Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Show this video on my queue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sk7cOqB9Dk All the effort that you put in to preparing your business to sell online can be undone with a poor customer experience. Today, I’m going to give you practical advice on how to avoid problems like those in the video.
  2. Ladies and gentelmen, I present Dropbox! They were spending $300 on adwords for every $99 sale that they made. That’s what I call a negative ROI.
  3. This story is important to show how to market and target a vision before even building a product.
  4. http://www.businessinsider.com/inside-groupon-the-truth-about-the-worlds-most-controversial-company-2011-10
  5. I like this story because it talks about e-commerce and starting with a Wordpress Blog, which everyone should be able to relate to.
  6. https://growthhackers.com/growth-studies/airbnb Good story about being creative with their own skillset to get something bigger off the ground
  7. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66361?hl=en
  8. http://www.sproutcontent.com/blog/19-Reasons-Why-Your-Business-Should-Be-Writing-a-Blog
  9. Let’s look at some obvious examples of original content to highlight the point. First one provides useful information about how the product functions and has a person’s full name. The second one mentions a rusty bolt, which can only happen if it’s been wet consistently for a while and has a first name and last initial. The other criticism’s don’t add much useful information upon which the buyer can base their decision.
  10. People should know that Google is the leader and companies fight tooth and nail for the ogranic (or free) positions at the top of the results.
  11. Google says most popular "how-to" searches include home-improvement, beauty and cooking related videos.
  12. Same scenario, but this time real estate agents. Look at how many ads and how competitive this page is. Cost is probably $20 per click
  13. On videos page, only 3 ads from homelight, agent pronto and toby rinehart. But organic results are Fox 5 Atlanta and 2 videos from SellinTheATL.
  14. And can be done by geographic boundaries for local businesses!
  15. What was the take-away? All the hard work you do to bring buyers to your website might be in vain if you don’t create the right customer experience to buy.
  16. Does anyone miss hailing a cab in the rain or the cold or the heat?  And how about having a taxi that doesn’t take credit cards? These are examples of having a great customer experience transforming people’s buying habits.
  17. Do you like fumbling for cash or a credit card to hand over to the driver or prefer just getting out of the taxi and being billed for the trip?
  18. These are the top trends for 2016 and contribute to a great customer experience
  19. http://business.time.com/2013/09/20/why-retailers-have-stopped-freaking-out-about-showrooming/
  20. It’s Interior Define, a retail store where you can touch and feel the options to create a custom sofa.
  21. At Interior Define, you go to the store to touch and feel, then go home and place your order online. It’s called e-tailing and is a major trend
  22. Bonobos also is a retail experience where you can later go online to place an order. This is something new that comes as a response to showrooming.
