I want you to think about something for a minute - actually one of your own experiences.
The last time you wanted to buy something offline you went to a business that had a fixed address. You got to be touchy-feely with the item. You had questions and there was someone there to talk to face to face. You saw their return policy and felt confident that if you returned the next day for a refund they would be there, and you would get it right away. You swiped your credit card and all was secure.
Now how about an online purchase.....how many times have you had hesitations. How much bad press is out there about using your credit card online. How many horror stories are there about not getting refunds, or worse yet, not even receiving the product. And how many don't even respond to inquiries by email...heck most don't even publish a contact phone number.
Is it any wonder that there are more visitors than purchasers at web sites?
So what is the answer?
Credibility...and there are only 2 ways to get it.
A proven track record of many years of rock solid business transactions, but as the Internet is so young and unless you are a marketing giant, this rules out 99% of the web sites.
Do as many professionals do - join an association that in itself speaks to the world and tells them that you are a respected, honorable, and honest business to deal with - in simple words - you are professional and can be trusted.
Bottom line is: credibility/trust = sales
You can have that credibility right now - it is only a couple of clicks away - and what is even better it is FREE.
You are hereby cordially invited to become a member of The Web Marketers Association The most professional and prestigious organization on the Internet representing web marketers.
Web Marketers Association provides you with a simple solution for your problems. We are an Industry Association that is streamlined and geared specifically for online business.
When you join Web Marketers Association, you are part of a members association that upholds the highest standards of Internet marketing and agree to adhere to a set of business standards and practices that will instill trust.
Now, I know you're probably skeptical. That's normal and healthy. Let me give you 3 good reasons we can back up what we claim:
3 ways Web Marketers Association compels your buyers to trust you
The seal of approval------- Distinguishes you from your competition by showing people you follow superior ethical business practices.
Trusted member of Association – buyers will know that you are a member of a trusted, highly respected professional Association that upholds ethical business practices on the net.
Continuous and accurate monitoring ------potential buyers can check that you are a member of good standing at any time by clicking on the association icon on your site and trust you unconditionally
Here’s how Web Marketers Association will substantially increase your Sales
Tests have shown that by having a business seal of approval on your site and belonging to a respected trade association, sales increase by 15% or more --------- Absolute proof that credibility will dramatically increase your sales ... up until now you had to belong to an offline trade association.
Unconditional confidence in your company. ……Will make your profits soar.
Potential buyers see proof of your credentials ------ When a buyer trusts your company and sees you are a professional business they will have complete confidence to buy from you.
What’s the lifetime value of your customers?
Usually it is multiples of one or two typical sales. It could be as high as $500. So losing one sale could cost you a customer worth $500 to you in long-term profits.
Other sites charge a fee to carry a web seal of approval which varies from $19.95 to $39.95 per MONTH and more.
We could reasonably charge $500 a year for membership and it would be worth it because, even if it saved you one customer, it would pay for the membership itself. ....BUT you can become a member and gain this benefit for FREE.
