It is important to realize that each customer will make there buying decision in a unique way. Not everyone needs to see the same information. Some make decisions spontaneously while others will do a lot of research. Most marketing materials and websites are designed to attract or sell to only one style of customer, and this is usually the same style as the person who created it. If your website only speaks to one type of customer, then that is the only type of customer that it will work for.
The real benefit of a website as a marketing tool is the ability to speak to all types of different customers at the same time. The visitor to a website has the choice to read, view, and click on the sections that interest them most. This allows you to create multiple paths to a sale to cover all of your bases. Each customer should be able to get all of the information that they need to make a buying decision so they can actually make that decision.
So how do you achieve this? Well first you have to understand what motivates people to buy. Decisions can be broken down to logical and emotional or a combination of the two. Some customers make decisions based on numbers, some customers make decisions based on features, and some based on image or other people using the product, while some will just pick arbitrarily based on name, colour, or packaging. The key is to try and understand why customers choose to buy your product or service and get each of those messages across to them. If you are only selling to one type of customer on your website, then you are leaving sales on the table. By simply changing the information that you provide to appeal to more types of customers, you will find an increase in your sales.
