- #31: Click Thru Rate
- #32: Don’t make them think!
- #33: Donation Rate
- #34: Rewards aren’t for everything. Think about what it is that you’re offering — is it something that requires additional incentive to motivate your audience to purchase? Don’t forget about the cost. Make sure you think long term. In this case, the incentive didn’t increase the short term benefit of higher donation rates. But it many cases, while incentives might drive value short term, the long term effects can have negative impact on the business.
- #35: Form submisison
- #36: Think like your audience – Do you actually read every word on a webpage? Probably not. So take a look at the pages on your website and see what captures your attention most. Prioritize your content– Make sure you structure your web pages in a way that aligns with your goals with value and action.
