What do you do when you want to buy a mobile phone?

1. You go to a mobile shop
2. Compare features
3. Compare price
4. [a. If satisfied, you buy that phone] or [b. visit some more shops]
5. Find out the best deal
6. [a. buy that phone] or [b. return home]

This is the normal course of buying a mobile phone in the regular market and people are habituated with the process. However, there is another very important feature in the whole process ' information.

The need to buy a mobile phone is already created before you visit a mobile shop. And we often read newspapers, magazines or search internet to know about the latest phone models.

Now what is the difference between buying a mobile phone online and offline?

In a mobile store (offline) you can actually see and touch the mobile phone that you intend to buy but you cannot do the same on a website. This very difference often creates disbelief among the buyers to buy online though in both the market they cannot see the quality of the internal mechanism. They are more concerned about the features or support and market response rather then quality of the components.

If only somehow you could overcome this hurdle (wining consumer's trust), your online business would overflow.

How to do that?

The process is not as tough as it sounds. All you need is a great understanding of your customer's need and ability to address their problems apart from establishing your credibility. However every online business is different and caters to different target groups. You should consult your local SEO companies (e.g.Ft Lauderdale SEO Companies) before implementing something.

How to establish online business credibility?

Latest research and surveys show that most of the visitors carefully read 'terms and conditions' before buying something or subscribing to some services. This tendency simply means that they are interested in reading the fine prints before making any payment. Thus you need to prepare a simple and clear statement about terms and policies of your service.

The next most important part is the 'contact page' where you must provide a valid phone number with detailed office address (where people can reach you physically). This section is very important if you are taking online payment. You would find a lot of website that offer road map to locate the exact location of the office. This would help you a lot to gain user's confidence.

Testimonials from users are another very important part of the whole website. It is always better to use image of the commenter along with address (please take proper permission before publishing their address) and comment. This part some how pushes the confidence level of the buyers.

Forum is another important add-on feature that really helps a business to grow. A forum not only enhances the trust factor but also sustains the visitors in your website. A forum can also gain you a lot of new visitors for secondary keywords that you never even dreamt of implementing. However, if you want to integrate a forum in your site, you need to pay some extra attention. You must have the spirit and patience to answer all the grievances and queries of the members as soon as possible. The success of a forum depends on your public relation capabilities. A forum will also help you to understand market needs better and faster. This would eventually help you develop and grow your business further.

These are some of the features that may help you to do a better business. There are so many other ways to win visitor's trust and it all depends on your business type. You may contact some local SEO companies for more resources and other SEO Services.
