There are two main ways of increasing your percentage of customers. One is to keep the visitor at your website longer. The other is to keep the visitor coming back. But how do you keep them there long enough to increase your chances of making a sale? And how do you get them to return to your website again?

Most website visitors have so many opportunities to investigate online that they do not spend much time on any one site unless there is a good reason to stay longer. And they will not likely return either. The longer a visitor stays is what increases your chances of them making a purchase from you. Getting the visitor to return also gives you a better chance of a sale. So what you need to do is find ways to keep them there longer and encourage them to return so that they will consider your product more seriously.

One good tip is to grab their attention with information that will benefit them or be of interest to them. For example, offer them facts about a related subject of your product. If you are selling rabbit supplies, give them helpful hints or interesting information about rabbits. By giving them some free information they not only will stay longer, they also may return again for more information, making a purchase even more likely. It is also an advantage to you if the visitor sees you as an expert on the subject.

Interaction is another plus to keep visitors at your site. People love to interact on a website. Give them an opportunity to share their opinion, participate in a poll, or play a game related to your subject. They are all ideas to keep the visitor at your website and it will be more probable that they will return again, increasing your chances of making a sale.

Another tip is to find a way to be able to contact them. By offering something free, you will be able to get their e-mail or other contact information. You will then be able to keep them current with your sales or new products. Maybe just send them a reminder to check your website again. The more they see your name, the more comfortable they will be doing business with you.

Advertising your products or services online is great but can be expensive and time consuming. By using these tips to keep your visitors longer and encouraging them to return to your website, you will make your costs and efforts worthwhile. It is sure to turn more visitors into customers.
