View Summary \| Submitted: 2008-06-04 \| Word Count: 431 words \| Views: 34 view(s)

Streaming Audio used to be an expensive option for webmasters that made their sites stand out from the crowd. However, due to rapid improvements in technology, streaming audio costs have significantly reduced due to increased broadband penetration and improved streaming software efficiency.

Audio has always proved itself to be an effective tool for branding purposes and for increasing sales conversions on merchant websites. Due to the lower cost of hosting streaming audio solutions, virtually any webmaster can afford to install and host their own audio streaming script.

The main benefits for webmasters associated with streaming audio are:

1. Product conversion rates are increased

Through effectively using audio buttons on a website, customer interaction increases and improves the odds of converting an undecided customer into a paying customer. The more engaged a person is when shopping on your site, the better their shopping experience and the more likely they are to buy and to recommend your products to their friends.

2. Newsletter Subscriptions can increase

Most webmasters who build up subscriber lists are fully aware of the importance of building quality opt-in subscribers as this increases the chance of future sales of related products and services. Streaming audio clips can be included throughout website content that remind visitors about the site newsletter and the benefits of subscribing to it.

3. Existing inventory of products can be increased

If you currently sell any digital download products such as reports or e-books, it is possible to increase existing inventory through adding an audio version if appropriate. This can be added alongside existing products as a separate product or added to existing product to increase your competitive advantage over rivals.

4. Audio testimonials can add real value

Traditional written customer testimonials can serve a useful purpose in helping to convince potential visitors to your site into buying products. However, audio testimonials can add even more weight as it gives a voice to those satisfied customers.

5. Bounce rates are reduced

Adding audio to your website can help reduce bounce rates of website traffic. This improves the perception of usefulness in the eyes of search engines and can help gain more trust in your domain and therefore help stabilize your search engine ranking. It can also help improve site visitor experience by guiding visitors to useful sections within your website that may not otherwise be obvious from the basic navigation structure of your site.

Overall, if your website can actively engage visitors for longer periods of time, it will add more trust in your product or service. Implementing streaming audio can therefore indirectly increase sales conversions as visitors are also more likely to recommend your website to their friends.

Online Video Production

With the explosion of streaming video on the internet, there are more and more enquiries on how to make a good video. First of all, what does the word ‘good’ mean? A ‘good’ video actually means a video that is engaging, thought provoking and persuasive at the same time. Quite a tall order, don’t you think?

Business Promotion Videos

If you are into online selling of products and services, the one question uppermost in your mind would be how to showcase your products to prospects and clients in a way that needs minimum effort but has maximum impact. Business promotion videos can be of different types. You could use them to explain your business model, enumerate the benefits of your product or showcase success stories through effective customer testimonials.

Improve Business With Videos

According to a report in The New York Times, over 75 per cent of internet viewers in the United States watched online videos on a regular basis! Video related content makes up more than half of the information on the ternet. Need further proof that people love video? YouTube! This website contains only online videos and it is the fourth most visited website in the world!

Increase Sales with Video

Video creates immediate rapport between the sales person and the prospect. It effectively transmits your sincerity, depth of knowledge and commitment to the program you are promoting. In the past, marketers depended heavily on text messages to get them new customers. They printed glossy magazines by cartloads, sent away newsletters written by experts and printed sales letters that cost them millions of dollars. Yet, a good percentage of the effort and money going into these marketing strategies went kaput! Brochures ended up in trash bins and sales letters were often found below coffee cups.

Client Video Presentations

In case you did not know it, streaming video is the next big thing in Internet marketing. It has been hailed by internet experts and marketing gurus as the sales tool of 2008. There’s reason for that. Surveys show that streaming video reviews convert at 3-5 times the rate of text reviews. We are talking about three times the return at less than half the investment.
