The best website content MUST be comprised of useful, credible, friendly and original material. These four components, when combined, can help bring your website the traffic you need. Customers want content that teaches them something new, answers a question and/or helps them make a buying decision. By being useful, you are building trust and goodwill, both of which influence whether people will buy from you. Your customers want credible information – content they can trust. You will become credible by continually producing useful and original content. In the meantime, use your “About Us” page to establish initial credibility. That page is extremely vital for prospective clients who are interested in your business but want to know a little more about your history and what credibility you have earned in the industry you’re in. The proper balance of content on this page will either make the prospective client turn into a customer or make the individual turn back and click on another website from the search engine results. Even if a topic is covered elsewhere, if it is relevant to your customers, create some sort of original content about it. This makes your site a one stop source of information – and a great way to drive continual traffic. To help make a topic more original, give your own unique insights and thoughts on it.

Not only does it have a high conversion rate, but as you build up your list, you can continually monetize it by pitching multiple products. Think of Amazon. What’s the one way they get millions of customers to continually buy more products from them? By e-mailing them offers on a regular basis! Some people think that by posting on different social media websites, they are promoting their business and their services. The problem with that is – it’s very easy to scroll down and ignore a post, but when you receive an e-mail, whether you want to or not, you will acknowledge the e-mail and read it before you delete it! If you don’t currently have an e-mail list, don’t worry. You can begin to go through your e-mails (outbox/inbox) and save the existing ones in an Excel Spreadsheet or on a document file. In your store you can begin with showcasing a printed paper with your company logo, on a clipboard perhaps, asking for a name and e-mail. Place it by the register or somewhere easy for the eye to see. Mention the new direction you are heading towards to your employees....
