10 Ways to Convert Visitors Using Psychology

Businesses often focus only on deals to drive more sales. I think it’s a mistake. Not because it doesn’t work but because it only impacts a percentage of the audience. Not everyone is interested in a discount – many are more concerned about timely shipping, quality of the product, reputation of the business, etc. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that trust is often a better conversion optimization strategy than a discount.

Conversions are often psychological. Consumers and businesses don’t simply purchase for a great deal, they often purchase due to fear, happiness, self-gratification, self-image, philanthropy… there are a ton of reasons. So how can you tap into those opportunities?

We are all different, but in many instances our brains are prone to react in a similar manner, and understanding these subtleties in the human mind can help your business find creative ways to ethically move more buyers towards saying “Yes!” to your products or services.
