This post briefly touches on a number of items from our monthly checklist that we use for our regular clients. These methods will help you convert more users into customers, gain more positive brand experiences, and help you rank better in search engines.
In most cases all of these techniques have been proven to have a positive effect, however I advise you to always test in order to determine whether the change has the same positive effect on your business as it varies.
Use this as your pre-launch checklist and contribute to it in the comments at the end of this post – I will update the post with more techniques as we research and test them.
I hope you enjoy it.
Recently while working on a client project, a good point was brought up: why use “Add to Cart” if you can just leave it as “Buy it Now”, and what is the difference between these two?
While neither Amazon nor eBay have released any official information on their research/analytics, I still thought that these two will be the perfect examples to demonstrate the differences.
People read at different rates, especially online. Some people prefer to scan quickly and some like to read every. single. word. In general, everyone reads more quickly online because, even with the advantages that technology has given us like tablets, it’s still not the most comfortable experience in the world.

A friend recently sent me a link to an article in the Wall Street Journal titled “How Can Jeans Cost $300?”
Written by Christina Binkley, the article talks about “the Phantom,” a new style of jeans from True Religion. These True Religion jeans sell for $375 versus the $50 one might pay for a pair of plain Levi’s.
In trying to explain how jeans can be worth $375 dollars, Binkley takes a very rational approach. She explains that Levi’s are made outside of the United States where labour is cheaper. True Religion jeans, meanwhile, are made inside of the USA where the cost of labour is much higher. And they’re made with slightly “better” materials as well. So they should cost more, right?
Wrong.
This is a case study that I wrote a few years back while we were working on the second iteration of the popular ShoeGuru online shop. It didn't get included in this new website due to its length, so I thought instead of letting it go to waste, I'd re-post it in a looong blog entry for people to read it, and hopefully get educated or inspired to do cool stuff.
This post will give you a better understanding of the work it takes to create one of the most talked about eCommerce websites in the world.
At long last, I’ve finally found time to read "The Buying Brain: Secrets for Selling to the Subconscious Mind
Written by neuromarketing pioneer A.K. Pradeep, "The Buying Brain" is more or less an introductory course in neuromarketing.
Throughout his book, Pradeep uses plenty of real-life case studies that are easy to understand. This makes the book accessible to anyone and fun to read.
While the first chapters of “The Buying Brain” offer a very general overview of neurobiology—and may start off a bit slow for anyone with a psychology background—the book soon picks up steam.
Here are some of my favourite nuggets of neuromarketing insight from “The Buying Brain.”

Nowadays lots of companies support a charity or “cause.” For instance, companies like Avon donate money to breast cancer research, while other companies champion literacy or promise to save the environment.
It’s great that these businesses are giving back to the community, but most business aren’t supporting causes just for the sake of it, they’re supporting these causes to: market, themselves, attract new customers, and make more money.
But does it work? It depends. To help explain, here are 8 things you need to know about cause-related marketing (CRM)
