Ways to Strengthen your Online Business: Strategy 1

Before we start our online business, we have to come up with a good business plan. A good business plan contains the company’s goals and how can the company achieve those goals. A business plan can never be stagnant. It is constantly reviewed and examined with the site’s traffic stats and sales figures. With the aid of these things, an entrepreneur is able to spot new opportunities for the business, identify and resolve problems, and incorporate new goals and strategies into the business.

A wise entrepreneur is always on the lookout for different ways to improve success and get more profits. That is the reason why coming up with a business plan is important. In this, series we will look at three strategies that will help your business get the profit it needs.

Strategy 1: Improve the sales process and convert relevant traffic into sales

Let us try to answer these questions:

• Do you get regular traffic on your site?
• How long do visitors stay on your site?
• How many of your visitors purchase?

The best way to improve your sales is to look into your website statistics. Statistics that we are talking about would be the traffic your site is getting, how many people travel through your site, which pages are the most popular, and where your visitors are coming from.

If we are to analyze these things, together with sales and your online promotion you would be able to figure out the portion of traffic that is actually converted into sales, and which promotions is working for your business. In short, you will get an overall picture of what needs to be changed, and what needs to be improved.

Say for example your site is getting massive amounts of traffic but your sales are low, the sales process needs to be modified. Try revising your website’s sales letter and order form.

Sales letter. If visitors are leaving your page without even going to your order form then your sales letter is not at all good. We have to change this part of your website and make it more compelling to visitors. The headline of your sales letter should persuade your target market and should contain the benefits of your product.

Order form. Make your customers life simple. Do not give them a hard time when they are placing their orders. Make sure that the ordering process is easy enough to understand and that you provide a systematic guide that will help the customers through the entire order process.
