Website Traffic Conversion

In this month's ScreamingBox Technology and Business Rundown podcast, we get into a detailed conversation about how businesses can convert incoming website traffic into customers and sales. Our guest this month is James Hipkin from Red8 Interactive. In this podcast, our host Dave Erickson and Botond Seres look to James to explain the ins and outs of website traffic conversion and digital marketing in ways that will make sense to all those listening. James has worked in Marketing and Advertising for almost 40 years, with clients such as Sprint, Apple, Nestlé, and Toyota. He never loses track of what’s important and he believes that when done right, Marketing creates value for customers as well as the business. Today, James is passionate about websites and helping the rest of us understand online marketing. His clients value his jargon-free, common-sense approach. In this podcast we answer website traffic conversion questions such as: How much time does website content have to hook the visitor? What are the most important things to have on your landing pages?
One of the most critical challenges for web based businesses such as B2B Services, eCommerce and Web Store Fronts, is how do you get the traffic flowing to the website, to actually convert into some kind of action? A big part of that question is also the question of what is the customer journey that traffic is looking for? James Hipkin has been dealing with these questions and challenges for many years, and has a great wealth of experience in Website traffic Conversion.
