What is Conversion Marketing / Conversion Rate Marketing?
Conversion Marketing also known as conversion rate marketing is the method you apply to take visitor traffic and convince them to take an action – like convert them into a buyer – that is considered a conversion rate.
Conversion Rate Formula:
# of Visitors / # of Goal Action = Conversion Rate
The goals for conversion rate marketing can vary based on your business model or product or service, but to ensure you have the best chance of making sales from those visitors, you will want to keep reading – because higher conversion rates means more sales.
The entire traffic to client conversion process involves many different steps. However, at a glance the following things must be present to ensure you have the best conversion marketing rate possible:
- Great product or service
- Targeted traffic
- Clear call to action
Short of those essentials, you may not reap the high conversions you expect based on industry standards. “Standard” conversion marketing rates vary based on several factors so it’s difficult to nail it down and say you should be matching. If all 3 of the above are true, then you should have high conversion rates on your site call to action.
Targeted traffic means that the content on your page is RELEVANT – let me repeat, RELEVANT, to what your visitors are looking for.
However, after you get them in your conversion marketing funnel, they should continue to be high converting if you play your cards right. Keep your content specific to their needs, and build their trust.
When they enter your funnel, you should begin to find even more out about their specific desires and needs. Then you give it to them. It’s that simple. You should be asking the questions in the form of buttons or calls to action within the email you send them.
Part of your conversion rate marketing funnel or leads to client funnel, should be your automated email campaign (autoresponders). In order to take people to your product or service to buy, you may need to offer some additional value that does one of the following things, we call this the buyer’s journey in inbound marketing.
Conversion Marketing for Inbound Marketing:
- Educate your prospect
- Make them aware that they have a problem or pain
- Introduce the benefits of your product or service in how it can end that pain
Whichever stage they’re in, they will tell you by how they respond to your email. You should have content and an automated email sequence going out from every point in their journey.
