Historically, many people use the internet to
conduct research to help make their
buying decisions, but then they complete their purchase at a local retail
store.
The local business that provides the most desired
inventory and useful information online, has a better chance of
making the sale offline than its competitors.
Continue Analysis and Improve Offline Sales
One of the many benefits of applying search engine optimization to
your website is that you project the image that "This is the place to
find the answers to your questions and the solutions to your problems."
Site visitors may not be ready to commit to a
direct purchase online, but they may be convinced it is in their best
interest to contact you for further assistance rather than a competitor,
which you gives you the significant advantage of the first chance to
build a relationship and complete the sale.
At that point, it is vital that you provide a choice of contact
options, to suit a variety of tastes. Some of the best contact methods
to consider using include:
Retail "location finder," including contact information, map
and directions, to nearest local outlet for "in-person"
customer service
Online text or live "chat" - live customer support directly with
sales or customer service representatives
Local and/or toll-free telephone number for direct
access to live support
Direct e-mail links to sales or customer support
Submission forms to request information, ideally at bottom of
each page, to easily request additional information or
assistance
By providing the answers to your visitor's needs in an informative,
professional, easy to follow format, and offering a choice of options
that makes contacting you simple, you will have opportunities to turn
these online visitors into offline sales.
