The website which has valuable content
visitor is looking for produces a pleasant experience for her. By pre-selling she is made to develop trust in
website and
webmaster and will look at
recommendations with an open mind. Once
visitor decides to buy,
website should ensue that she does not face any problems in making actual purchase. The links provided for
order page should work properly and
whole process should be kept simple. It will be very unfortunate if
prospective buyer calls off
purchase only because she finds that
ordering process does not work.
How will your website appear to your visitor? That is an important question which should be asked often. Try to visualize yourself as a first-time visitor to your site. Then see you site as if you looking at it for
first time. How does it appear? Does your headline create a curiosity? Are you drawn towards
main content or other features of your site grab your attention? Is your main content "readable", interesting and not a sermon? How far does it succeed in pre-selling?
Ask your friends to see your website and give their opinion on these and other questions. Website building is a dynamic process and is never complete or perfect. But whatever changes are made, they should enhance its pre-selling ability. It is good idea to actually test
website after changes are made. Any change which tends to reduce
traffic needs to be modified. The changes should gradually refine
website to attract more visitors.
Pre-selling should be seen as a service to satisfy
needs of
visitors who arrive at
website. It should be considered as
first step before actual sale. Pre-selling forms a bond, an understanding built on trust between
seller and
prospective buyer which eases
process of actual sale.
