Your "Online Traffic Formula" is key to your Clients Pocket Book

By Trisha Frauenhofer

Honesty is a great relationship builder. The more you can come across as an honest, ethical person, the sooner they will open their pocket books. Customers should never feel that they've been ripped off.

I myself, Trisha Frauenhofer know the importance of honest business dealings, and I work hard to go the extra mile in letting my clients feel safe in their transactions with me. That's part of my "online traffic formula"

Customers usually feel cheated when they buy a product and find out that the shipping costs have been jacked up two or three times what they need to be. Nobody likes to see a product sold for a dollar or two and find out that the shipping costs are through the roof.

Super high shipping costs cause customers to feel that you are being unethical and many will back out of buying your products. Do you recall when you bought something online, and the shipping cost was free or just a few dollars. That probably made you feel good about that purchase and wanted to come back for more.

Quality products sold at a reasonable price will sell quicker than a cheap product sold at an outrageous price or a product sold for pennies but with extremely high shipping costs.

If you choose to be fair to your customers they will recognize this and put their whole hearted trust in you. You will find that they will return to you for many of their online needs, and most likely refer your business to friends and family.

With so much customer feedback on the net, your reputation is on the line. You want to always be honest and ethical with all of your business dealings. If you do, you gain twice the customers and sales than you originally would have expected.

Reputation Reputation Reputation is how you separate out the internet giants from the mediocre. Gaining business respect through honesty is key to your "online traffic formula". - 15790
