Incorporating the elements of an effective website | Back

Attracting relevant users to your website is only half the process to achieving a return on your investment. Once on your site, how do you keep them there? How do you guide them and ensure their user experience provides easy access to the information they want? And in exchange for that information – how do you get that vital marketing data from them? How do you ensure they come back, become a regular member of your user community and even recommend your website to others?

The analysis of who is responding to your website is crucial. Analysing the analytic statistics will teach you not only about how well your online proposition is performing, but also what your prospects really want. This data can help you further understand your market locally and globally, which could even lead to developments in your business model if demand dictates.

It is rare for a user to contact you on their first visit to your site, so ensure there are both 'reasons' and 'facilities' that ensure their return. The use of strong relevant 'calls to arms', implementing social media, user options for requesting news updates and offers and even sign up to RSS feeds from your news page or blog.

Once a user has signed-up and become part of your user community, you can send them tailored marketing messages and information relating to their specified areas of interest.
