How do you get visitors to stay longer on your web pages?
Several years ago websites didn't involve much interaction with visitors. They simply visited the website read the information, purchased a product or subscribed then left. Nowadays visitors want more interaction. This is one of the reasons blogs became so popular. Large offline stores such as BestBuy, Macys etc are now using social media applications.
Top 10 ways to make your web pages more interactive
1. Add a blog
A blog can easily be added to your current website by placing it in a sub domain or a subdirectory. Visitors can interact with your blog by leaving a comment, subscribing to RSS feeds or a newsletter.
2. Forum
Forums enable visitors to ask questions and receive answers from people who have similar interests. Sometimes a conversation can start on a thread that continues for weeks. A forum can easily be added to your main site as a sub domain or in a subdirectory.
3. Chat
You often see chat windows on ecommerce sites so the visitor can engage with customer service immediately without leaving the website.
4. Ezine or Newsletter
This helps establish long term relationships with your website visitors. If you offer valuable information by consistently sending out your ezine, weekly or biweekly your customers will get to know, like and trust you. They will be more open to product recommendations.
5. Autoresponders
It's a general rule that your customer needs to be contacted at least 7 times before they purchase your product. An autoresponder allows you to automatically send email messages every day or every few days. The beauty of this method is that you can set it and forget it.
6. Mini ecourse
Ecourses are like a small tutorial where you send a new lesson every few days using an autoresponder. By educating your customer they will be more inclined to purchase your products.
7. YouTube
Not all people like to read text online. Some are visual learners. Adding a video to your website enables visitors to listen and watch your content.
8. Podcast
A podcast is an MP3 file of your content that a person can download from your website. They can listen to it on their computer at a later time or download it to their ipod and listen in the car or while they're exercising.
9. Twitter and Facebook
These 2 applications can easily be incorporated into your website so visitors can automatically be added to your accounts by clicking on the icons. Whenever you have new content visitors can sign up for these sites and be instantly notified.
