The Web is about customer power. It is the customer, not the organization, who is in control on the web. The customer searches, the customer clicks on that link (or not), the customer quickly scans your webpage. What will your customer do next? Click on one of your compelling links or hit the Back button?
Web marketing and selling is counter-intuitive. Big images of smiling faces and content full of marketing babble is what impatient customers hate. The way you keep a customer on the Web is to get them off your website as quickly as possible. If you do that, they’ll come back. If you waste their time, they’re gone in a flash intro.
Practically all websites start off as organization-centric entities, full of ego and pomposity, pretty pictures and meaningless marketing verbiage. Great websites are ugly and functional. They get straight to the point. They are honest and upfront and they always, always put the customer first.
This 1-day seminar on 5 May 2009 will give you the tools and arguments to prove that a customer-centric approach will maximize the effectiveness of your website.
