And this is not surprising: to survive, a business needs to take customers through its conversion funnel but unfortunately, this is far from being easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, website conversion rate is usually only around 2%. This means that out of every 100 people that end up on your website, only 2 end up making the purchase. For many businesses, depending on the niche and the competition, this number can be even lower.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are a number of <em>actionable strategies<\/em> that businesses can implement to <strong>drive conversions<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before we get into that, let\u2019s cover in some detail why conversion rate optimization matters anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do We Still Talk About Conversion Rates?<\/h2>\n<p>There are certain factors that play into the increased sales of your business. Yet, most online businesses still suffer losses without realizing how a low conversion rate can influence overall business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, why is a website&#8217;s conversion rate still a crucial point when it comes to business growth?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It helps <em>reduce user\/customer acquisition costs<\/em>. Whether you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/respona.com\/blog\/saas-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SaaS company<\/a> or a food business, improving conversion rate can do all the magic.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>It <em>increases revenue per user\/customer<\/em>. On the flip side, you benefit even more by earning more money. While you may think that losing a couple of customers won\u2019t do any harm, increasing gains per visitor will boost your sales in the long-term.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Helps <em>build your business brand<\/em>. If you aim to go even further and take your business to the next level, you need to do this step-by-step. And, the number one move is <strong>improving conversion rate<\/strong> optimization to get more customers and recognition in the market.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, how do you boost your <strong>business conversion optimization<\/strong> in just a few simple steps? Is it done right from your landing page or you should create a special sales page?<\/p>\n<p>Even though it has its challenges, it\u2019s not as complex as it may seem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Drive Conversions In Just 8 Steps?<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use A\/B Testing to Get Past Average Conversion Rate<\/h3>\n<p>Experimenting is the only way to find out what your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/blog\/target-audience-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">target audience<\/a> likes or doesn\u2019t like. A\/B testing is one of the most beloved strategies to understand whether your value proposition is good enough.<\/p>\n<p>It is a method of comparing two (or more) different versions of the same asset to see which one performs better. <\/p>\n<p>With this method, you can test headlines, text and visual styles, colors, content length, call to action buttons, sign-ups, and then compare the engagement to see which of the versions performed better.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw.png\" alt=\"A\/B testing drive conversions\" class=\"wp-image-5123\" width=\"539\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw.png 1400w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-50x24.png 50w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-288x140.png 288w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-576x279.png 576w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-339x164.png 339w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-678x329.png 678w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-373x181.png 373w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-746x362.png 746w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-691x335.png 691w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-1382x670.png 1382w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-973x472.png 973w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-1048x508.png 1048w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-478x232.png 478w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-956x464.png 956w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-516x250.png 516w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-1032x501.png 1032w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-680x330.png 680w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1__ruadenh3z3ncpkzldzmtw-1360x660.png 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A\/B Testing from <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/isa-vit\/a-b-testing-72ecc4bde61c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Medium<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The key to <strong>A\/B testing<\/strong> is to change only one thing in your promotional material for the results to be accurate.

As a result, people often turn to product videos to find more information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Research shows that 63% of customers watch a product video before making a purchase and are 84% more likely to actually make the purchase. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This simply means that videos are your number one tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/5-proven-steps-of-conversion-optimization-from-a-growth-expert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conversion optimization<\/a> and average order value boost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Sortlist and how to accept an opportunity as an agency ?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5DVOxsV3mvI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Another benefit of product videos, apart from building trust towards the brand and boosting sales, is that videos increase the time people spend on your site. This sends a signal to Google that people find your website interesting, which in turn results in higher rankings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While you may have an extremely well-trained sales team, adding a specific video marketing strategy will help even more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Social Proof<\/h3>\n<p>In fact, 91% of customers read online reviews before making a purchase!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Because they are based on trust, reviews are critical for any brand that operates in the digital space.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How can you achieve this? Adding a 5-star rating system to product landing pages or incorporating customer testimonials in special form fields can influence user behavior, affect decision-making, and bring more conversions. Working with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/i\/web-design\/france-fr\">web design agency<\/a> can help you effectively implement these strategies.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Send Email Reminders About The Abandoned Carts<\/h3>\n<p>If you have an online store, you are probably aware of the cart abandonment issue: people come to your site, browse the products, add them to the cart, and leave without making the purchase. This is common for most websites: the bounce rate is around 69% across all industries.<\/p>\n<p>When designing your marketing campaigns, you shouldn\u2019t forget these potential customers. Make sure to send them a cart abandonment email not long after they\u2019ve left your site, ideally in 1-2 days.<\/p>\n<p>You can even offer a small discount or a shipping fee reduction, whichever suits you to attract them back. In some cases, you can also offer free shipping to gain their trust even more. Because the customers initially found the product attractive, there is a high chance that they will come back and finalize the purchase. If you&#8217;re looking to enhance your online store&#8217;s effectiveness, consider investing in professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/web-design\/dubai-ae\">website design in Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>The work towards boosting the sales of your brand is an ongoing and long process, during which you should keep on learning more about your customers.<\/p>\n<p>Take a step back and look at their brand from their point of view. What would keep website visitors attracted?<\/p>\n<p>Understand this, and you can then use some of the techniques we\u2019ve discussed in this article to show them the benefits of your brand. For instance, effective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.co.uk\/web-design\/liverpool-england-gb\">web design in Liverpool<\/a> can play a pivotal role in attracting and retaining visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a business, chances are, you aim to attract customers and drive conversions.
