Hudson Valley Women in Business: Conversion Rate Optimization
Monday, June 13, 2022 • 6pm • Cost: $15 • Zoom • Are visitors to your website staying long enough to BUY? How do you encourage them to stick around? Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take the desired action — subscribe to a mailing list, request a quote, complete a purchase, fill out personal information, etc. Most viewers spend around two seconds on your website page, and there's an art to determining what your customer needs to see and feel in order for you to sell to them. Getting them to stay requires connecting to their buying motivations and enhancing their online experience. Learn how to do both from this month's speaker, Lauren Johnson of The Hyacinth Group. She'll provide step-by-step visuals to walk you through and there will be plenty of time to ask your specific questions. • http://HVWiB.com/events
