What to Call Your Call to Action
Should you say ‘read more’ or ‘product information’ in your product category view? Which is better – ‘add to cart’ or ‘buy now’?

What did you do last Sunday? Well I had breakfast with Brian Massey, The Conversion Scientist.
The easier your website is to use, the more people use it. An essential part of “easy to use” is intuitiveness. Intuitive design means that when a user sees it, they know exactly what to do.
People will not buy your stuff on their first visit. The more expensive and/or complicated the product, the more time they need to think and decide.
People like to buy from people and businesses they know and like. This is why it’s a good idea to capture emails and build a relationship before you even ask them to buy anything. This post is about getting the most out of your relationship building efforts with your email list.
If you want to double your results, you can either double the number of visitors (very expensive), double the conversion rate (possible, but increasingly harder as there’s a max limit to your conversion rate) or double repeat purchases – loyalty.
What if there were a method—even a process—that you could apply to increase website sales? Wouldn’t that be swell? Well, there is.
I’ve turned it into a checklist.
80% of people never leave home without their phones in hand.
We do everything with it, including shopping, research, social media and more.
Whatever your business is, an ever growing chunk of your target customers are using their mobile devices instead of computers to go online.
Here’s what you need to know about mobile internet users and their purchasing behavior.
We live in the age of distrust. Our bullsh*t detectors work at full speed and anything fishy gets caught. Any claim you make without showing proof is destined to fail. We’re all skeptics.
Even if you mean well, people find it hard to believe you. Here are a few principles and a 3-step sequence you can use to make your writing more believable.
An average website has a sales conversion of 1% to 2%. So it’d be fair to say that on most sites more than 95% of visitors don’t buy anything—especially on their first visit. So instead of trying to sell them right away, we should capture leads (i.e. emails) instead.
If you want to sell stuff online, there’s one thing you should always be looking to eliminate – Click Fear. No, it’s not a modern day phobia.
It’s when people are not sure what will happen after they click.
So in most cases they won’t.
