When it comes to returns on marketing investment, there are few better bets than building a great website. On average, every $1 spent on the user experience of a website comes back as $100 in sales. For those without a calculator, that’s an ROI of 9,900%.

Why is a great website so important? For starters, because 93% of business purchase decisions begin with a search for that business’ website. Follow that with the fact that 89% of consumers will turn to a competitor if they have a poor experience with your site, and the reality comes clear. The vast majority of potential customers want to walk into your business through a digital storefront. Let’s open the door for them!

ORGANIC SEARCH

PAID SEARCH

Running strategic search campaigns helps your ad show up near the top of relevant search results. This method drives “only” 27% of website traffic, but that traffic is faster in terms of growth and returns on investment. But what about customers who aren’t scanning search results? That’s where number three comes in…

paid social icon

PAID SOCIAL

64% of consumers use social media to inspire shopping decisions, even if they do not click on advertisements. This means that paying to get your content in front of eyes on social media not only increases immediate website traffic, but potentially inspires later purchases.
