Marketing Tips to Sell Software Online

RegNow is ok. But to sell software with 0.8 - 3% conversation rate is not.

Test #1: Testing Domain Names In our first test, we wanted to identify the best domain name for a computer hardware retailer. After brainstorming a list of 34 potential domain names, we determined that these five had the most potential: TechSavings.com PCPavilion.com BuyTech.com ComputerHardwareDepot.com ComputerHardwareDirect.com We wanted to determine which of these domain names best “connects” with a buyer’s expectations. To do so, we utilized a feature of Google AdWords that allows you to rotate a number of ad variations. Each Google AdWords ad was identical other than the domain name listed in the ad. Each had the same copy, the same headline, and the same fifteen keywords. All five ads had the same maximum per-click bid ($0.31). Because all of the other elements were the same, we determined that the ad with the best click-through rate (CTR) would indicate the best domain name. Here are the results of that test: Domain Name Test Domain Name Max. CPC Avg. CPC Avg. Position CTR ComputerHardwareDepot.com $0.31 $0.23 2.7 0.6% BuyTech.com $0.31 $0.17 2.7 0.5% ComputerHardwareDirect.com $0.31 $0.16 3.3 0.3% TechSavings.com $0.31 $0.25 2.7 0.3% PCPavilion.com $0.31 $0.25 2.8 0.2% TOTAL $0.31 $0.22 2.8 0.4% What You Need To UNDERSTAND: ComputerHardwareDepot.com performed the best (0.6% CTR), followed closely by BuyTech.com (0.5% CTR). Because these ads had a higher CTR, they tended to maintain a higher average position for a lower average cost per click (CPC). The implications of this simple test are quite powerful. Using Google AdWords Select, a savvy marketing team can, in a sense, “see into the mind of the consumer.” They no longer have to rely on guesswork or “personal favorites” to try to predict which domain name will perform the best. KEY POINT: Personal opinions or intuitions about the best name are often wrong. There is no substitute for actual testing. In addition to domain names, you can successfully use Google AdWords to help you determine: The best names for a new product or service offering (see below). The best Unique Value Proposition (UVP) for your overall business. The most effective sales copy. In the balance of this report, we will focus on how to test product and service names to determine the name with the best market potential. Test #2: Testing Product Names In our second test, we wanted to determine Follow

early-buying-process “tried other “ late-stage “quick turnaround”   Usually making backups once per 2 years (before reinstalling a Windows), I never got the point of paying for this kind of software.

He’s busy, so he’ll check the files later. Coming home he opens the downloaded archive on his Flash card and finds nothing else than a .xml file with no hint what do next.         Online Backup Services Our Online Data Backup Services currently protect over 150 million files   Free 30 Day Trial -          No Credit Card Required -          Free Support     Doen’t become the 391 109th!   Research shows that 70% of companies that suffer a major data loss in a disaster go out of business within 1 year.    a “set it and forget it” backup solution       “When we experienced a server crash at one of our office locations, we attempted to restore our data from our on-site tape backup.
