CEOs: 3 ways to improve your WordPress websites



Being a CEOs of a somewhat small company, you must have wondered how to attract (and keep) customers on your WordPress website, therefore increasing the possibility of turning a potential lead to a happy customer. As a participant in the Northwestern Social Media Management Course, http://bit.ly/northwesternsocialmktg , I have learned that it is not only important what your content is but also how you display it and how you improve the user experience on your site, which is also emphasized in these two articles.

In his article, How to make complete strangers fall in love with your blog, which can be found at Jeff Bullas blog/website (@jeffbullas), Jawad Khan points out the importance of several things, one of them being the importance of brand and the landing page – if you are not already famous it must be attractive the visitors otherwise they will leave. According to the author of this article, other important things also include free quality content – images, info-graphics and videos and all that FOR FREE. The last this he underlines is the importance of Facebook groups for better engagement with your following. This article is great content, not just for blogger but also for companies which cannot afford a great marketing budget.

The second article, published by @wpbeginner on their website, 24 Must Have WordPress Pluginsfor Business Websites in 2017, give the WordPress users the list of some of the best and most efficient WordPress plugins out there. Some of those show you how to maximize the impact your content has while other are made to improve your SEO or to facilitate the interaction with the users of your site. Also, let us not forget the security issues all entrepreneurs face – but do not worry, the writer assures you that WordPress has got you covered on that as well.

Having read these two articles, and experience gained from the online lectures at the Northwestern University Social Media Marketing course, I recommend the following three action you should take to maximize the impact of your WordPress site :


  •     Killer Landing page – If user do not like what they see, they WILL leave, so thread carefully 
  •     Boost SEO – it is paramount for your business that it can be found easily, so you have to be relevant now
  •     Empower your users – It is crucial for the user to have the control on your WordPress site and that the information they provide is safe with you 


So, starting today, improve the WordPress experience for your potential customers by making all the jigsaw puzzle pieces fit!

How to better your approach to segmentation

     Have you ever been on a client call where you have proudly presented your data and gave what you thought was an insightful recommendation? Only to find out that your data was based on wrong suppositions. If you have, you must understand how uncomfortable the situation is. Starting conditions Recently, I set out to determine the best options for Retail Pre-VIP and VIP flows for one of our clients.   In order to do that, I used the segmentation features available in the client’s ESP (Email Service Provider for those who are not in the marketing business). As there are three separate lists, out of which two are retail lists and one is wholesale, I needed to focus only on the two Retail ones. One of the conditions I originally set up was that the customer belongs to one of the two Retail lists. Then, I determined the average customer values in order to get a baseline I could use for comparison. The next steps included further segmenting and fine-tuning until I

Why make a blog?

The real question is WHY NOT? It seems that nowadays everyone has a blog so one has to wonder - why not me too? Well, there are reasons why not: 1. You need "followers" . Unless you are a person who cultivates a lot of contacts and has a really well devised social media strategy (you might not even be aware you have one - you are natural - good for you!), making a blog can be a nightmare. (This is a nightmare for me as I am not that social nor well connected!). Why make a blog if no one will read it? (I will talk about this later.) True, but for some people. 2. You need to be activ e. Duh, you actually need to blog. You have to post something from time to time otherwise, why have a blog. (Personally being disorganized and interested in a lot of things - see actively trying to do a lot while in fact doing nothing! - this is the biggest hurdle i hope to overcome). 3. You need to have interesting content. Let's face it - nobody is interested how you washed
