Make it Easy to Purchase • From Encryption to Linking

Convincing the end user of your website to purchase your product can be a hard thing to master… but what if the end user is convinced to buy but doesn’t know how to buy? No matter how good you may be at convincing, the end user’s purchase will still be lost if they find the process cumbersome.

Concise Linking

Be sure to have a clear and concise order form available for the products on your website. Write a clear and concise message to direct the end user to your order form, so you will have minimal chance of losing the sale. Create a prominent link to your order page from every other page on your site.

Payment Options

Allowing the end user different payment options is a great way to earn trust. Some end users like certain payment options like PayPal while others may want to use their credit card or even a check. The more options you offer the end user the better your chances of making the sale.

Secured Encryption

Having numerous payment options is a good start but people also love to feel secure when it comes to their finances. Looking into SSL is one of the most cost-effective ways to help the end user feel confident in purchasing from your site. It is a great way to prove you are a credible merchant.

Customer Testimonials

Adding your contact information and customer testimonials is another great way to boost the end users confidence. Make them feel safe about purchasing your product. Remember you are a total stranger to them on the other side of the web.

Keep in mind that it would be horrible to put so much effort into making the sale to finally have it go awry in the end. Make sure to eliminate any possibilities of failure to maximize profit.
