How to get more sales? This is one of the most common questions we hear. While focusing on your email outreach strategy, it’s also necessary to keep an eye on your page visit rate. It may not be that apparent or even seem less important than the email open or click rate. However, it can show you if prospects browsed through your website’s pages, if they went through your signup or if they completed a purchase, ultimately showing your conversion rate. So increasing the page visit rate can bring you more sales.

Just imagine when you’re not yet sure whether you’re interested in the offered product or service, and it takes ages to load the page with delivery conditions, for example. Would you keep waiting, or would you give up and leave right there?Is it easy to navigate through your website?
Should your prospects want to check additional info (delivery conditions, customer reviews, feature descriptions, etc.), would it be easy to find it? Make sure that the menu buttons are clear and the navigation is user-friendly. You may want to add a search option too.Are the call-to-action buttons visible and engaging?
When browsing through your website, is it clear where to click to proceed to the purchase (or your conversion event)? As a potential customer, would you notice those buttons?
