Putting Ourselves in the Customer's Shoes

I selected this article from Curatti written by Andy Capaloff because it explains how to understand your customers from their perspective.

 

We need to provide the same level of customer service that we would want to receive.

 

Improve Your Customer Relationships

 

In order to be a successful business we need to reach our customers where they are at. I agree that you can create a better experience by understanding their needs and desires.

 

Capaloff explains how to get into the minds of your customers by putting yourself in their shoes.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Ask yourself the same questions a customer would ask. Things like, "would you buy from you?" and "do your own employees with discounts make purchases from your company?"

 

  • We are ultimately selling to people, and so we need to humanize our brand. That means we take care of the buyer before and after the sale.

 

  • The customer experience is important no matter what size your business is. Make it easy for them to make a purchase with a helpful attitude.

Understanding the Difference Between #B2B and #B2C in eCommerce

Understanding the Difference Between #B2B and #B2C in eCommerce | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
There was once a very clear distinction between B2B services and B2C retailers. But with the advent of digital eCommerce stores, the two have taken on some similar traits. It’s important to identify the distinctions between B2B and B2C eCommerce when molding your own business. You especially need to consider how customers interact with yourMore

I selected this article from Curatti written by Patrick Foster
 because it explains the difference between B2B and B2C in eCommerce.

 

It's important to know how and why customers interact on your business website.

 

The Difference Between Buyer Journeys and Customers

 

When building a business in the digital age you need to understand how your prospects are making purchasing decisions and why. I agree that both B2B and B2C play into eCommerce websites.

 

Foster explains what causes your customers to make a purchase and how to improve your approach.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • In B2B purchasing there is always a problem that needs to be solved within a business. Buyers in this situation want to look for the best deal and product or service for their employers.

 

  • A B2C website is usually aimed at capturing the reader's attention right away. The next step is to convince them to make a purchase.

 

  • It takes account management to make a B2B sale work along with relationship management. In B2C it's all about customer service and followup via email.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Katherine Crayon
 because it shows you how your website design can impact your business sales.

 

The look of your eCommerce website directly affects your business's revenue.

 

Attract More Customers with a Better Website Design

 

To convert your leads into sales your website needs to immediately attract visitors. I agree that both optimization and design work together to achieve this goal.

 

Crayon explains 10 different ways your eCommerce business can make improvements to your website.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • You can track down your conversion problems by conducting a conversion audit. It is well worth the investment in order to find out where the holes are in your website.

 

  • A slow loading speed will drive prospects away. Make sure all of your pages load quickly and that it is easy for your visitors to find your products.

 

  • People use various devices to access websites. Find out which ones your visitors use including clicks and scrolling activity.

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Once you grasp the attention of your visitors with a mixture of eclectic content you can attract more leads for future sales. Includes stories from your target market along with original photos.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Toby Dean because it provides recommendations on how to be successful in online marketing.

 

Having the right knowledge can boost your online sales results.

 

Improve Your Online Marketing Strategy

 

Running a business online can be a challenge if you are not armed with the right information and tools. I agree that in order to gain momentum you need to understand the right methods.

 

Dean shows an infographic from Hosting Facts that covers facts on the Internet, picking a domain name, websites and hosting, eCommerce, and mobile.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • A little under half of all Internet users are from Asia. Bermuda has the highest Internet penetration -- most people there are online.

 

  • Using a .com extension for a domain name is still the best method. There are over 123 million registered .com domains names.

 

  • Increasing your website speed can help your conversion rates improve by 74 percent. Just 8 to 2 seconds will help you attract more sales.

Targeted Advertising Moves To Screens In Back Seats Of Rideshare Cars

Targeted Advertising Moves To Screens In Back Seats Of Rideshare Cars | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
Much of the focus of connected cars or autonomous driving is on details around how the car will be networked and avoid accidents along with various aspects of reliability and security.

If all that gets resolved, the marketing focus will shift to how to better serve the ‘driver’ in a self-driving car.

An early, rudimentary version of in-car video marketing can be seen in most New York taxis, where TV-type screens in the back seat play and promote to captive passengers, until they press the mute or off button.

The eCommerce Guide to Social, Local & Mobile [Infographic] | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it

SoLoMo, short for “social-local-mobile,” is essentially the addition of local information to search engine results in order to capitalize on the increasing use of mobile devices.

 

SoLoMo has also evolved to include mobile-specific offers pushed out to consumers based on their current location. If you are among the growing population that now has smart phones, you have no doubt seen and even taken advantage of these kinds of offers.

In this infographic from Monetate, learn how SoLoMo is having an overall impact on traditional eCommerce, and how consumers are using their smartphones to access social and local sites which ultimately influence purchases. It also also touches on the showrooming effect, providing retailers a guide to making the most out of SoLoMo opportunities.

#eCommerce: Las #pymes se abren paso: claves para que tu empresa venda en internet

#eCommerce: Las #pymes se abren paso: claves para que tu empresa venda en internet | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
Según los datos oficiales de la Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), el comercio electrónico creció nada menos que un 20,3% en el último año. De hecho, en los últimos seis años dicho crecimiento nunca ha bajado del 20%, con lo que no se trata de un crecimiento aislado ni puntual precisamente, sino de una tendencia consolidada que, año tras año, no para de crecer.

En el sector del 'ecommerce' hay dos mitos que conviene desmentir. El primero, que solo las grandes plataformas multinacionales son capaces de vender 'online'. El segundo, que quizá las pymes tuvieron su oportunidad hace una década, pero que a día de hoy ya no están a tiempo de subirse al carro.

You can reach your prospects through specific SMS strategies.

 

Exploring the Mobile SMS Marketing Method

 

When a business sends out a marketing text message it can get either get deleted or missed. I agree that your customers will respond as you reach them with the right approach.

 

Forrest shows you several ways to improve your SMS marketing strategy for more sales.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • You will have more coupon redemption rates if you are sending a message to an email subscriber. On demand coupons have an even greater response.

 

  • Because almost all customers own a mobile phone it is very easy to have them act upon a promotion sent via text. People can store these in their phone and easily access them for later.

 

  • Tailor your coupons for every day consumer related products. Be sure to personalize the message and send 3 to 4 texts a month.

Your Website May Be Lagging Behind

 

To convert your subscribers your website needs to run efficiently for your visitors. I agree that a poor execution will drive down precious sales.

 

Harman provides an explanation on how this can directly affect your bottom line.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • A website that crashes due to a lack of scalability will lose customers. This is enough to send them shopping at the competition instead.

 

  • You can go out of business if too many potential buyers are leaving. This will impact your marketing campaign as well if you're not keeping up with the demand.

 

  • A poorly run website could lose loyal customers. Repeat buyers are the bread and better to many online businesses.

  • Users prefer to watch videos over just viewing images. This will increase your sales by at least 64 to 85 percent. This also increases the length of time a visitor stays on a website.

 

  • The colors of your website do have an effect on 85 percent of shoppers. Take a look at your demographics and target market to determine which color schemes work best.

Hunt shows us that the right information and metrics can provide a solid measurement baseline for improvement.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • In the first test the number of sales increased after removing the promo code block. Customers left the website to search for deal codes on Google.

 

  • During the third test revenue increased slightly when competitors' higher prices were placed next to the lower prices. If you prices are only slightly higher then you may lose your customers to the competition.

 

  • The fifth experiment involved placing video on the landing page. The conversion rates increased by 4 percent -- using visuals can help your bottom line.
