Advice of experienced marketers

We would like to share with you some tips and tricks of marketing, which can only be taught by experience.


How do you achieve a balance between instinct and understanding?
    Today, every marketing team has analysts and business analysts - people fully dedicated to identifying patterns in working with clients. We invest a lot of money in conducting statistical tests in order to find the best marketing reception. This is great, given that the time spent on trial and error methods has been significantly reduced. However, the essence of marketing has always been to understand the client's desires and to offer them the best solution - even if it was something they had never expected. As Henry Ford once said: "If I asked people what they wanted, they would say they wanted faster horses.

    It's important not to take the data at face value. Instead, you can draw conclusions about visitor behavior based on the data. For example, let's say that you are using a test with which you want to analyze visitor behavior on your website and you notice that visitors close one page but stay longer on another page, even if it has similar content. You can group the information from the test with information from session records and heat maps to find out what's driving them to spend more time looking at the second page. It's about finding a problem that visitors want to solve.

    Experiments like this, where you learn how to get reliable information from data, will develop your instinct over time. And in the end, you can come to the same conclusions, but faster.

    To do the right marketing actions, you need to become such a good psychologist that you can tell when to trust the data and when not.


Optimizing conversion rates or CRO


    CRO is as important for a multi-billion dollar enterprise as it is for a small team that is limited in budget and resources. Of course, each team's requirements change, but so does your use of CRO.

    When you start with several developers and one marketer, your optimization focus should be quantitative. You can start by modifying your website data. This will help you group website pages into categories based on their traffic. 


For example:


Category of pages with low performance:
-Pages where nothing is bought
-Pages that close quickly

Category of pages with high performance:
-Pages with low visitor numbers but high conversion rates
-pages with the most visits

    Then you can analyze what you are doing right on high performance pages and try to replicate this effect on other pages as well.

    As the number of your team and the number of visitors grows, you can start using CRO tools for qualitative analysis, such as thermal maps, session recordings, and surveys, in order to study visitor behavior. These tools will help you develop a marketing approach that is unique to every old woman.

    If you have a significant number of visitors to your website and a good conversion counter, you can start running tests. Also, you can focus on personalization at the visitor level to maximize conversion chances at each stage of the conversion funnel.


Regularly measure and improve your website load speed


    The study showed that a delay of one second in website loading reduces conversion by 25%. Measuring and improving website loading speed at regular intervals requires minimal effort and results in a noticeable improvement in customer service, conversion rates, and ultimately your sales revenue.

    Even by-products to optimize page load time, such as SEO and advertising, have a positive effect on conversions. For the visitor, a faster page is a sign of good UX, so they stay on the page longer, which significantly reduces the conversion rate. Multiply this effect by the thousands of visitors that get to your website and you will see a sharp increase in the page rank.

    Faster download times will also increase the quality score on Google ads. A higher score means you will pay less per click and your ads will start to improve. 

    Every time you edit a website - add new images or a dynamic piece of content - make sure you measure and optimize its impact on website load time on both web and mobile platforms.


Each landing page should focus on one thing.


    The essence of each landing page is the same in all industries - better to sell life. And what is the distinctive characteristic of a good landing page? It sells you a better life, using direct and convincing messages with appropriate, but unobtrusive graphics.
    Each landing page must meet this single goal - how you do it depends on the type of your industry. For example, a SaaS business landing page will show you the benefits that their product can give you. This will allow you to draw a picture of your business's revenue growth without much hassle. On the other hand, the target page of an e-commerce website can show you how easy your life will become through delivery on the day of sale and sales at the end of the season. 


Unique content is a victory for SEO.


    It seems that every quarter you can find new rules in the SEO sphere. One thing that remains unchanged is that interesting and informative content will be 100% unique on any day. Let us not forget the goal of the SEO strategy: to help visitors find the content they are looking for.

    Search engines have become much better over the years, and today quality is superior to quantity. Yes, you can make a list of keywords to which the page is oriented. But more importantly, you need to understand the problem that the visitor wants to solve. Then create content that matches the intentions of the visitor. If your content meets the needs of the visitor, he is likely to spend more time on the page. Search engines such as Google appreciate the time that visitors spend on each page. The more valuable your content visitors find, the longer they stay on your web page, and the higher their chances of conversion.


Here are some basic marketing tips that will never let you down on your marketing journey.
