Do you ever consider why stores like Walmart are so successful?
Besides the low prices, consider the appeal of a Walmart store to shoppers. When you enter the store, advertised specials are often at the front where they will be immediately noticed for converting sales and attracting impulse buyers. The isles are grouped with merchandise that is similar and clearly labeled to facilitate ease of shopping. There is plenty of room between the isles so that shoppers do not get cramped, frustrated and confused. It is easy to check out and there are always enticing extras like candy, cold drinks and magazines at the register that you can add to your purchase.
A successful website design layout that is conducive to browsing your site and buying, should be similar to a Walmart store in these ways:
- Important content that you want your visitors to notice should be before the fold – email subscription forms, time limited offers, free incentives for a consultation or appointment are good examples.
- Avoid overwhelming your visitors with too much information on your home page. Give them little teasers to important content with a link to more. Then a detail page can give them all the important information focused on that content including a specific conversion.
- Allow plenty of white space between different areas of content. Visual appeal of your content is almost as important as your message in the website content.
- Use headings with H tags to draw attention to particular areas of content. Headings are like signage used in a store to draw attention to particular products. People scan content on the web and often the headings is all they read. If headings are engaging, it will draw them in to more detailed information for making a buying decision.
- Whenever possible, incorporate relevant keywords that your market is searching into your headings and content. This will help search engines to drive your ideal customers to your website content.
- Make it easy for your visitor to move around your site. Make the navigation on the top and bottom consistent and never make your visitor have to click the back button to return to a certain page.
- Make it easy for your visitor to complete the conversion goal. This might be to add a product to their cart, view their cart, add related products and check out. It might be to subscribe to an email list or request a quote. It should only be one specific action on a page – giving your buyer choices to subscribe or buy at the same time is likely to confuse them. It is a fact that a confused shopper seldom buys. If they fail to buy your product and attempt to leave your site, it is perfectly acceptable and desirable to give them a pop up to an email form. Capturing them into your list is the next best thing to losing them from your site and gives you more opportunities to remind them about you. Not everyone is ready to buy right away and email marketing is a very smart strategy for converting people in your list at a later time.
