With some strategic planning, your website not only can draw new customers, it can ultimately make hard-hitting contributions to your organization's growth. If your site has been sitting around just looking pretty, consider these ways you can get it to start flexing muscle:
1. First, is your site search engine-optimized to attract the most and best traffic? By performing search engine optimization (SEO), you can use strategic keywords, site design, and HTML coding to improve your site's rankings in online searches. Generally, websites that rank highest (the ones that appear earliest in search results) receive the most visits.
2. Once you've increased your traffic, is your website converting it into valuable marketing assets? Generating website traffic without parlaying it into mailing lists, leads, and donations is like having a highway billboard-you get visibility and brand awareness, but no tangible assets once the billboard comes down. By adding online information forms and incentive offers, you can actively convert your site traffic into names and contact information, create goodwill by providing beneficial information or resources, and begin developing relationships. Over time, your website visitors may produce online fundraising dollars and become regular givers or even major benefactors.
