One – Make sure that your call to action is out front and specific

Many businesses lose out on customers because it is not made apparent what the business once the customer to do when it comes time to take the next step. This happens often with contact information that is placed at the bottom of a long scrolling page in small font. This may have been a hallmark of websites a generation ago, but it is definitely not conducive to web business today. People want to know exactly what to do when they are interested in a business.

The worst that can happen is that your customer does not click on the ad, but remarketing has had great success for the businesses that have implemented it.

Combine this with the constant influx of new businesses online, and you have a recipe for disaster if you keep your customer waiting. Get to the point of your interaction and cut down on the number of clicks that get your customer to that file conversion.

Four – Give your customer a reason to convert

Some customers may need another reason to take that final step. If they do, you should have a special offer or a coupon at the ready. You can target these customers through a mobile-based remarketing campaign initiated through a QR code.

Five – Talk to your customers about why they are not converting

You should also scour the Internet for unsolicited reviews of your business. Within these reviews will be the best answer as to why your potential customers do not convert.
