Revealed: "The 3 Secret Personalization
Techniques That Increased Sales By 138%
|
Here's two more powerful techniques you can use to grab your
client's attention...
Technique #2 - "I Get Where You're Coming From,
Man!"
So, you'll need to see this one in action to understand
exactly what it is, and why it works:
Here's what I'd like you to do...
Go to the following page of my site over at ConvertHits.com. Don't worry,
all that will happen is you'll be given a link to get back to this page!
I'll explain why in just a few moments...
http://www.converthits.com/trafficpersonalizer.shtml
Go to that link, and then click the link provided to get back to this
page.
If it's worked... you should see a personalized message at the top of this
page, which reads:
"Welcome, visitors from ConvertHits.com! Since you've been reading my e-series on converting visitors into customers, you'll find these sales-boosting techniques particularly good..."
This time, no tag was involved!
(If you see a different message, you may need to press Reload or Refresh in
your browser, since the older version may be stored in your browser's
memory, or "cache".)
So, how's it done? Again, I'll show you in a few minutes... but here's the
point:
If you're getting traffic from a specific site, you can create a unique
message which will
display only for visitors coming from that site!
You see, here's the thing: marketers are always telling us we need to use
attention-grabbing headlines in our copy, right?
Well, what could be a more effective attention-grabber than using what
we already know about that visitor, to hook them in?
And with this technique, we use what we know about them (i.e. where
they've come from), to get them to read on!...
Here's a quick example: let's say you run a dog lovers site, and you're getting
traffic from a site that specializes in training poodles. Using my
technique, do you think the following pre-headline might warm them up?
"Welcome to my dog lovers site! Over the next few days we're running a
special competition for poodles and their trainers... follow the relevant
links to find out more."
Obviously that is just one example among many that I could show
you... can you start to imagine all the possibilites this technique
can open up to you?
Technique #3 - Your own personal link, and the best
$497 you'll ever spend...
We're all used to getting personalized "snail mail", aren't we?
It's not rocket science for a business to send out a mailshot with a
personalized "Dear Bill" or "Dear Jane" as the opening line.
And email autoresponder services offer something similar - when you give
your first name for signing up to an email newsletter, the newsletter can
be easily personalized with a simple "field".
So, you might be thinking... OK, and...?
Here's the thing: With your autoresponder service, that's where the personalization usually stops. You
click on a generic link in your favourite newsletter, and you're
usually taken to a generic sales letter or page.
With my third stealth strategy, that all
changes. Now you can personalize both the link you give to your
customers, and the sales page that follows!
OK, let's say you're a big fan of Micro Widgets, and you've been
subscribed to the Micro Widget User email newsletter for a while. Then you
receive this in your email:
Dear John,
You know that here at Micro Widget User we've been raving about the
Widget Ultra XI for a while now?
Great news - for you and a select number of regular customers I've
been able secure a substantial discount (they'll only let me have
100 of these vouchers).
Please don't give the link below with anyone else - it's for your
eyes only, John:
http://www.microwidgetuser.com/ultraxi/John
Best,
Paul Hancox
http://www.microwidgetuser.com
P.S: I apologize in advance if the above link no longer works, as
they've told us we need to pull the voucher once we hit the magic
number. |
OK, did you notice anything special here? Sure, the email is addressed to
John personally, but that's not particularly special, as most people do
that in email.
What's special is that the offer link itself is personalized. This
is the first of two keys to using this third powerful technique.
When John sees his own name in the offer link, don't you think he's
more likely to click on it?
In my own private tests with this technique, I've found it increased my
click-thru rate by 137% compared to using a generic link! Obviously
your results will differ - but it's hardly going to lower click-thru
rates, is it?
Now here's the best part...
John clicks his personalized link, and he's taken to the following sales
letter...
PRIVATE: YOUR WIDGET ULTRA XI DISCOUNT VOUCHER
- 50% OFF.
John, as I discussed in your email, I've managed to secure the
Widget Ultra XI for you at an incredible 50% discount. However, I have a
strictly limited supply, so order now to avoid disappointment.
CLICK HERE TO BUY.
P.S: John, please do not share this offer with friends, as it's for my regular customers only.
P.P.S: Did you know the Widget Ultra XI comes with its own carrying
case? Handy for those trips with the family!
P.P.P.S: - I'm expecting you'll come up with much better sales letters than this for
your campaigns, but hopefully you get the point! |
As if seeing his own name in the offer link wasn't enough, he now sees
his own name in the sales letter as well!
Of course, this is just a very basic example... naturally
you can design your campaigns and sales letters exactly how you'd like...
The point is this...
(a) the offer link itself is personalized, which will increase
click-thru rates,
(b) the sales letter is also personalized, using your prospect's own
name... grabbing your client's attention!
(c) You can completely hide the technology behind the personalization
process, so the client doesn't have to know it's all automated.
(d) A "cookie" is set, so if your visitor comes back to your sales
letter, their name will be remembered! (Assuming the visitor hasn't cleared the
cookies from their browser.)
So, what do you think so far?
