How can I drive more business to my website
Hi,
I have a website www.rozanacuizine.com</A> and would like to get people to order my sauces. How do I go about doing this? I have been told to link to other sites but how do I get other sites to link up?
Thanks

One way to get links to your site is to write articles on sites such as Work.com and Squidoo.com. Work.com www.work.com</A> is a community of small businesspeople who contribute business how-to guides - you can write your own guide about starting a food business, etc. and share your expertise. That will establish you as an expert, and you can add your link to your author profile. You could also mention your company in your guide, but to be most effective and credible, link to a variety of other resources too.
Good luck!

You have a nice looking site. Your product is interesting and attractively packaged too.
I would suggest that you sprinkle in a couple of the testamonials on
the home page. Make them stand out by giving them a different font and
placing them in a box with a different background color from the site
background - what copywriters call a Johnson box.
Also since your name is used on the site and product, you should have
your picture on there. Your potential customer wants to see you, be
reassured that you are a real live person. This will help build trust -
always an important factor in online sales.
It was mentioned before, but it needs to be said again - your online store is costing you customers. Some factors to note:
I have to REALLY want to buy your sauce to make a purchase
through your site. It takes at least 6 clicks just to get where I enter
my credit card info. Clicks are like customer filters - every click
required will cause some people to click away from your site. Not
what you want.
I had to really look for a way to get to the order section of the site. Much too hard.
While it is labeled a "security server," it doesn`t appear to be
a secure site. I should see the little lock icon at the bottom of my
browser and the URL should start with https. Your order page doesn`t. I
would be nervous about entering my card details on that page.
The store should look as much like the rest of the site as possible.
I would drop the shopping cart you currently use. In its place I
would put a picture of each sauce on the home page, along with "Buy
Now" and "Add to Cart" buttons for each. - maybe below the page text or
a sidebar. I would also have a link for "More information" for each
that leads to a nice detailed page for each product. Here you would
give complete details along with more buying buttons.
You can set up a system like this using Paypal or Google Checkout
without a merchant account and for reasonable fees. Since it appears
that you have a merchant account, 1shoppingcart.com also has a nice system
plus many other features such as newletter management.
The idea of writting articles is also good. You can submit articles to
free article directories - goarticles.com and ezinearticles.com are
just two of many places you could use.
Your articles would be published on their site, plus other webmasters
could use your article on their websites or newsletters. In return they
would have to include your resource box with a link back to your site.
Your articles shouldn`t try to directly sell your product - tips and
hints about food and cooking in general would be good. You would get to
have a short plug in your resource box as well as link to the site.
Another way to drive traffic is to start an affiliate program. Your
affiliates would link to your site from their sites. If they send you a
paying customer they get a commission. The 1shoppingcart system
provides affiliate management also.
Of course you can buy clicks to your site as well. Google adwords is
the biggest pay per click advertising service and when you buy ads from
them they give you credit towards order processing on the Google
Checkout system. You can spend a lot fast, with little reward if you
aren`t careful here. Perry Marshall has one of the best books about
Adsense for a small price (http://www.perrymarshall.com/adwords/index.htm).
Finally, you may want to check out Make Your Site Sell from the people
at SiteSell.com. This 7 volume, 1500 page ebook has been the bible for
information websites and web traffic generation for years. I had to pay
for my copy, but it is now FREE. The link to the free download page is
http://myss.sitesell.com/ Anyone wanting to do business on the
Internet should read it and you can`t beat the price.
Good luck.
