A Step-by-Step Guide to Generating Clients by Writing Case Studies | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

You can use many methods to improve your conversion rate.

But very few can improve your conversion rate as much as case studies can.

Case studies have a few big benefits:

  • they resonate with prospects
  • they show that your product or service can work
  • the transparency increases the trust a reader has in you


All of these benefits are important, but the last one—in particular.


Trust is one of the most important factors in conversion rate optimization....

Forrester scored companies according to various factors, including the appeal of their website content and use of video. The companies had the potential to score a perfect 30, or obtain a passing score of 20 or above. Only four companies successfully passed Forrester’s test; the average score was 12.8. Forrester did not reveal the names of the four companies that passed its test.


“The biggest problem is that the majority of content talks about the company, what its products and services do and how many awards they’ve won, but doesn’t speak to the issues their prospective buyers are trying to solve,” said Laura Ramos, Forrester analyst, according to Ad Age.

Why Brands Should Stop Idolizing Oreo's Social Media Strategy

It is quirky and fun in a way that most of us have come to expect from Oreo’s ever since the brand’s award winning Daily Twist campaign more than a year ago which featured a relevant daily image of Oreo’s in fun situations and inspired brand envy from marketers around the world for their perfectly timed “Dunk In The Dark” tweet from the 2013 Super Bowl.Yet for all the kudos that the brand gets for its social media efforts – there is one thing that seems certain about the #OreoLab campaign … you won’t find any sign of its existence a month or two from now....

Amanda Wall's curator insight, November 1, 2014 9:11 PM

This article is a good example of why it is important to strategically plan social media campaigns. Using Oreo as an example this article goes on to example what worked and what didn't work with their campaigns. Oreo is an award winning brand just for their advertising alone, however, according to this article once they start a campaign the don't finish it. 

 

Example from article:

"Last year the brand spent millions to launch the “Cookie vs. Creme” campaign pitting consumers who loved the cookie part of Oreo’s against those who love the creme. Today, the URL is inactive and the only trace of that campaign is an occasional YouTube video."


A campaign that could have been extremely successful if followed through properly. It is important to the world of PR to look at what worked and what didn't work, so you can grow and create successful future campaigns. 

Dean Ryan G. Martin's curator insight, November 2, 2014 5:26 AM

Let’s begin with a caveat: You can’t fake trust.“Words not backed by action are meaningless,” says Darlene Price, president of Well Said, Inc. and author of “Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results.”


“You can use the right words and phrases to sound ‘trusting,’ but language is no replacement for being a trustworthy person. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, ‘Who you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you’re saying.’"


Price says the word “trust” comes the Old Norse word treysta, meaning “to rely on or have confidence in.”


“The basis for a healthy, productive relationship is trust,” she explains. “As a professional, it’s critical to earn the trust of those with whom you work.”...
