Marketing strategies are designed to cater to this requirement, and for some businesses their web page plays the major role in driving customers and sales. However many businesses often have their focus misdirected, as owners concentrate on driving traffic flow to their website, forgetting that it does not potentially mean anything if the visitors cannot be persuaded to buy the product.
