There are many demands on our time, and this is why it is very important to communicate effectively and succinctly with your website visitors. In order for your website to work it has to have an effective call to action. The call to action must be proceeded by value, social proof, and demonstration of product quality and service expertise.
What is a Website For?
A website is more than pretty website design and effective search engine optimization. The purpose of a website is to share information with your best prospects so that they will become customers. In order for website visitors to become customers they have to complete their buyer’s journey.
Whether your website visitor comes to your website from social media, another website, search engines, a business card, word of mouth or referral, it is important that your website visitor gets to know, like, and trust your brand and make a purchase.
Website Credibility is Critical
When your website visitor comes to your website, it is important to exude credibility. Social Proof such as logos from companies that you have had as clients, or publications that your product has been featured in is a powerful way to demonstrate your range of experience and expertise. Another way you can ensure that people trust your website is by utilizing a SSL certificate. SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer Encryption and this code encrypts the connection from your website’s server to your visitor’s browser. Ultimately it is important for your website visitors to be safe when browsing your website.
Be Generous
Next, after you have established who you are so that your website visitors can get to know you it is important that they start to like you.
Sharing information that will help you customers get a clearly defined benefit is always a great way to build rapport. When your potential clients get access to white papers, eBooks, Free Trials, Consultations and more that gives them the opportunity to really get to know, like, and trust you.
I know getting a taste of a company’s product or a consultant’s expertise is delightful, and I know from experience on the giving and the receiving that it is helpful. In a world where integrity can be hard to find it is comforting to know that I have had a great experience with a company and their products and services. This makes me more likely to purchase in the future.
The Call To Action
Since your prospect has invested time to engage with your brand you know that they like, know, and trust you. Now, it is important that you give a call to action that creates a revenue stream.
Phrases like:
