										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2384" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/livechat-website1-150x150.png" alt="website live chat for local businesses" width="150" height="150" />If you are looking to provide &#8216;Live Chat&#8217; support on your website or open to the idea of setting one up, this will help you get started. There are of course a number of ways to convert more website visitors into customers and this is certainly one of the useful options out there that&#8217;s worth considering.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-2333"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on your type of local business and the resources you have in place, providing &#8216;Live Chat&#8217; on your website may not necessarily be suitable. But if it&#8217;s something that you can accommodate into your business strategy, then you should find this information valuable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you spend money on advertising campaigns to drive visitors to your website, I recently wrote a relevant article about <a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/why-website-live-chat-is-useful-for-your-advertising-campaigns/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">live chat benefits</span></a> and why it&#8217;s useful for local businesses. But here are some key tips&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How To Effectively Provide ‘Live Chat’ on Your Website</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Be Quick in Your Responses</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The fact is people like ‘Live Chat’ as it offers a convenient and instant way to get in touch live with a real person for FREE!. You must have the right chat Agents and infrastructure in place in order to provide quick immediate responses. And keep your replies as brief as possible (without fluff) for quick time-effective interactions with people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Have Capable Agents in Place</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A key part of ‘Live Chat’s ability to increase website conversion rate is to have people in place who are knowledgeable about your product or service. Besides, you need fluent communicators who can solve customer queries effectively. So make sure your Agents are well trained. If you are outsourcing chat Agents, then provide them with knowledge base and FAQ content for dealing with common questions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2199" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat1b.png" alt="Live Chat on Website - Live Chat Online for Local Businesses" width="669" height="374" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat1b.png 669w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat1b-300x168.png 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat1b-500x280.png 500w" sizes="(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Doing ‘Live Chat’ In-House</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using existing employees as chat Agents is of course a way of doing ‘Live Chat’ in-house. The good thing is you or your existing staff members are already knowledgeable about your offers. Therefore if you already have resources in place internally to provide the service yourself, why not take advantage? After all, the end result is you will be regularly getting more customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your staff can operate your chat service on a rotational basis. For example, have someone operate your chat system for 2 hours at a time. Alternatively, have someone doing the job full-time. Just make sure that whoever is the chat Agent on duty is fully dedicated without getting distracted with other tasks. As lack of responses or quick replies to ‘Live Chat’ enquiries will obviously have a negative impact on your business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hiring Outsourcers For The Task</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may simply outsource your ‘Live Chat’ service. This is a great option if you don’t already have employees available to use as Agents or you are too busy to do it yourself in-house. It’s very affordable. But more importantly, the ongoing sales revenue you will gain is far greater than the low cost of outsourcing. Imagine highly multiplying your sales.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides, a hired chat Agent will be focused on this one task. They won’t get distracted with other tasks that employees may possibly experience. If you choose to go down this route, remember to provide your outsourced Agents with knowledge base and FAQ for solving common customer questions. Sometimes an outsourced Agent cannot answer a question during a ‘Live Chat’. What happens then? No problem. They take a message on your behalf and forward it to you for a reply.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Include Screen Notification Feature</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your website chat system should include notification feature. This will automatically notify you on your computer screen when receiving new ‘Live Chat’ enquiries. You can therefore avoid missing out on customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Maximise The ‘Live Chat’ Experience</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Focusing on conversion is always important. The point is: you need to test, test and keep testing your chat service! It could be about level of response rate, quantity of leads captured daily, levels of sales per day and so forth. Find out what’s working or not for ongoing improvements. Look for emerging patterns such as what common questions keep coming up. Then based on your findings, make necessary ongoing improvements.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Be Aware of Peak Traffic Times</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not many businesses will be able to employ or provide 24-hour a day, seven days a week ‘Live Chat’ support. Therefore you need to be aware of when traffic peaks on your website in order to effectively allocate your resources. Knowing this will allow you to have someone dedicated in place during peak times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Offer Warm &amp; Friendly Chats</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your chat service should be a warm, friendly and great way to help you connect with your customers. So, use the opportunity of being in this situation to not only build excellent rapport with people, but go the extra mile to meet their needs. As a result, satisfied customers will come back to you for repeat business or give you referrals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2200" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-friendly2.png" alt="Website Live Chat for Local Businesses" width="591" height="397" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-friendly2.png 591w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-friendly2-300x202.png 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-friendly2-447x300.png 447w" sizes="(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Provide ‘Offline Mode’ Contact Form</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you are unavailable for ‘Live Chat’ support, turn your chat box into offline mode. Make sure your chat box has a contact form. People are then allowed to leave messages with their contact details (name, email etc). So you are still able to capture leads (from your website) when your ‘Live Chat’ service is offline.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Optimise ‘Live Chat’ For Mobile</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These days with many people visiting websites on their mobile phones, your chat system must be accessible on mobile devices. If not, you’ll miss out on a lot of chat enquiries from smartphone users. Besides, if you are outgoing and would like to respond to ‘Live Chat’ enquiries (while on the go), ensure you can do this via your smartphone. As this provides the flexibility to be away from your desktop computer and still access your chat system. The point is you and your website visitors should have access to your ‘Live Chat’ via mobile devices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Conclusion&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you find this valuable to effectively set up &#8216;Live Chat&#8217; support on your website.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2205" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat1c.png" alt="Website Live Chat For Local Businesses" width="212" height="164" />Are you paying for visitors to your local business website? Do you spend on Press Advertising, Google Adwords (Pay Per Click) or other ways to get customers? If so, consider having interactive ‘Live Chat’ support on your website. But why is this useful for your advertising campaigns?<span id="more-2201"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">‘Live Chat’ provides a convenient, quick and easy way to engage as well as build relationships (in real-time) with your website visitors. It allows one on one interaction on a personal level that turns hot prospects into buyers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Key goals of any business with a website is simple – effectively capture leads, offer solutions to customer needs, increase sales and maximise revenue without raising their marketing budget. Forward thinking businesses are now providing interactive ‘Live Chat’ service on their websites to meet all of these needs all together. This is certainly a very useful tool to implement, especially if you are spending money on advertising.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>‘Live Chat’ Interaction is Proven for Boosting Website Conversions!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A survey carried out by Forrester Research entitled ‘Making Proactive Chat Work’ gives important insights into how people react to getting ‘Live Chat’ support on a website. The survey report states that 44% of online consumers say that having their questions answered by a live person whilst considering a purchase online is one of the most vital features a website can provide.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Forester Research also states that 62% reported as highly likely to buy again via the same website. A further 38% of respondents claimed they made a buying decision as a result of a ‘Live Chat’ session. And if a chat system and complementary website are <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/why-mobile-optimised-website-is-a-top-priority/">mobile optimised</a></span> for mobile users, the better the conversion rates.</p>
<p>In fact ‘Live Chat’ has the highest satisfaction levels for any customer service channel with 73%, compared with 61% for email and 44% for phone (Source: eDigital Research).</p>
<p>‘Live Chat’ is Convenient &#8211; Customers Love it (e-Digital Research)&#8230;<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2198" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat.png" alt="Website Live Chat Support for Local Businesses" width="628" height="282" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat.png 628w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-300x135.png 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/livechat-500x225.png 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>7 Key Benefits of ‘Live Chat’ Support on Your Website</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Converts Web Traffic into Leads &amp; Customers</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may already be getting traffic to your website or a landing page via your advertising. But not every visitor likes to phone or email you to make an enquiry. Not everyone wants to pay for a phone call or wait for an email reply. That does not mean those site visitors should be ignored and you lose them to your competitors as a result. The good news is ‘Live Chat’ is proven to instantly capture hot leads you would otherwise lose and convert them into customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. ‘Live Chat’ Support Increases Sales</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes a website visitor is confused or has a burning question that stops them from making a buying decision. And they need immediate real-time response from a live person. But instead of paying for a phone call or sending an email support ticket, they will simply leave the site and go to a competitor. ‘Live Chat’ provides an immediate interactive way of answering any questions, overcoming objections and guiding site visitors along a sales process in real-time. So, you get more out of your advertising spend.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Builds Credibility with Customers</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When visitors land on your website and realise that you have a ‘Live Chat’ support system in place, it gives them a good impression about your overall customer service. This makes a credibility building statement that your business is actively well run along with going the extra mile to support your customers. As a result, more of your site visitors will sign up or buy from you with confidence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. ‘Live Chat’ Support Boosts Website ROI</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are already paying for traffic (visitors) to your website, then maximising your ROI (Return on Investment) should be a top priority. You need a great way to engage the traffic coming to your website, which then converts into more sales. Otherwise you will be wasting a lot of your marketing spend. Live Chat effectively provides engagement with your site visitors in real-time. Therefore it helps to boost your ROI.</p>
<p><strong>5. Makes You Stand Out From Competitors</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using ‘Live Chat’ on your website will give you an edge over your competitors. You will simply stand out by offering something valuable to your customers that your competitors are not. Doing something different or going the extra mile in business will go a long way towards making a big impression in front of your customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Valuable Real-Time Customers Feedback</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With regards to customer interaction, very few communication methods give the level of insight you can acquire from a ‘Live Chat’ support service. The main valuable thing about ‘Live Chat’ is the open conversational aspect of it, rather than just purely corresponding (like email). ‘Live Chat’ provides a 2-way interaction that enables chat Agents to better gather customers feedback, identify their pain points, meet their needs, track data and also discover required website improvements all in real-time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Reduces The Cost Of Paid Traffic</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On average, 41 – 55% of website visitors leave right away. That’s about half of your website visitors leaving as soon as they arrive. This is what&#8217;s known as bounce rate. Around 26 – 40% is considered a good bounce rate, the lower the better. And if you are running Pay Per Click advertising campaign (like Google Adwords), the lower your website (landing page) bounce rate, the less you pay for each click. You even pay less for each click than your competition&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Google have a quality score system for rewarding sites with good conversion rates by reducing their cost per click. Key way to actually reduce bounce rate is to ‘engage’ your traffic (i.e. your site visitors). ‘Live Chat’ support is a proven way to achieve this. Therefore from the traffic you are already paying for, not only would you be able to maximise sales, but also massively reduce your costs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Conclusion&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can now see why interactive ‘Live Chat’ support on your website is worth considering if you spend money on advertising to generate customers. As you can highly reduce advertising spend and maximise sales through your website. If you set up a chat system, make sure your site is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/why-mobile-optimised-website-is-a-top-priority/">mobile optimised</a></span> for the &#8216;Live Chat&#8217; mobile users, which further helps to increase conversions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-297 size-full" title="How To Profitably Create A Landing Page" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/web-cr-e1315345011245.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="120" />To rapidly achieve healthy sales and profits from online advertising, you need to create a powerful landing page. By simply linking prospects to a single sales  page on your site that’s relevant to an ad campaign, could indeed produce high level of success.<span id="more-1312"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One major online advertising error by some businesses is linking targeted audience to a homepage.  I’ve once been there myself and it cost me dearly. The average <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-reduce-bounce-rate-and-gain-more-customers">Bounce Rate</a></strong></span> on my site was even affected as a result.  But why is linking visitors (from an advert) to a homepage the wrong move?&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mainly because a homepage usually contains general information &#8230;.is just not specific or relevant enough to an ad campaign.  (A landing page on the other hand is quite the opposite and therefore produces much better success rate).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1313" title="How To Profitably Create A Landing Page" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/lptr.jpg" alt="A man pointing at a computer screen - landing page tracking result demo" width="578" height="374" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>So, how can you create a landing page for an ad campaign to optimise profits?  </strong>Here are 5 major tips&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>(1) Create A Magnetic Title</strong> –  Make your landing page title speak emotionally to your audience by clearly stating the main benefit of your product or service.   A powerful page headline simply engages and motivates your prospects to find out more!  For instance if you are selling fitness videos, communicate the most important benefit of your fitness program (in your headline) to potential buyers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>(2) Create List Of Benefits</strong> &#8211;  Provide a breakdown on your landing page of the key benefits relating to your offer.   Benefits produce sales&#8230;not features!   By outlining this to your audience will lead to emotional and psychological trigger that could make them instantly buy from you.  For example, you can clearly add bold text, underscore, asterisks or bullet points to your benefit listing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>(3) Focus On The Prospects</strong> &#8211;  Create a landing page primarily for your audience, not yourself.  In my time online, I’ve seen so many long winded sales pages where sellers say far too much about themselves.   And not focusing on the needs of their target market.   Of course, it’s good to write about your business credibility or life experiences to develop initial rapport with prospects.   But keep it to a minimum and your profits can really skyrocket.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>(4) Create Call To Action</strong> &#8211;  A landing page without a call to action is a very costly mistake in business.  You must lead your prospects to act upon the information you provide.  For example, instruct them to click an order button and purchase your stuff.   Make the order button highly visible on your landing page.  In the process, strongly remind prospects of how and why your offer is beneficial to them to effectively close the deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>(5) Provide Ad Copy Relevance</strong> &#8211; It’s crucial to create a landing page that is highly relevant to an ad campaign and your target market.  You have probably heard this several times before.  But it’s definitely worth emphasising.  Because if visitors click a link in your ad that directs them to a relevant landing page, they are more likely to stick around (but most importantly there’s a good chance they’ll make a purchase).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope you find this information valuable on how to create a landing page to boost your sales and profit margins. You can check out further information here about optimising <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> <a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-reduce-bounce-rate-and-gain-more-customers">Website Conversion Rate.</a></strong></span>  Until next time!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-297 size-full" title="How To Reduce Bounce Rate And Gain More Customers" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/web-cr-e1315345011245.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="120" />One major route to gaining more customers is to reduce bounce rate on your website. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s something several businesses fail to achieve online and why they struggle as a result.  For that reason, this post is about addressing the issue, so that you can highly boost your conversions. <span id="more-1216"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A bounce is when someone visits your website and quickly exits your site. The longer visitors stay on your web pages, the more you reduce your bounce rate. As a result, you will get increased conversions and more customers.  Now here’s a key question&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What is generally considered a very good bounce rate? </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The lower your rate the better. So, you want to keep it as low as possible. It’s simply measured in percentage. Around 26 &#8211; 40% is usually considered a very good rate. The rate for the average website is around 41 &#8211; 55%. Anything above 70% indicates your site is performing very badly&#8230;.it means visitors landing on your web pages are highly unimpressed and leaving fast!  A very high percentage is ‘red flag’ territory and worrying times for sure!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>But where exactly can you monitor your bounce rate?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What you require is a traffic tracking tool linked to your business website. One popular tool that I highly recommend which I personally use myself is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-install-google-analytics-to-boost-your-website/">Google Analytics.</a></strong></span>  It will clearly show you the bounce rate of various pages that people are visiting on your site.  Not only is it very effective and simple to use but it’s also free to set up!  Once you have installed Google Analytics, you are ready to<strong>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>&#8230;&#8230;M.O.T.  your website wheels for lower bounce rate!&#8230;&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1217" title="How To Reduce Bounce Rate And Gain More Customers!" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bounce-r.jpg" alt="World Wide Web logo on wheels to illustrate how to reduce bounce rate to increase website conversions." width="480" height="360" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bounce-r.jpg 480w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bounce-r-300x225.jpg 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bounce-r-400x300.jpg 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Now, here are tips on how to reduce bounce rate in order to increase conversions&#8230;..</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Provide Valuable Content</strong> &#8211;  There’s no getting away from this!  With so much competition online nowadays, it’s important  to go the extra mile!  You can reduce your bounce rate by producing  high quality relevant content on your web pages.  As a consequence, your online audience will not only stay longer on your site but they will be hungry enough to keep coming back.  Also add relevant images around your content to be more appealing to your target market.  The more quality interesting content you provide, the greater your paying customers&#8230;pure and simple!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Quicken Load Times</strong> –  Are your site pages loading frustratingly slow?  If so, you might be putting off visitors leading to a high bouncing rate. One of the key advantages of using Google Analytics tool is that it allows you to identify slow pages on your site.  This way, you can increase the speed of affected pages to reduce your bounce rate.  To fix the problem, cut down on using too many images on your web pages.  Delete any unnecessary plug-ins that are slowing down your pages.  You can also install a website speed performance tool on your site to make it load quicker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Provide Relevant Landing Pages</strong> –  When using paid or free ads to get traffic, make sure your landing pages are highly relevant to the corresponding ads.  This is what your target market expect!  It’s really annoying for a potential customer to click the link in an advert and then land on a web page that’s totally irrelevant.  So, never promise something in an advert that cannot be delivered on your landing page.  By avoiding this possible blunder, you’ll definitely reduce bounce rate on your site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Focus On Targeted Traffic</strong> – Are the right people visiting your site?  Ensure the keywords you apply around your site for SEO purpose are specifically related to your target market.  Otherwise, visitors can’t wait to exit your landing pages quickly enough.  Regularly monitor your traffic to eliminate inappropriate keywords that could be detrimental to your conversions.  By highly focusing on attracting relevant quality targeted traffic will indeed reduce your bounce rate.  Which also means visitors to your site will be genuinely interested in your offers and are more likely to become loyal customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Minimise Obstructing Users Experience</strong> – Are you highly interrupting your site visitors’ experience?   For example, are constant unnecessary pop-ups getting in the way of your valuable offers?   Perhaps you are aggressively linking your site visitors to a splash page?  These are two common irritating examples why users can exit a web page in a hurry!  As a rule of thumb, you should by all means minimise or avoid such practices.  My point is, the less interruptions on your site, the better you <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/7-golden-rules-to-highly-increase-your-business-website-conversion-rate"><strong>boost your conversions</strong>.</a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Offer Relevant Internal Links</strong> &#8211;  Pasting internal links within your site pages is another way to reduce bounce rate.  What I’m referring to is adding relevant links inside each page content.  They can be pasted around the top, middle and bottom part of a page. It will make people stay  longer on your site, providing you give valuable content. Because visitors can easily click a link that directs them to another relevant page for further details.  However, be careful not to put many clickable links into a single page.  As you don’t  want to scare away or overwhelm your site visitors with too much information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Create User-friendliness</strong> &#8211;  This is highly crucial to reduce bounce rate.  My point is make your business website very pleasing to the eye and uncomplicated looking to your audience.  It should have a nice design layout and allow easy navigation from one page to another.  Make colours blend well together on your site and avoid tacky looking appearance. Not everyone likes to navigate around your site. Therefore, try as much as possible to make your information highly obvious and easily accessible. Also make sure your site is mobile-friendly to smartphone users.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, you basically have to make your site valuable, beneficial and convenient as much as possible for your target audience.  By doing that, you will no doubt reduce your bounce rate. As a result you can highly boost your conversions and gain more precious customers.  Now, install <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-install-google-analytics-to-boost-your-website/">Google Analytics</a></strong></span> to get the ball rolling (if you’ve not already done so).  Anything you would like to share about this post?  We welcome your comment!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qrcode.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1120" title="What Is QR Code And How Can It Benefit Your Business?" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qrcode-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qrcode-150x150.jpg 150w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qrcode.jpg 215w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The great thing about marketing online is the flow of new opportunities that continue to emerge for business growth. QR code is another emerging marketing method now gathering serious momentum online.   So, what is QR code and how can you benefit from it as a local or small business owner?<span id="more-1119"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The above abbreviation stands for ‘Quick Response code’.  This is basically a two dimensional barcode with  information embedded inside it.  And anyone that has a smartphone with a camera can scan the barcode to access the stored information in a few seconds. For instance, the scanning effect can automatically direct a mobile phone user to a linked or related website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now that I’ve clarified what is QR code, the next question is how exactly can it effectively work for your customers and benefit your business?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qr-code.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1126" title="What Is QR Code And How Can It Benefit Your Business?" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qr-code.jpg" alt="QR code with someone scanning its data using a mobile phone" width="480" height="339" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qr-code.jpg 480w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qr-code-300x211.jpg 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/qr-code-424x300.jpg 424w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although QR code is relatively new as far as the global internet is concerned but has been around for a few years now.  This marketing method is already very big in Japan and common in the US.  In the UK where I’m based, it’s just starting to take off.  The worldwide potential is massive!    And here are some QR code marketing ideas you can potentially use to grow your local or small business linking to your website&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Paste QR code in press ads. </strong>In terms of advertising in the press (i.e. newspaper), you can simply place a small ad instead of a full page.  Then paste the code in your ad.  So that prospective buyers can scan it with their mobile phones and instantly link to your website for further information.  No need for them to memorize or write down your site address.  How cool is that?  For example, a gym owner can put QR code in their ads.  Then direct potential buyers to irresistible discounts regarding gym membership on their website.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Display the code outside your premises.</strong> Do you have a shop, office or business premises that’s ideal for displaying your offers around the entrance?  This is one of the most effective QR code marketing ideas.  Because passers-by or window shoppers can easily see the code on display.  Then scan it with their mobile phone and get directed to your website for further information. Certainly this will help increase your business <a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/7-golden-rules-to-highly-increase-your-business-website-conversion-rate"><strong>Website Conversion Rate</strong>.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Paste QR code inside your premises. </strong>With this method, potential buyers entering your business premises can see the code on display and link to your website.  You can maybe make your code link to an interactive or demo video on your site about special offers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Include code on billboards or public transport ads. </strong>This really plays a significant role in the practicality of what is QR code.  But how?  Imagine someone in a car or walking along who suddenly sees your ad pasted on a billboard or a moving bus.  If they have a mobile phone, they can easily scan your code and connect to your website for further information.  Again, no need for them to write anything down, especially if they are in a hurry to get somewhere.   For example, you can promote discount coupons  on your ad to captivate potential buyers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Promote QR code on all business materials. </strong>The code can be included on things like branded company vehicles, packaged items, tickets, receipts, leaflets, mail outs and so forth.  Once again, mobile users can scan it and link to your website. This is a typical example of encouraging buyers to buy more from you through your site.  In a way, it’s a cross-selling strategy to increase sales.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In conclusion, I hope you can really see huge value in what is QR code in terms of growing your business.  And if it happens to be available where you are based, then get one created for your business. The more marketing exposure you give your code, the more potential sales through your website.  And of course the higher you can increase your site <strong><a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/7-golden-rules-to-highly-increase-your-business-website-conversion-rate">Conversion Rate.</a></strong> That’s it!  Please feel free to leave a comment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ggle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-789" title="How To Install Google Analytics To Boost Your Website" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ggle-e1320718334342-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Google Analytics is a free tracking tool that allows you to examine and boost your website’s overall performance. And crucially, it helps you acquire statistics regarding your site visitors and ROI from your marketing campaigns. This post is about showing you how to install Google Analytics to monitor and enhance the effectiveness of your website. It’s quick and easy to set up.<span id="more-759"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Note:</strong> This post was updated on 27 July 2012. And if you are reading this post well after this date, the following information should still be relevant today. Because the methods or principles of installation are always the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 1 &#8211; </strong>Firstly, signup for a free Google Email Account (known as <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://mail.google.com">GMail</a></span></strong>)  if you don’t have one already.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 2 &#8211; </strong>Secondly, visit the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.Google.com/analytics">Google Analytics Webpage.</a></strong></span> Click on the Google Analytics sign in button. Then login with your GMail account details.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-1373" title="How To Install Google Analytics To Boost Your Website" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics11-e1343423778318.jpg" alt="" width="784" height="442" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 3 &#8211; </strong>Once you have completely logged in, click on create &#8216;New Account&#8217; button from your admin login panel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 4 &#8211; </strong>You are now ready to install Google Analytics on your website.  To begin creating your New Account, choose an account name (could be any name). Also enter your website address, country, time zone and so on. Then click &#8216;Create Account&#8217; to continue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 5 &#8211; </strong><strong> </strong>Once your account is fully created, the next page shows your google &#8216;Tracking Code&#8217; in javascript.  Just copy, paste and save the entire code to somewhere on your computer.  As you are going to need it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Step 6</strong> &#8211; Then click ‘Save and Finish’ from the tracking code page.  Your website performance profile should now appear on your screen.  And you can see from the &#8216;Status&#8217; bar that your &#8216;Tracking Code&#8217; is not verified yet.  It&#8217;s time to access your &#8216;Tracking Code&#8217; you saved on your computer.  As we are ready to use it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="text-align: justify;">Step 7 &#8211; </strong><strong style="text-align: justify;">NOTE:</strong><span style="text-align: justify;"> This step  is where you apply your &#8216;Tracking Code&#8217; on your website and it’s a very easy process.  However if you cannot do it yourself, copy and email the code to your webmaster or administrator. They can then apply the code on your website for you.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>To apply the tracking code yourself, access your webpages from your &#8216;html editor&#8217;.</strong>  Then copy and paste your code into each of the webpage you want to track. Paste your code immediately before the closing ‘Head’ tag of each webpage. And make sure you save your changes and upload to your web server.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>There are 2 quicker and easier ways to apply your tracking code on your website.<br />
</strong>Are you using wordpress for your site? If so, you can install Google Analytics plugin by Yoast on your website. This will allow you to enter your tracking code (only once) and all your webpages will automatically get tracked. Alternatively as shown below, you can easily paste the tracking code inside your site&#8217;s &#8216;Header.php&#8217; (before the closing &#8216;Head&#8217; tag). Either of these 2 ways will save you a lot of time. Because you only have to paste in the code once and all your webpages will automatically be getting tracked at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-769" title="How To Install Google Analytics To Boost Your Website" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics9.jpg" alt="Screenshot on how to paste google tracking code on a webpage before the closing 'Head' tag" width="879" height="458" srcset="https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics9.jpg 879w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics9-300x156.jpg 300w, https://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/G-analytics9-500x260.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px" /></a>That’s it, we are done! This is simply how to install Google Analytics in order to boost your <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.marketbusinessonline.com/7-golden-rules-to-highly-increase-your-business-website-conversion-rate/">Website Performance</a></strong></span> and your marketing campaigns. You now have to wait for about 24 hours for Google to approve your tracking &#8216;Status&#8217;. Once approved, you’ll start seeing your site’s traffic statistics and other relevant reports.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s pointless having a website on the internet with regular visitors, if they are not converting into customers. With that in mind, here are 7 website optimisation tips that can substantially boost your business online:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-199 size-full" title="7 Golden Rules To Highly Increase Your Business Website Conversion Rate" src="http://marketbusinessonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/webcr1.jpg" alt="High Website Conversion Rate Screen Demo" width="207" height="243" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #1 – Appearance Impact</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The way your website is laid out is crucial. Does it appear easy to read and understand? And when someone visits your site, do they have to click around to find specific information?   The point is if you want to increase your <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-reduce-bounce-rate-and-gain-more-customers/">website conversion rate,</a></span></strong> you need to make it as user-friendly as possible to your visitors.  For example, details such as location, prices and opening times should be easily accessible on your site.   No doubt, a site with an easy to follow layout creates a positive impact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides, it’s advisable that your site has your contact link above the fold.   What I mean by that is when a visitor lands on your website, they shouldn’t have to scroll down to access your contact details.  It must clearly appear towards the top of your site, particularly on your home page.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What about your website content?  Does it appear chunky or in short paragraghs for easy reading?   The thing is if potential customers land on a website and content is marshed up in chunky paragraphs, it’s very likely they’ll exit very quickly.  Because the site will give the impression it does not provide easy reading format but too much work to go through information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And there should be relevant graphics on your website representing the nature of your business. For example, scissors for a barbar or helmet representing  a builder. Visual images do not only consolidate appearance, but they provide instant message and emotional connection to targeted audience. The point is a positive appearance is certainly a key ingredient to increase website conversion rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #2 – Headline Ignition</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Is your headline captivating and communicating directly to exactly the customer’s problem?  And how it can be solved?  To market business online, your headline must get the visitors attention by speaking directly to their problem. You have to psychologically get inside the head of someone on the internet searching for your offer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s about putting in front of a customer exactly what they are looking for regarding your service.   In other words, what’s a visitor of your site looking to find to conclude you can fulfil their needs rather than someone else?  Let’s give an example of a bad and good headline.  I’m using two headline examples (below) about a “Plumber” based in the local area of “Romford”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(A) Bad Headline Example:   Plumber Based In Romford &#8211; Established 1994.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(B) Good Headline Example:   24 Hour Plumber Based In Romford.  No Fix, No Fee. Guaranteed To Arrive Within The Hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second headline (above) is great and ideal for website conversion optimisation.  Because it highlights the benefits to the customer who picks the service.  &#8216;No fix no fee&#8217; is a great benefit for someone who is looking for a trustworthy Plumber.  And in terms of internet marketing,  this type of method can be applied to any local business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #3 – Background</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On your website, is there any background information regarding your credibility as a genuine business?   In your local area, how long have you been established?  Any pictures of your premises or staff members appearing on videos?  For instance, a Beauty Therapist based in Romford local area could include on their website interior pictures of their premises. Certainly, establishing excellent business credibility and trust is a great way to optimise your website conversion rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #4 &#8211; Bullet Points</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When visitors access your site, they read your headline and generally scroll through bullet points prior to reading the rest of your contents.   The question is do you highlight on your website in bullet points the key benefits of your products or services?    By outlining major benefits of your business in bullet points will make you really stand out and grab the attention of potential customers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bullet points should really focus on key “benefits” not “features”.   Let me use a house as an example:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A double glazing window is a “feature” of a house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A double glazing window offers the “benefit” of high level of safety and security to a house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By highly focusing on explaining “benefits” of your business to your site visitors rather than “features” will ultimately enhance your website conversation rate.  To sell a service or products, ask yourself what benefits will someone get from using them and you ahead of your competitors?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #5 &#8211; Special Incentives</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To successfully market business online, consider what makes you the best choice ahead of your competitors.  Is it price?  Is it special irresistible offers?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">24 hour call out<br />
40% reduction &#8211; first haircut<br />
First lesson – Nothing To Pay<br />
Half an hour without paying on your first massage</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Special offers is the best way to attract customers to your local business, whatever you need to say. So offer some incentives, particularly for the first time they come to you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #6 &#8211; Comments</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regarding your business, are there testimonials from previous customers?  And I mean comments from past customers. As testimonials create social proof to people searching for a local business that past customers are satisfied with the level of service received.  You can paste video, audio or written customer testimonials onto your site. But video testimonials tend to be generally more powerful in terms of improving website conversion rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conversion Rule #7 – Attention Grabber</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The minute a visitor gains access to your site, does it really grab their attention? Your site needs to communicate to your prospects about their problem or pain point and that you have the solution. You need to create an emotional connection. Explain the benefits of using your business ahead of your competition in your local area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Having a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://marketbusinessonline.com/how-to-reduce-bounce-rate-and-gain-more-customers/">high conversion rate</a></strong></span> professional website is certainly the basis for your longterm business success online.   Until next time!</p>
