Develop Clear Individual Goals (Conversions)

When you craft your message, it has to have a clear call to action: clear goals, or conversions. The whole reason you are participating in that conversion is to build trust to sell. Be sure each message meets a predetermined definition for conversion. Here are some examples:

  • Increase revenue through e-commerce
  • Collect user-generated content
  • Increase web traffic
  • Product or service awareness
  • Loyalty and peer support
  • Collaboration
  • Innovation (ideas)
  • Promote events
  • Sale or closeout
  • Reduce tech support
  • Increase e-mail subscriptions
  • Drive telephone sales
  • Build brand awareness

Develop one call to action (conversion) per message, especially when using e-mail. More than one call to action per message will confuse and weaken your conversion.
