Yes, I realize it’s only June. But that means we’re about halfway through the year, and the holiday shopping season is going to be here before you know it! Instead of leaving everything for the last minute, plan strategically now to ensure that you’ll be ready to focus on your business during the most important time of the year.
Year after year, we see business owners struggling with the same elements during the eleventh hour because they failed to work on them ahead of time. So, if you want to get a jump on the competition, here are the things you need to be doing now to get your business to be ready for the holiday shopping season: Service providers are no strangers to providing estimates/quotes, but not all of them do so effectively. I’ve gotten some pretty crummy looking quotes from businesses in the past for local services – everything from handwritten nightmares to poorly constructed word doc templates (and don’t even get me started about these guys). So, if you want to stand out from the crowd, these are the five things that every great quote has in common:
As a website owner, a high bounce rate can be a serious cause for concern. Whether you’re running an ecommerce store or a blog, poor bounce rate stats typically signal that there’s something wrong (especially if they spike suddenly). However, in some cases a high bounce rate isn’t necessarily a major problem. In the case of an informational search query, visitors can get their question answered quickly and leave a site having satisfied their reason for searching.
For instance, if you run a mommy blog and someone searches for “what are good first foods for babies” and arrives at your site where you have a list of foods, they may see the information that they were looking for, and then leave satisfied. Similarly, if you have a cooking blog and someone searches for “how long does it take to bake a sweet potato,” finding this information on your blog fulfills the immediate need behind the search. In these types of situations though, the goal is to get these searchers to stick around longer to view your other resources, share your articles, and become a loyal follower. So, while a high bounce rate isn’t necessarily a problem in these cases, it’s still not ideal. But whether you’re trying to reduce your ecommerce bounce rate or blog bounce rate, the methods are the same. Here are our top tips for bringing bounce rate stats down: Small business owners tend to get scared when “the big guys” move in. They assume that big national retailers and service providers will be able to offer lower prices and more selection, and they get worried about what that will mean for their livelihoods. And while this apprehension may be warranted in some cases, there’s always opportunities for small businesses to stand out among their competitors of all sizes. Here are four great ways to stand out from the crowd:
