🛒 Over 99% of Shoppers Do This


Imagine you’re about to buy something special — let’s say a new coffee maker.

What’s the first thing you do?

Like millions of others, you probably pull out your phone or hop on your computer to read reviews, compare prices, and check different brands.

Here’s a fun fact: over 99% of shoppers conduct online research before making a purchase!

It’s no surprise, right? For example, as an earbuds fan, I can’t count how many videos and reviews I read before finally deciding on the perfect pair.

The thing is, this highlights a critical fact: If your business isn’t visible online, you’re likely missing out on a huge chunk of potential customers.

Now, if you run a business or sell things online, you want more people to find and buy from you. But it’s hard to get noticed when there are so many other businesses online.

You might be asking yourself:

đź’­ Which ways of marketing will work best for my money?

đź’­ How can I be different from other similar businesses?

đź’­ How can I get people to trust my business?

See, running a business can make your head spin sometimes with all the stuff you need to figure out!

But the good news is, you don’t need a massive budget or technical skills to make a big impact.

We wrote about 7 online marketing strategies for small businesses and explained how to use them to help your business grow, even if you’re a new business owner.

And that’s not only for them, even if you’re planning to start a business soon, these strategies might help a lot.

Cheers,

Yes, you may have already heard this, but something you might be doing wrong is not pinning what Pinterest users really want...

Think about being at a party. Someone says in a boring way “There’s some food if you want.” That’s a weak way to get people interested. But what if your friend comes up to you all excited and says “Hey! Sarah made this amazing chocolate cake - you need to try it, it’s right there in the kitchen!” That’s how you get people excited and ready to act. When it comes to online marketing, that’s what holds the power of guiding your audience on exactly what to do next, and we call them CTAs...

Did you know that the average employee working in an enterprise business does over 1,000 copy-paste actions each week? Even someone who uses a computer regularly, we can say, likely performs this action at least 100 times a day without even realizing it. We copy-paste because it's quick and convenient. But what if there was a way to make it even better? And no, I'm not talking about copying someone else's work at all. Copy-pasting is a core function of every device we use today, yet most...
