30. 1 Rule to MAKE your website really work
We’ve just met
Will you marry me?
31. Most Visitors are not ready to enquire
80% or more of your website visitors wont be
ready to make an enquiry
So if you’re not catering for them
Your loosing the bulk of your website visitors
32. It’s a MAJOR oversight
96% of attendees to this webinar have no compelling soft
offer on their website!
33. Let me clarify
A soft offer or Call To Action (CTA)
Something compelling, engaging and free
Available instantly or in a few seconds
That’s valuable to the visitor
In exchange for basic visitors data
Starting the relationship
35. The initial CTA was nicely
worded –
However it leads to a form
with 16 fields. Realistically
very few visitors will fill this
in.
As a general rule of thumb
you loose 5-10% of visitors
per question you ask
depending on the strength
of the offer
37. Nicely worded with clear benefit, bright colours and
urgency - sadly it did nothing when you clicked the box
This could be improved by offering a free guide or
eBook on the topic, building your inbound model.
43. Plain Text
Reasons For
Easy to create – type and send
Consistent display across devices
Can ‘feel’ more personal than HTML emails
May be less ‘salesy’
Reasons Against
No colours or graphics
No links or ‘click here’
Hard to design and format
Tracking becomes more complex
44. HTML
With HTML Emails you can do more
• Track which emails are opened and by whom
• Use images, colours, design and branding
• Responsive design
• Interactive response
46. Subject Lines
• Always write 4 subject lines
• Keep it short, ideally below 50 characters
• Avoid spam words like – Free, Offer, Save, Help, Percent Off,
Reminder
• Inform your reader what they can expect from your email.
• Add their name into the subject line
• Personalise by industry or geographic area, for example
Accountants in Derby or Tax Review for Derby Vets
• Create urgency using words like Alert, Breaking, Update etc.

Hinweis der Redaktion
A few of our listerners are from Ireland – you will be pleased to know our Irish App version is in the process of being built. Some of you are global, if you are from Australia then its great news for you is we are launching at the moment into AU in testing mode.
If you already have an App which I know a handful of you do don’t switch off here – its likely that your app wont do what we are about to reveal. What's more, you are possibly not using it in the right way – (its hidden on your website – flyers etc)
The very thing we thought we would have to work at – was driven by the end users.
Suddenly instead of selling they were coming to the accountants, they were downloading the App, they were calling accountancy firms to Thank Them for the App and they were suggesting improvements. They also were excited by what the App could enable them to do, and they wanted to share the journey.
OVER 40, 000 end users
And we built it
HAND OUT APP FLYERS AS AN EXAMPLE
I asked my team to review the websites of the first 50 accountancy firms who registered for this webinar and had a live website. Only 3 had a Call To Action that had some genuine thought around it and even in these 3 cases there is much more that can be done to improve
Here is one of the 3 – if you are on this webinar then the good news is you have made a start.
The original CTA is a little weak and lacking in benefits – the landing page is better and has minial form data requested good work
Once your site is effective and ready to actually convert visitors to enquiries its now about increasing traffic through email marketing and later Push Messages
So we use PT emails if we want to send a short message that does not require muiltiple links. There are perfectly suited to personalised, direct messages with one offer.
Hypertext Markup Language
Two for the first email and 2 for the re-send) using AB testing
Here is an example offering a free report
You can do the same with a Tax Guide, Profit Guide, etc etc
