What percentage of your website visitors actually become paying customers? It may be a much lower number than you’d think. According to some studies, only about two percent of website visitors convert on their first visit. Fortunately, there are strategies you can employ to follow up with the other 98 percent, potentially coaxing them to return to your site and complete a transaction.
A visitor makes his or her way to your site, does a bit of exploring, and leaves without taking any action, no forms filled out, no purchase made. How do you get them to come back, so you can connect with them and at some point make the sale? This is the point that retargeting campaigns come into play. And even if you don’t know these campaigns by name, if you have spent anytime searching or researching products on the web, you have experienced retargeting campaigns.
One of the most exciting aspects of digital marketing is that it’s easier than ever before for advertisers to address consumers at different stages of the sales funnel. As a case in point, consider display advertising. Display advertising is a strategy that’s proven highly effective at building brand awareness and even engendering favorable attitudes from consumers, before they reach the point of purchase.
In a perfect world, the consumer journey would be simple and straightforward. It might look something like this: An interested customer conducts an online search, and comes across your company website. After visiting the site and reading up on your products and services, the customer decides to make a purchase. That customer either buys the item directly from your ecommerce store, picks up the phone to call you, or drives to your brick-and-mortar location to complete the transaction.
We use microdata on all of the sites we build to make sure important details like address and business hours are passed on to Google and other search engines, making it easier for your customers to find you both on and off the web.
