Conversion Rate Secrets via @FedEx & Internet Retailer Report | Must Market | Scoop.it
From smallbusiness.fedex.com - February 26, 2015 10:33 AM

This original research by Internet Retailer offers insights into whats driving growth in sales conversion among Americas leading web merchants.

Marty Note
Listening to David Payton discuss the cool conversion report FedEx created with Internet Retailer:

1. Free Shipping = top way to convert visitors to buyers.
Some will even opt for a slower time for free shipping. Some want ship to store. Free shipping is "essential" said VP Marketing David Payton at SMB Conference today.

2. Responsive = device agnostic.
The ability to see the site and have the site function across platforms is key. Company in David's slide deck saw a 40% increase in conversion from responsive design.

3. Email Marketing Still Matters
David's and FedEx's study shows email is still very important. Persoans and personalizing emails is key. No more batch and blast.

4. Ratings and Reviews
Ratings and reviews boost online sales 62%. David referenced a Bazaar Voice review. Add one product review = 10% product review. From 0 to 30 increase 30%, 0 reviews to 100 = 37% sales increase.

5. Loyalty
Easier to sell those who are already in the boat. Make sure you value and reward those who are loyal to you.

Internet marketing's "perpetual motion" machine is based on content creating community and, after winning hearts and minds, community becomes conversion.

Content, Community and Conversion dance a particular ballet. They are partners each contributing movement and beauty to the other. This Curatti post shares how one dancer supports the other with a simple yet complex goal - the self-perpetuation machine that happens as if by magic and helps create MORE from LESS.

Is Your Website Creating Information Parity or Disparity

Is Your Website Creating Information Parity or Disparity | Must Market | Scoop.it
From curatti.com - June 24, 2014 2:18 PM

Conversion Go Up When

Visitors arriving on your website have expectations and not all visitors are equal. Some may be "new" to your content. Others may be learning your content and a small group may be as expert about your site's content as you.



Feed "newbie" content to experts is a sure way to frustrate two people - the expert and the new to your content person who didn't get the content they needed. This post is about MAPPING your content to your visitors needs and expectations.



Why map? Meeting and exceeding your visitors' expectations builds trust and community. Conversions don't happen without TRUST and COMMUNITY.

Secret B2B Marketing Weapon? Better Landing Pages

Secret B2B Marketing Weapon? Better Landing Pages | Must Market | Scoop.it
From lunchpail.knotice.com - March 1, 2013 2:38 PM
In fact, more than half of top brand marketers include improving landing page visits as a goal. To celebrate ... Every click of your campaign should look great on iPhone, Android, iPad, Android tables, and across web browsers and email clients.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Better Landing Pages Make More Money
Great post with very specific landing page recommendations. Landing pages are the secret to great B2B online marketer. I ran across a statistic not long ago about the distance those with more landing pages had over those with fewer and it was significant.

Landing pages can be a marker for other heightened awareness and better marketing, but think about that stat for just a moment. The mere presence of MORE indicated the potential for leadership.

 

Combine MORE with BETTER and that is where real advantage lives.

Great recommendations indeed. Surely one of the fundamentals here is that more landing pages necessarily means the messages on them are more targeted (than fewer landing pages with more generic messages). More landing pages means they're more aligned with the email or ad that preceded them. Targeted communication pure and simple.
Martin (Marty) Smith's comment, March 4, 2013 8:04 PM
I think that is right. The Freakonomics of it say that MORE = more of a lot of things, more PPC, more emails and more landing pages. It is not a casual stat or it could be depending on the website. I also think more landing pages = IM team has their act better together (lol).
