Prospects
Extra Confidence
Give
your prospects extra confidence so they will order. Use endorsements,
testimonials, a strong guarantee or warranty, etc. For example, you
could say, "I'm going to allow you to try out our product for a full 60
days without billing your card!"
Build
your opt-in list by allowing your visitors to sign up for a free
e-zine, e-books, software, contests, sweepstakes, etc. For example, you
could say, "Subscribe to our free e-zine and get entry into our weekly
contest!” Another example would be,
"Sign up to our free newsletter and get 10 surprise
bonuses!”
Give
your prospects or customers a breath of fresh air. Don't be afraid to
design your web site and ad copies to be different from everyone
else’s. For example, you could apply a circus theme to your web site.
Another example would be to design your web site like an e-book with a
table of contents, title page, glossary, etc.
Allow
your customers to get part of your total offer right after they order.
If you have to ship the item, make one of your bonuses available
online. For example, if you are selling a printed book, you could have
an online version available for them to read right after they order.
Write
and submit articles to e-zine publishers or webmasters. If you want it
to be published, it should read like an article and not like an ad. You
could also offer the publisher extra incentives like giving them a
freebie, affiliate commissions, compliments, original content, etc.
People
want to gain pleasure. They may want to satisfy their appetite or
sexual desires. This will make them feel more fulfilled. Tell your
prospects how much pleasure your product or service will give them. For
example, you could say, "Our product will fulfill your cravings for
rich, delicious chocolate."
Express
the same views as your target audience. Bring up common likes and
dislikes in your ad. This will create instant rapport with your
audience. For example, you could say, "You, like me, know it's very
important to find a good bargain." Another example, "Both of us know
that money doesn't grow on trees."
Add
viral marketing into your promotional plans. Allow your visitors to
give away your free things, just include your ad somewhere on all the
freebies. By giving away one freebie with your ad on it, it could be
passed on to thousands, if not millions, of people and web sites.
Design
your web site to be less confusing. Don't use a lot of graphics, links
or anything that takes away from your sales message. People will get
frustrated and want to leave your web site if they get confused. People
want an enjoyable and relaxing experience when they visit your web
site. If they don't get that, they may never come back.
