Questions this episode answers

What should you put on a conversion confirmation page to increase sales?

According to this episode, you should say thanks, confirm your brand value, show related products for future purchases, deliver supporting content like how-to videos, set shipping expectations, give orientation steps, and use the page to start a remarketing list for future ads.

How can a thank-you page help with social media growth?

The hosts recommend asking buyers to like your Facebook page, share their purchase, or post a photo on Instagram in exchange for a discount or free shipping on the next order, since a customer who just spent money is more likely to act than someone still undecided.

How does remarketing work from a conversion confirmation page?

You can create segmented lists of buyers based on what they purchased on the confirmation page, then use those lists to show targeted ads for related products, for example showing new cologne ads only to people who bought a specific cologne brand.

What tactic is missing from the seven-point article discussed in this episode?

The hosts say the article by Joseph Kirscherbaum on Search Engine Watch omitted social media. They argue the confirmation page is the ideal moment to prompt a Facebook like, a purchase share, or a photo post with an incentive attached.

In their words

somebody who's visited your site and made a purchase or a download or requested a quote or whatever that conversion was, they've actually invested some resources and time into your business. So why not resell to them, right, when their pocket's still open

Charles Lewis

it's easier to get somebody to leave a review when they're doing business with you versus somebody who's still debating if they're going to do business with you

Charles Lewis

I'll put, you know, nine days shipping and then I'll ship it out, you know, in three days and that way you get it early. And so now you're actually having a great experience because you were waiting on it for next week and you got it early.
