President’s Message for May 2017<\/em><\/p>\n

The conversion of a web site visitor is a challenge for many, however when you follow some basic proven marketing principles, your site\u00a0will deliver the results you desire\u00a0\u2014 and the shift to an increased lead source can sometimes happen overnight!<\/p>\n

\"The
MECLabs Conversion Heuristic \u2014 www.meclabs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

THE WORDS YOU USE MATTER<\/strong>
\nAll consumers & buyers\u00a0are influenced by individual words, not whole phrases or sentences. Furthermore, certain words are more influential than others and as such, they guarantee better results because they simply resonate louder in their general relevance, value and proven effectiveness in generating interest and engagement.<\/p>\n

THE CONVERSION LIFT METHODOLOGY<\/strong>
\nFor those of you familiar with the codifying geniuses over at WiderFunnel, their “Lift” model goes something like this: Create\u00a0a strong value proposition, relevant to your target, and ensure there is lots of clarity within your message, and your overall conversion will have a lift in generating more new leads for your business.<\/p>\n

That all said, they also say that there are two things to avoid: “creating a distraction”<\/em> or “anxiety within your message”. <\/em>Those two conversion kills are to be minimized at every opportunity. In fact, it is proven that you will have more success by saying less to the target for this stage of the funnel.<\/p>\n


\nMARKETING TO DIFFERENT FUNNEL STAGES; aka\u00a0TIMING
\n\"Funnel<\/strong>For this stage of the funnel, a website visitor may be aware that they have a need or a problem; and they even may be aware that there is a solution available, but they are still looking for who’s business will be the right fit for them.<\/p>\n
