reading a couple of paragraphs I
decide to sign up. But what a surprise: I can't find any
signup link, only lots of links to more and more information.
After browsing several more pages I usually leave annoyed.
Tip: the easy solution is to put a signup link in every page
plus the link providing more information. This will prevent
useless subscriber loss.
2. In websites- huge intro movie: while I like an audio when
I come to a website quite a lot, I really, really dislike
movies. I usually listen to my music or audios when surfing
or digging on the Internet or while I am working, but a movie
is a real nuisance.
The biggest killers are the load and the length: it's minutes
and minutes of nothing, no information, no message just a movie
showing pictures with no relevance, spoiling the audio I listen
to and wasting my precious time.
Tip: if you want people to respond to the information you have
prepared for the visitors to your site, you must allow them
to enter your site quickly in the first place, and not to annoy
them with an intro movie.
3. In email- no reference to previous correspondence, no name:
this mistake is very frequent. Usually the sender is 'admin',
the email talks about a topic I have never heard of and can't
find any links or reference to any previous message.
Tip: when you set up your email box/alias, always set up your
basic information incl a name which will display in the 'from'
field. Plus add a signature and a link. If you respond or
continue a topic over several messages, always mention the
topic incl a link. Don't believe that yours is the only mail
people receive and everyone remembers what you were writing
about a couple of days/weeks ago.
Action: Take a couple of minutes, visit your site and try and
browse it, simply behave as if you are a visitor plus send
a copy of your own email to yourself. You will see it and
experience the annoyance.
The three little tips above are easy to implement and can
increase the response of your site and email at once.
