The first thing for any internet marketer to learn is that people that are surfing the internet aren’t looking to buy something. They are looking for help in improving their situation. Once you have a strong grasp on that concept, your internet marketing strategy will seem a lot less confusing.
The best way to make people more comfortable in dealing with you is to offer something for free before you even consider offering your product for sale. For example, offer a free ebook packed with good information, a free video for entertainment or informational purposes, or perhaps a free sample of your product. The important thing is that it should be something that is useful to your potential customers, and helps them to solve a problem or fill a need that they have. In addition to building trust with new customers, be sure to make yourself available for your current customers. Sometimes the relationship you build with them will bring in more new ones.
Your aim should not be a quick one-time sale, but rather to build into gaining a life-long customer. Once a person finds trust in you and your products, they will return to you in having their needs fulfilled. In addition, they will refer others to you. The new customers will already have a sense of trust in you since their friend or family member already does.
As you are building your customer base, ask those loyal customers if they are willing to give you a testimonial expressing their satisfaction with your product and your customer service. Their honest opinions will also help to build trust in your company. If you have a customer that is not fully satisfied with your service or product, get to the root of the problem and fix it. Sometimes the comments and concerns from your customers is the best way to improve your business.
