One vital key to a successful Internet marketer’s campaign is getting a high conversion rate. The conversion rate is the bottom line on a campaign.
If the conversion rate is high enough, the campaign is considered successful and the marketer profits. If the conversion rate is not up to par, then the campaign will likely be pulled in time, unless of course, the conversion rates improve.
Is There A Quick Fix to Raise Conversion Rates?
A lot of times the answer to this question is a resounding yes! Sometimes even changing a few words or images on a landing page could improve conversion rates.
Sometimes, a few more conversions per visitors is all you need to post a profit on a campaign; and a lot of the time, a few more sales are only a simple tweak to your landing page away.
Let’s not kid ourselves though; in order for us to achieve high conversions in the first place, we have to attract visitors to our website. Without that, we are basically lost in the dark. So if you are not getting sufficient eyeballs browsing your website, I recommend you get that fixed first before moving on with this article.
If you are getting the visits but your conversions are suffering, then the tips in this article could help.
Get Inside The Consumer’s Brain
The quickest way to raise your conversion rates is by completing an analysis on your website in relation to your niche and ad copy.
Are you advertising something on your ad copy that your landing page is not delivering on? If so, that could be your problem right there.
Try to think as your consumer would. Make sure that the landing page satisfies all of the needs a targeted prospect would have.
Make sure that if you are selling a product, you provide adequate information about said product, as well as reviews and any other essential information you feel would be needed by a potential client in order to make a decision to buy.
If you can successfully get inside the mind of your target client-base, you will significantly raise conversion rates by creating a more appealing product and landing page.
Email Marketing Conversions
If you are trying to capture leads via email, the most important thing you can remember is to make your point immediately. You do this in order to capture the reader’s attention immediately and have him or her engaged right from the start.
To do this of course, your initial point must be of value to the reader. Make sure you hit them with your best-shot right from the start.
Let them know what you are offering and how it can be helpful to them. Avoid the fluff and long introductions, while keeping it friendly and to the point.
Be sure to also make your subject line and your first few lines flow with each other. You have to be able to deliver your idea in the subject line, enough to captivate someone to open the email, and then you should use the first few lines to elaborate and get them interested enough to click through to your landing page.
Converting With Pay Per Clicks
With PPC, it is extremely important to keep your CPC (cost per click) as low as possible. The best way to do this is to attain a high CTR (click through rate). High CTRs lower your CPC and move you up in ad position on Google.
Sometimes just improving your CTR could make a campaign profitable. With that said, it is important that your ad copy is attractive and has an immediate call to action.
You should have your keyword on the headline while using the first description line to grab the reader’s attention. The last description line should be used as a powerful call to action for the viewer.
You have to let people know what you want them to do; if you want someone to click-thru to your page and pay $4.99 for a free trial, make sure to let them know through your ad copy. Not only will you engage the viewer more, you will keep costs down by driving away non-buyers by stating directly that your product will cost something.
Split Testing is King
Sometimes, all it takes is a little testing in order to make something work. When creating a campaign, make sure you have multiple ad copies and a few landing pages to test with.
Gather a small yet relevant sample of data and see how each of your ad copies and landing pages stack up against each other. After collecting some data, pick the ones that perform the best and then start tweaking those even further for optimal success.
In summary, remember to test absolutely everything about your campaign. Always remember that a successful campaign could be just a quick fix away. Try to get inside your consumer’s head and learn what your target demographics are all about. With this knowledge in hand, your chances of getting significantly higher conversion rates are greatly improved.
