But how can you make sure that people who visit your website actually buy from you?  Simple, use persuasive online copywriting to tempt them by ensuring that by the time they’ve read the product’s description they are in love with the product and will add an extra gift to their basket for themselves too.

Well written and optimised product descriptions can make a huge difference to your sales. Many ecommerce websites have product descriptions which simply list the features of the product.

How to Make More Sales by Giving Your Customers Less Choice

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

You know how it is – you open the menu in a new restaurant and are bombarded with hundreds of different options. There’s every starter, main, side and desert dish that’s ever been cooked and all of them come with a complicated explanation. It takes ages to decide on a choice and when you finally order, you worry about whether you’ve made the right decision. The same scenario could be applied to filling in a survey, buying a coffee, going to the supermarket or choosing a holiday. Having too much choice can lead people to become anxious, confused or panicked and as a result they make no choice at all because it’s simply too difficult to make a decision.

The same is true if you sell products or a service online – too much choice can result in your customers making no choice at all and clicking away from your website without spending a penny. So how can you make sure you’re not bombarding your customers with too much information, especially if you sell a lot of products? Check out the top tips below…

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

1.       Tell the world about your team

If you have an outdated and flat Company History or About Us page then one way to liven this section of your website up is to introduce your staff. Ask each member of your team to complete a fun interview and take a picture of them doing their job, then upload these to your website. Now your customers will be able to see exactly who they’re dealing with and it’s a great opportunity to show the world your company is human and full of passionate and dedicated people.

Storytelling with Website Copywriting

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

When was the last time you heard a good story? It could be a funny anecdote that your friend told you or maybe some ludicrous gossip at work which had you hooked – either way, anything which gets you interested usually gets passed on. This is how viral marketing works. Someone creates a funny image or a thought provoking story and within minutes it is spread from person to person across the web. Imagine if you could have the same effect with your product or service – that’s a lot of extra people you could reach. The aim of effective website copywriting is to tell a story which inspires people to buy your product or sign up for your service. Even if what you’re selling is sold by other people across the internet and even if they sell it for a lower price – website copywriting can improve your sales no matter what you sell. So what’s the magic formula to make any product or service fly off the shelves? Simply write about it in such a way that people have to buy it from you.
