Entertainment

Use the informal atmosphere of the internet to entertain your customer. The internet is used by more people as a means of entertainment than as a means of business. If used effectively, entertainment can significantly improve the business relationship. Provide clever facts, amusing presentations or even a witty character or mascot to assist them. However, be sure that the entertainment is used appropriately. Be sure that is does not obstruct the information or value you are trying to bestow upon them.

Always use your competition to your advantage. Research how your competition uses these characteristics to improve their customer relations. Your website does not have to be boring just because it is informative. Create an appeal that will set you above the competition. The internet can be an extremely powerful tool for your business, reaching a greater audience than ever before. A successful business uses a complete arsenal to reach its market.

Contact

The internet also allows for another form of contact with your customer. Some people can be hesitant about talking to a representative in person or on the phone if they don’t feel very knowledgeable about the product or service. Email allows them to carefully collect their thoughts before sending them. They feel less awkward about their lack of knowledge. Again, use this opportunity to gain an edge over the competition. Go out of your way to educate them about the product or service.

Guidance

The pages of your website should guide the customer towards the specific solutions they are looking for. They should serve to help them quickly locate what they came to find. Think of it as a store map located at the entrance of a department store. The customer can use this directly upon entering the store to get to the department they are interested in, instead of wandering around looking for it. Get their relevant information in front of them quickly while they are still the mood to purchase. People buy on impulse. If they have to spend 15 minutes searching for what they are looking for, that impulse may very well fade away.

Evaluation

Many customers will not purchase something without searching for the best value. The internet allows your customers to obtain the information they need to feel like they are making an educated buying decision. Make sure you are using your website to take advantage of this opportunity. Inform your customer why your product or service is of the best value compared to their other options. Always acknowledge the competition instead of acting like your product or service is the only one out there.

Information

A website can allow you to communicate much more information about a product or service than an in-store display or advertisement. You can also control the way the information is presented. Supplying information in an orderly step-by-step process can greatly improve the chance of a purchase.

Tips to improve your website: 1- Convenience

Convenience

Allowing your customers to make decisions at their convenience is a very powerful element. Nobody wants to feel pressured or hurried into making a buying decision. When a customer can go to your website, browse your products and services, and make a purchase at their convenience, you are satisfying a crucial consumer obstacle — time. They don’t have to keep returning to your storefront every time they wish to evaluate your value. In fact, most customers do not buy something the first time they see it. Instead, they must see and consider it several times before they finally talk themselves into purchasing. A website allows customers to quickly review their reasons to purchase something, leading to a greater number of impulse buys.

HTML vs. Flash

A difference of opinion among developers has become a high-profile debate over the future of the Web: should programmers continue using Adobe Systems’ Flash or embrace newer Web technology instead?

The debate has gone on for years, but last week’s debut of Apple’s iPad–which like the iphone doesn’t support Flash–turned up the heat. Before that, Adobe had been saying with some restraint that it’s happy to bring Flash to the iPhone when Apple gives the go-ahead.

But Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch took the gloves off Tuesday with a blog post that said Apple’s reluctance to include Flash on its “magical device” means iPad buyers will effectively see a crippled Web. And he played the Google Nexus One card, too.

“We are now on the verge of delivering Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones with all but one of the top manufacturers,” Lynch said, specifically mentioning the Nexus One as one such device and adding that the software also works on tablets, Netbooks, and Net-enabled TVs. “Flash in the browser provides a competitive advantage to these devices because it will enable their customers to browse the whole Web…We are ready to enable Flash in the browser on these devices if and when Apple chooses to allow that for its users, but to date we have not had the required cooperation from Apple to make this happen.”

Flash has indeed spread to near-ubiquity on computers, with better than 98 percent penetration, according to Adobe’s statistics. Its roots lay with graphical animations, but its success was cemented by providing an easy streaming video mechanism to a Web that had been plagued with obstreperous and incompatible technology from Microsoft, Apple, and Real.

But a collection of new technologies–including a rejuvenated HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) standard used to write Web pages–are aiming to reproduce some of what Flash offers.

Web standards evangelists for browser maker Opera Software, believes HTML and the other technologies inevitably will replace Flash and already collectively are “very close” to reproducing today’s Flash abilities.

“The Web (including video, games, animation) is too vital a platform for business, communication, and society to be in the hands of any single vendor,” Lawson said. “But it’ll be a while; there is a huge body of existing content that uses Flash.”

Appcelerator said today that nearly 1,000 new developers signed up after the company announced its cross-platform product, Appcelerator Titanium, would support Apple’s iPad starting in February.

Titanium allows web developers to use industry-standard, open-source Web technologies such as Javascript, HTML, and CSS to quickly build rich, fully native applications that run on the iPad, iPhone, Android, PC, Macintosh, and Linux platforms from a single code base.

“Successful iPad applications that really stand apart will take advantage of the new user interface and other native features that make the device distinct from the iPhone and Mac,” said Jeff Haynie, CEO of Appcelerator.

“Applications in the media, entertainment, business, social networking, and education spaces will particularly benefit from the iPad’s enhanced user experience capabilities, and we plan to bundle all of that native functionality into Titanium.”
