5 Common-Sense Conversion Tactics Even Newbies Can Master
Every time a conversation veers towards improving website conversions, people whip out their website optimizer tools and get to work on web elements, title tags, better copy, and so on.
There's just one problem…
With so much time and effort spent on website optimization, A/B testing, multivariate testing or usability testing, very little thought is given to the fundamentals of marketing that have held leading brands in good stead over the years.
Here's a look at five common-sense ways to improve your website's conversions without changing its SEO, layout or design.
1. Forget Features, Show Them the Benefits
All of us are in love with our own product or service. That's why we're selling them, right? We know them inside out and can rattle off every last feature that they have.
Unfortunately, a visitor to your website does not care how in love with your products you are or how many oh-so-great features they may have. A potential customer is on your website because they think you can solve their problem. They want to know what your product can do, not what your product has or how it was built.
Spell out the benefits, not the features. Most customers don't know the results of many of the features you list and will never see the reason why they should buy.
For example, if you sell a hair color with zero ammonia, don't say, "Buy our great hair color, with no ammonia." Try saying "Our ammonia-free hair color protects you from hair fall." Benefits. It's all about benefits.
2. Highlight Your USP
The days of just one or two primary players in a market are history. With reverse engineering, the smartest products get copied in no time and the intense competition for every dime in the customer's wallet makes it necessary for your brand to stand out.
To succeed, you haveto offer something that your competitors don't. It could be made-to-order designs, free shipping, free installation, free returns or 2-year warranties—anything that gives you an edge over competition and is relevant to your customer.
Once you zero in on your unique selling point (USP), make sure you yell from the rooftops about it. Make the customer fully aware of the awesome benefit of your USP and show them how they simply should not miss out.
Walmart.com gets their USP right up there, where no customer can miss it.
3. Easily Findable Contact Information
Imagine wanting to buy that great Chronometer watch you always wanted, but not being able to find your way to the billing desk. Frustrating, right?
That's how a lot of your customers feel when they find no way to contact your company for purchase inquiries.
You do want to convert your visitors into buyers, don't you? Then make sure they have an easy way of reaching you and they can see that information without turning your site upside down. This is even more important if you are selling a service and not a tangible product.
Have a toll-free 1-800 number in place and advertise it prominently on your site, preferably in the top right-hand corner.
Also have other alternatives like a customer service email ID or, better yet, a live chat option that can guide a customer through their purchase and then lead to a conversion. A study by Forrester Research shows that 44% of online shoppers considered live chat one of the most important features of e-commerce sites.
4. Your Site is Not a Treasure Hunt, Make Navigation Intuitive
A user lands on your site hoping to find something that fulfills their needs. Make this search easy for them. A simple, intelligent user experience and clear navigation will go a long way in doing that.
Help your users get around your website effortlessly. Make the number of clicks and sequence of steps required to make a purchase minimal. Lay out a clear navigation path. Arrange your products and services in distinct and logical menus that are prominently displayed.
Don't make shoppers go hunting around your site in frustration, looking for the things they want to buy. Bring it as close to them as possible with clear categories, sub categories and simple directions to find what they want.
For example, look out simply Vidal Sassoon categorizes their products:
You might offer a million things for sale on your site, but that does not mean you need to showcase all of them all together. Keep your design and layout simple, try not to overwhelm customers with too many options. To ensure conversions, your primary goal is to avoid any distractions that take the customer away from the purchase process.
5. Target Abandoned Shopping Carts
Research shows that nearly 70% of all online shopping carts are abandoned. The upside is that 75% of first time shoppers who abandon their shopping carts, will return at some point to complete their purchase.
This clearly means that the potential for growing conversions by simply reaching out to customers who walked away mid-shopping is enormous.
Create a dedicated program aimed at winning back abandoned cart customers and nurture them into repeat customers that bring you greater revenues over the years.
A series of well-thought-out reminder emails with details of the products they left behind in their shopping cart is a good nudge towards making them complete their purchase and hence grow your conversions.
The Bottom Line
A website needs to be aesthetically pleasing while still being functional. Benchmarks are created based on the purpose each art form is meant to fulfill. A Picasso is not meant to calm you down. It is meant to stir your mind and get you thinking. And it does a great job of that.
Your website may rival a Picasso in its aesthetics, but without conversions, all you have is a pretty canvas on the internet that's costing you a lot of money while not making a penny to pay for its upkeep.
So look beyond just the design, layout or SEO of your site. Dig deeper and fix the fundamental marketing blights that hold back your site from doing as well as it should.

Thank-you for this brilliant article and just in time too. I am taking on more E-commerce clients so the little bit of gold on shopping cart abandonment is appreciated.

Kevin, glad we could helpJuly 20, 2014
Hey Neil or Brian. These are some excillent tips! USP can be one of the hardest things to highlight. Simply because sometime you might not have one.
Anyway, I do think that showing what YOU can do for the customer rather than blindly stating the product is always a good option.
Live chat is also one of the bigger things I'd suggest.IMsupporting Live Chat Software is a great tool for any small business website. I think the number of sites using live chat and how much effect it has on sales will increase over the coming years.
Mostly because people are realllllllly impatient. So getting answers quickly and easily is the best method of increasing conversions. A lot of people also dont like to pick up the phone. they just want answers NOW with no effort on their behalf.
Anywho. Great article! will certainly go over my sites with a fine tooth comb now. Food for thought etc..July 21, 2014

This is very good advice. I also think there is more to building a better customer base than just seo and design layout. I think people have to really emphasize the value their product can create if it was purchased. Give testimonials and offer reviews to show people are missing out. You are right that the business world is very competetive, so you have to go above and beyond for your customers. I beleive excellent customer service is the one of the keys to success.

Hey Brian,
These are truly simple tips that a lot of us overlook. Showing the benefits, Emphasizing your USP, Contact Information, and user friendly navigation are truly simple things that we can implement but yet we tend to want to make things more complicate. Complication doesn't make you money because your clients don't like complication. They like simplicity and the more simple you make your site, the more clients you'll attract!
Thanks for sharing! Have a great one!July 23, 2014

Yeah, glad you find my tips simple yet useful.July 23, 2014

When an AV found a virus on my external drive in the System Volume Information folder, I could not understand why this folder appeared there in the first place. From the logic behind System Restore there should be no cases when the system creates restore points on the removable media (except maybe manual installation of a program file there). Or I miss something and there are chances this folder would appear on any removable media one day?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
System Restore may also monitor the external drive. This is of course a bad idea.
A possible workaround is to assign a permanent drive letter (the higher in the alphabet the better) to the external drive via Disk Management. To access Disk Management, go to Start - Run and type diskmgmt.msc then press enter.
Right click a partition, logical drive, or volume, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Do one of the following:
Now go to System properties and do:
To get rid of this protected directory from an external drive, say G:, start cmd.exe using "Run as administrator" and enter the following:
Answer y for yes when asked whether to replace the permissions.
After this you can now delete the directory.

Coimbatore: Indian Bank plans to launch wealth management services in Coimbatore shortly, its Chairman and Managing Director M.S. Sundara Rajan said here on Tuesday.
Speaking at the inaugural of the bank's SME branch here, he said the wealth management programme was introduced recently in Chennai as a pilot project.
Coimbatore had the bank's second specialised branch for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). With this, the total number of its branches rose to 1,600 at national-level, 704 in the State and 60 in Coimbatore circle. Tamil Nadu contributed 40 per cent of its business and hence the bank looked at expanding further here.
It had introduced biometric ATMs for self-help group (SHG) members and already had 16 such ATMs. This would be extended to more SHG clusters. The bank also had 17 specialised branches for the SHGs.
The bank opened 100 branches during the last financial year and another 100 this year. Its deposit growth this financial year was expected to be 17 per cent and credit growth about 30 per cent. The bank had so far restructured credit worth Rs. 600 crore and Rs. 100 crore of this in the MSME segment.
Some of the strengths of the Indian economy were savings and strong domestic consumption. However, when there was an economic slowdown, it was essential to encourage industries and the specialised branches would help in this effort.
The micro, small and medium enterprises needed quick credit decision. "Delayed credit is denied credit." The SME branch here was located on the same premises of the circle office of the bank and this would reduce the communication time.
"We need to encourage micro, small and medium enterprises by extending need-based finance." Banks were trying to see how to step up credit to these units and Indian Bank would make credit available at affordable rates.
The credit re-structuring and re-phasing for micro, small and medium enterprises would be done till the end of this month. On a case-to-case basis, the bank extended the drawing power too for them. He urged the bank officials to empathise with these units.
Inaugurating the branch, Coimbatore Corporation Commissioner Ansul Mishra said the whole banking activity revolved around customers.
They were the key point and banks should offer the best services to them.

Our boiler had a problem a week ago. Natiowude sent us 2 hungarian plumbers who caused more damage than good and over a week later, they still haven't managed to get it fixed - the problem or the damage. They sub-contract, to sub-contractors and it is a truly awful customer service too - lots of junior staff with no authroity to get anything done or make decisions. My wife has Reynouds, so the cold is a nightmare and after 3 days off work waiting for Nationwide to resolve the problems, we… Read Full Review

Fine when they're looking for your initial custom but once you've been with them for a few years, they treat you like xxxx. In a 25 year home owner history I made just 1 claim (tenanted property) which was about 12 years ago. You'd think they would want to keep me as a customer - wrong! They increased my premium from last year by £90 and would not give a reason due to 'industry secrets'. I suspect that they gave me this increase so that I would increase my Excess. If they are doing this on a… Read Full Review

Nationwide's motto is "on-your-side". Over the years we have had at least three mortgages and accompanying Home & Contents insurances with them - going back to the days where they had a respected manager you could talk to and they appeared to be a truly mutual "on-your-side" sort of organisation. On my current property I had the mortgage through them and Home & contents insurance. The mortgage was paid off a few years ago but I continued the insurances. I would consider myself a long-term… Read Full Review

Same has happened to me been with Nationwide since 1976 for mortgage and insurances but latest renewal came in at a 20% increase and Nationwide are still not giving an answer of why this increase, can tell you they no longer are in charge of there insurance it is done by UKI a ripoff company
Written on: 28/09/2014
Sorry to hear you've had the same. After further research it appears to be quite commonplace: those who put their trust in Nationwide are exploited in the extreme.
I'm looking into it further to see if there is any sort of redress I can pursue. I wrote to them asking for an explanation but they replied answering a different question and provided the expected meaningless tripe by way of an answer.
Likewise the issue of miss-selling: if selling a product or service which is substantially beyond what is required and then charging nearly three times the figure that THEY themselves quote you when you approach them independently doesn't constitute miss-selling then what does?
Watch this space.

Just had renewal on the other house in noticed that the insurer is UKI and the product is Nationwide whereas before it was Nationwide Insurance Underwritten by UKI. So Nationwide are no longer an insure so should not be advertising themselves as such.
Written on: 03/11/2014
Further to the above:
Today spoke to the "Which" (consumers assoc.) legal department. They have received numerous similar reports but apparently it's all quite legal.
The companies' defence is that they give notice - usually 21 days - of the renewal date and the price, and if you are loyal and trusting (sorry, stupid) enough to "choose" to renew with them then that's your problem not theirs.
Stories of 300% above the going rate are apparently endemic among those of us daft enough to trust these companies. And it's far from confined to Nationwide; it's widespread across all of them in the industry.
The lesson is that you should never just "renew" with ANY company. ALWAYS get a new quote EVERY year. And that includes car insurance, utilities and other providers.
What a sad day and sad way to live that we can no longer trust anyone.

I decided to try Nationwide after 20yrs with my previous carrier that over the years increased my rates out of market value. I met with and discussed my coverage needs and concerns. After 1-1/2 yr with them, I needed to file a claim only to find out I wasn't covered and they did a very poor job of documenting my specific request for this coverage or at lease "couldn't find it". Customer service experience...very rude adjuster and claim agent. I would never recommend them to anyone!… Read Full Review

I bought home insurance from the Nationwide. A year after making a claim for a window handle, I still have not had the claim settled. The Nationwide are so poor and disinterested in their customers that the only two things they've managed to say are they don't deal with their customers issues, whilst in the next breath thanking you for choosing cover from the Nationwide, and that you can be assured of a personal service. If personal means that you will feel very alone, then they have actually… Read Full Review

Have been with Nationwide Home Insurance for many years and just received our annual renewal notice. It represents a year on year increase of 10% for reduced cover where I need it. No claims to date and yet the "Personal Possessions" section used to be an option that covered travel globally but has now become limited to the British Isles and optional extra for worldwide.

The moment you mention Nationwide or their under-writer UKI you have lost anything, and everything.
Phrases like chocolate fire-guard come to mind.
I sadly had to finally make a claim which opened my eyes to the sheer contempt these people show to their customers. Claim was for a £15 handle. They haven't fixed it, caused me 11 months of hell, yet have the damned impertinence to send me a renewal policy as a valued customer quoting personal service. When I needed them they told me customer service was nothing to do with them, and I had to speak with UKI.
Nationwide DON'T care, they use phrases like disappointed you are having trouble, and then refer you to UKI.
UKI are incompetent, they break commitments, have no communication's skills between their teams, use poor contractors and blatantly lie.
Went to the Ombudsman about these 'two jokers,' as they must already know these two companies are taking the biscuit in terms of delivering on what they sell. No real interest from the Ombudsman, who need to be held to account themselves if you've ever dealt with them.
In this current period of austerity, there's a cost saving that could be made and passed on to the consumer, as they have no interest except to support the very Corporations against whom the complaints are made against.
No doubt one day these two will be held to account, whether the Ombudsman finally 'smells the roses', or whether they're being slagged off on Watchdog we'll see.
I'd just make sure every time the topic comes up you pass on your experience of these really poor companies who see nothing past your premium.
In future, just stay away from anything to do with UKI or the Nationwide.
I wish you well, but service or justice you will not get from these comedians.
Tried it myself, but recordings, photographs and documentation are no interest to them, or indeed the Ombudsman. In my case they denied nothing, just weren't interested in making amends.

Been with nationwide for over 10 years, and made a claim years ago which was dealt with very quickly. This time, however, most of the time has been spent on getting a response from them! The problem is a main leak through the ceiling, which was looked at by a builder we had found. He had told us that the entire ceiling was unsupported due to rotted wooden timber, and the bath could fall through at any time - This led to the builder fitting in beams to hold the ceiling in place.

Back in the day, I was active in the NYS PTA and was their volunteer "lobbyist" in Albany. As a result I got my name in the papers more often than usual. The NYT used to identify me as Mrs. David Blum ... not Gerrie, my name, but my then-husband's -- which didn't make any sense to me. Ms. was also coming into usage, so I wrote to the Times ... several times ... asking them to change the way they identified me. After many months, they did. I was among the first women written about in the Times that was referred to first by my own name, and later as Ms. instead of Mrs..

"Seasonal Moments" art exhibition on display at Government Center
Color is an important feature of Noel's oil paintings, used to evoke a moment or movement or time, according to the Loudoun County Government public information office.
"I use color to create drama, tension and a sense of space or narrative. My goal is to have the viewer stop and think about the moment, the setting, the movement, the happening," Noel said in a statement.
A past president of the Loudoun Arts Council and Loudoun Sketch Club, Noel was also a founding member of King Street Studios in Leesburg. She now paints at her studio in Great Falls and is an associate artist at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. Noel enjoys teaching drawing and painting, and has works in private and public collections.
Organized by the Loudoun County Art Advisory Committee, the exhibition is available for public viewing during regular business hours and evening meetings through July 8.

Carl Heinrich Bloch (May 23, 1834 - February 22, 1890) was a Danish painter. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and studied with Wilhelm Marstrand at the Royal Danish Academy of Art (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) there. Bloch's parents wanted their son to enter a respectable profession - an officer in the Navy. This, however, was not what Carl wanted. His only interest was drawing and painting, and he was consumed by the idea of becoming an artist. He went to Italy to study art, passing through the Netherlands, where he became acquainted with the work of Rembrandt, which became a major influence on him.[1] Carl Bloch met his wife, Alma Trepka, in Rome, where he married her on May 31, 1868. They were happily married until her early...

More Homes Foreclosed
By KWGS News/OETA
Oklahoma City, OK – As 2010 winds down, the number of homes being foreclosed in Oklahoma ramps up. Foreclosures are up 15-percent over last year.
The head of the Oklahoma Mortgage Bankers Association is Doyle Providence. He attributes the increase to lenders being more aggressive in solving delinquencies.
He says a foreclosed home in your neighborhood should have little impact on your property value . However several homes in disrepair will impact your home's value.

FIELDS: Latin America, Mexico
BIOGRAPHY: Ms. Quezada became interested in the history of violence and social movements in Latin American when first learning about Guatemalan refugees in Mexico. Since then, she has been using print publications and oral histories to try to piece together stories on the various ways victims of violence will demand and fight for their rights.
DISSERTATION: The Revolution in Crisis: A History of Human Rights in Mexico, 1968-1982
Ms. Quezada's work looks at the global diffusion of the term human rights in the 1960s and 1970s. She is particularly interested in the role international organizations played in disseminating global conceptions of rights in Mexico, especially those outlined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Between 1968 and 1982, more individualistic notions of rights emerged as Mexico's revolutionary institutions weakened.
