Forget about it. Build momentum and create your own sales surge! 1. Maximize the effectiveness of your banner and other ads. Don't just use the same ad on every page. Use a variety to attract the greatest number of clicks. 2. Make your web site load much faster by cutting down on huge banner ads and start using more buttons. Smaller button ads also take up less space on the pages, leaving more room for uncluttered white space. 3. Offer free advertising space to well known and respected companies on your web site. Sometimes people link their business credibility to yours. 4. People have been taught all their life to respect people in authority. Let your visitors know that you are the president or CEO of your business. Don’t be shy! 5. Offer people a free telephone consultation before they order your product. When they get to know you personally, it could convert to more sales. 6. Test the "bill me later option" on your web site. Most people are honest and will pay you. It is a powerful little niche and could increase your sales. 7. Find a charity your target audience would likely support. Team up and share the news with your propects and clients in your ad copy so that they know you are donating a percentage of the profits to that charity.
