3 Must Have Onsite Conversion Tools: Yotpo, Toonimo and LiveChat
Written by Toonimo
Since its infancy, businesses have measured site traffic solely based on page views. With time, the development of digital marketing has shifted the methods of measure to include more onsite engagement and length of visit, and of course, conversion rate as critical metrics.
In the world of e-commerce and online businesses significant resources are invested in driving traffic to an online business site. Once the traffic does actually land on the site, the rate of onsite conversion spend is remarkably low. According to recent research, for every $92 a site spends on driving traffic to a website, businesses invest only $1 on increasing conversion potential and optimizing the site to boost sales. The difference between traffic to conversion is insane!
Why are companies leaving so much potential money on the table? If the customer is already visiting, half the battle is already done. The extra mile of converting them is providing them with a customer friendly experience that guides them through the funnel. In some ways, the onsite conversion efforts could be more important than the traffic.
Customer reviews are the most important testimonial an e-commerce business can find. Yotpo enables customers to leave and share their opinions about the products they've purchased. The tool brings the most valuable ones to the forefront of the site and shares the content to the various social channels. Additionally, the e-commerce site can then present these invaluable reviews in a visually appealing way for others to see. In short, Yotpo combines the value of customer testimonials and user generated content in a visually engaging way. As customer reviews grow, the company credibility grows. Positive feedback and positive consumer experiences are what Yotpo are all about.
What's great about Yotpo is that it not only enables a e-commerce business to streamline new reviews, the tool also enables seamless integration of existing ones. This great feature, combines with the immediate post purchase email to customers brings the real time marketing to the forefront of any business.
Toonimo
Clearly we're a bit biased but in the world of onsite conversion optimization, Toonimo offers some value that others don't. Toonimo enables a company to customize a character that will serve as a virtual salesman that responds to and engages with customer behaviors. Each page can be customized for specific triggers of onsite patterns. In short, Toonimo is like having a full time salesman without the overhead. The character is a virtual guide for customers to feel comfortable with their concerns and can walk visitors through the conversion funnel without feeling pressured.
This is by far one of the more popular onsite engagement tools. LiveChat integrates relatively easily on most sites and enables a small window to be placed at the bottom of the screen. LiveChat then becomes a great way for alleviating customer concerns by allowing them to ask any questions directly to a sales or customer service team.
The advantage of LiveChat is the real time engagement and interaction that customers and companies can maximize to convert more leads.
In Short
While money to generate and increase traffic is valuable, it doesn't always translate into sales growth. Companies should be focusing converting existing traffic and engaging visitors to stay longer on the site and increase the conversion potential.
