On Your Website Give Your Customers a Choice Between Yes and Yes
May 19, 2005 -- Instead of giving your potential customers a choice between yes and no, have your website give a choice between yes and yes - and your sales will soar.
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg's] new book,
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932226397/103-5885857-6396665 ["Call to Action,"] which is romping up the bestsellers lists, says that websites have a unique ability to frame a yes, yes choice, and that doing so can have surprising results.
"By trial and error," says
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Bryan Eisenberg], "we found that our clients' sales dramatically improved when we disposed of a "no" option on a page. Replacing that choice with another "yes" option almost always improves conversion rates."
What's even more exciting, according to the
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Eisenberg's], is the fact that given the choice between two yes options, customers in many situations choose the higher priced option.
The fact is," says
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Jeffrey Eisenberg]. "your customers very often knows exactly what they're looking for. They're looking for value for themselves, and that is very often in a higher-priced, yes option."
But according to the
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Eisenberg's], too much choice can be a bad thing, and too many "yes" options can run your customers screaming from your site.
"A yes-yes-yes option is probably one yes too many," says
http://www.calltoactionbook.com [Bryan Eisenberg]. "Remember, a choice connotes two things, and more options than that can be confusing and counterproductive."
