Day & Time: Friday, March 14 from 8:00 - 8:45am - Gatlin E4
Driving traffic to your website is absolutely essential–people have to be able to find you in order to rent from you. But it doesn’t actually matter how many people find your website if they don’t turn into actual customers. How do you know if your website is optimized to convert visitors into customers? In this session, we’ll cover:
- Features of a website that convert online traffic
- How to establish trust with potential customers
- Educating to help sell your product to potential customers
