What You’ll Learn
Chapter 1: Shortcuts
To fully grasp and effectively utilize the psychological principles and optimization tactics detailed in Behind The Click, it’s essential to understand the mental shortcuts our brains use to navigate the vast amount of information we encounter daily. This insight will give you a richer understanding of how your customers think and act, allowing you to implement strategies that really resonate.
Chapter 2: Discovery
The Discovery phase is where customers form initial impressions based on whether the company understands their problem and has a potential solution. These impressions are influenced by subconscious biases and preconceived notions, making it essential to guide users effectively.
Chapter 3: Information Gathering
Merely presenting information isn’t sufficient for customers to find what they need. You must understand your website and products from the customer’s perspective, recognizing gaps in information and navigation challenges that may not be obvious to someone familiar with the website.
Chapter 4: Decision Making & Conversions
Your careful guidance along a curated digital journey hits its most pivotal moment when it becomes time to make a decision and convert. The ease with which customers move from information collection to decision-making, and ultimately to checkout or signup, presents a unique chance to make this decision seem like an inevitable end to their journey. The more straightforward and guided the process is, the more easily customers can decide and convert.
Chapter 5: Post-Purchase
Despite a smooth journey leading to a successful checkout, the journey doesn’t end there. A complete digital experience not only guarantees customer satisfaction but also fosters retention and future transactions.
