Is Your Web site..'Over-stocked'?..'Under-stocked'? Or 'Just Right'? copyright 2002 John EvansIs your website selling? When it comes to selling on internet, we've all heard many ideas on "The Only" way to do it. Some say to have a "Direct Sale" web site, with just 1 or 2 sales pages, and an order page. The idea being that if you put too many choices in front of your visitors, they could become 'information over-loaded', and make only one choice - Leave! But, with only 1 or 2 items to choose from, they have only 3 choices; buy, bookmark, or leave. Simple! On other hand, there are visitors who WANT more than one choice, and just love sites that are filled to brim. I think it depends mainly on what it is they're looking for in first place; opportunities, or freebies. Ultimately, we can't know what everyone wants, so why not try each method?
