High traffic but low sales
Healthy numbers of clicks merged with an anemic conversion rate is one of the most common digital marketing problems that businesses face. It is frustrating to see many likes and reactions but no proportionate lift in sales.
The content of your online pages might be turning potential clients away. It is either the message is mixed and not direct to the point. Ensure that the title of your digital pages and the content marry to make easy navigation from consumers.
Increasing followers
The higher the number of followers you have, the wider your market base. This is why businesses try to engage with social pages that have huge followers to look for potential clients.
To increase the number of your followers, develop relationship with local and industry influencers.
