Cincinnati & Columbus, OH – Web design implemented effectively is a crucial factor not only in your online success. A website that is strategically implemented can also boost your offline sales.
Online market research and analysis firm eMarketer published a report concluding that consumers are increasingly conducting online research to augment their offline purchases. The results show that all retail businesses, whether in Columbus, Cincinnati, or elsewhere in Ohio or the world, need to take advantage of this rising trend.
“Any retailer who isn’t using the online channel to promote offline sales—as well as online sales—is missing a sizable opportunity,” says eMarketer.
eMarketer estimated that, in 2007, a total of $471 billion in offline store sales were influenced by consumers conducting online product research first. The research firm also predicted that this online-to-offline dynamic will translate into $1.124 trillion in 2012.
Armed with this information, you now have a prime opportunity to influence more sales through your website. Your e-commerce website should, first of all, be a funnel that skillfully persuades Web visitors into making a purchase online. However, for those consumers intent on only conducting product research, your website should also provide them with the right balance of information to both answer their questions and convince them of your product’s and store’s advantages over those of your competitors—in other words, your unique selling proposition (USP).
If you struggle with creating compelling product descriptions, however, do not fret. You can still leverage the expertise of a skilled online marketing firm—such as Top Dog Marketing Group—to help you craft descriptions that accomplish the online and offline results you seek.

bookmarking websites can really help to “brand” you as long as you select your niche properly and start building keywords and tags from there. But I think that social bookmarking is something you just cannot pass over if you desire your business to actually start moving, also using a good automatic bookmarking software is unquestionably the most important and cost effective way to do it.
Good topics, it open my eye , thanks
Boy, this can be some high-class site
Useful information. I recently stumbled on your web-site and have ended up reading along. I figured I might write a 1st remark. I don’t know just what exactly to write apart from I have liked reading. Solid webpage. I am going to keep dropping by this web site frequently.
appreciate it !! very useful post!
Keep up the good writing
Interesting and good stuff. Keep it coming. I am always interested in the story
Outstanding article.
I believe that about consumers doing so much online research for offline purchases. Every big ticket item I buy gets thoroughly checked out at forums and shopping sites that have ratings and customer reviews.
What I perceived from that excellent article is that the logos have become less artistic over the years. I guess everyone wants to simplify to make their logos easier to remember.
Great article 9/10! Bookmarked
Damn, cool website. I actually came across this on Yahoo, and I am stoked I did. I will definately be revisiting here more often. Wish I could add to the post and bring a bit more to the table, but am just absorbing as much info as I can at the moment.
Thank You
