Credit Card Processing : 10 Effective Merchant Websites' Marketing Strategies

by Trisha Echols     All merchants want a successful online store. In their definition, a successful merchant website means it ranks high among various search engines, gets hundreds of visitor's visits a day, and receives numerous purchase orders online. However, this rosy condition does not just happen to any merchant website. It takes planning, preparation, hard work, and back-breaking marketing blitz to achieve this state of profitability.    Here are some proven website marketing stragegies: <ol><li>GET CREDIT CARD PROCESSING SERVICE This is a must, and should be on the top of your priorities as a merchant. Your customers will not be able to make online credit card payments unless your site has credit card processing service. </li><li>WORD-OF-MOUTH A proven marketing strategy, advertising by word of mouth increases potential customers' visits to your site. You can do this by personally inviting your neighbors, friends, relatives, colleagues, classmates, and other acquiantances .When your site performs well, your word-of-mouth contacts will in turn spread the word to their friends and relatives, thereby increasing visitors to your site. People will visit your site if : a.) You sell hot quality products at competitive prices and deliver promptly b.) You have a reliable product return policy. c.) If you deal on services, you make sure you always strive for customer's satisfaction </li><li>SUBMIT YOUR SITE TO FREE LISTING DIRECTORY In these days, there are still a number of online directories that accepts fee listing services. Grab this opportunity and submit your site to these directories. It does not cost you a cent. </li><li>DISPATCH PRESS RELEASES TO YOUR LOCAL MEDIA Write a good press release about your website. If you don't know how, hire a copy writer to make one for you. Afterwards, you can send these press releases to your local newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations. </li><li>DISPLAY POSTERS Design a colorful and compelling poster about your website and hang them on strategic places like public parks, children's playgrounds, and other allowable locations. </li><li>COMMERCIAL DIRECTORY SUBMISSION SITES Submit your site to paid directory services like Yahoo, Lycos, and other commercial submission sites. For a nominal fee, your site gets greater visibility. </li><li>SWAP LINKS You can discuss with other site owners to swap links with you, for free. You display their links to your website and in turn, they display yours in their sites. It's a classic “ you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours” tactic many website owners would readily agree.   </li><li>USE SUBMISSION SOFTWARE There are commercial submission software which automates the process of submitting your sites to directory listing. Search for it and choose one that fits your needs and your budget. </li><li>BLOG IT Use blogging as a way to promote your site. If you don't know how, you can ask your friend to do the writing for you. Blogging is very effective in getting people to visit your site. Be sure to provide backlinks to other blogs so that other bloggers will display links to your site. </li><li> PROVIDE FRESH CONTENT EVERYDAY Aside from merchant products, try to provide readable content articles to your site. If your site is about dresses, write articles on how to choose the right outfit for the right occasion. Or you can talk about the dress personalities. You get the drift. </li></ol>     Just don't forget, though. It is necessary that as the owner of a merchant website that sells products through the Internet, you must subscribe to credit card processing service. This is important. After all, no amount of marketing strategies could take the place of a merchant site fully configured to accept online payments.     ( Trisha Echols currently is a long-time financial consultant with established consultancy offices in Amsterdam, Halifax, Malaysia and other key cities.
