CAN YOU GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS A BETTER ONLINE EXPERIENCE?
Introducing a new service for DBN members
How easy is it for your customers to find the products and services they are looking for and how easy is it for them to buy from you?
Here's how it works. We invite a couple of our members to meet with you online to chat about what you want your website and social media to do for your business. Over a few days they will visit your website and media pages as "shoppers" and then give you constructive feedback about what works and what could be even better. We have a checklist of things to look for so it is consistent no matter who carries it out.
Please let us know if you would like us to check out your website or the social media pages you sell from and we'll set up an online meeting between you and your two "shoppers" so you can chat about what you need from your customer experience healthcheck. Drop us an email at connect@dobusinessnetwork.com.
