Testimonials Sequence for “Almost Buyers”
Why?
Your visitor is very close to buying from you but still didn’t. Maybe he just abandoned his shopping cart without paying, or he read many different articles and sales letters about your product and still didn’t buy.
How?
If you have an arsenal of testimonials, put the visitor on an automated sequence (email, Facebook ads, etc.) and only use one testimonial for each communication in the series. Just bombard them with testimonials one at a time. Build as long a sequence of testimonials as you can, and that still convert – don’t limit yourself to just one or two.

Live Interactive Testimonials
Why?
If successful it will engender a much higher trust.
How?
If you have raving fans and customers that you can trust, ask them if they are willing to receive email communications from your new potential clients. For those who do, put their email address as a caption under their picture in the testimonial, like this: “Want more information from me about XYZ? Feel free to ask me at email@domain.com”.

Customize Your Testimonials for Each Visitor
Why?
Instead of showing each visitor the same testimonials, make them load dynamically based on the visitor himself.
How?
The more you know about the visitor, the better you can show him the right testimonial. Even if you don’t know much, you can simply ask him what’s his main objection in a pop-up window listing the major ones. He just has to click on the one mostly on his mind. Based on the information you can dynamically load the testimonials in which your customer is telling their story and answering that exact objection the visitor has.

Convert More Visitors to Buyers With This Double Gift Ploy
Why?
If you are willing to give a discount, try this method for better a conversion rate.
How?
When they visit your store (offline or online) immediately give them a coupon with a particular money value they can spend (you can have a minimum purchase amount set to use this coupon.) Now also inform them that if they buy today, you will give them the same amount again as a present when they pay, effectively doubling their bonus. Now they have what seems like two gifts, but only if they buy now.

Get a Small Payment Commitment and Convert More Visitors to Buyers With Higher Transaction Values
Why?
It will help you convert more visitors to buyers and have a higher transaction value for such a buyer.
How?
When they enter your shop, ask them if they want to get into a raffle where every day (or week) you randomly select one buyer and refund their entire purchase for that day. They only have to buy a very low-cost raffle ticket (max $1.) You can also decide to donate the revenue from selling the raffle tickets to charity and let them know this.
This little tactic will already convert them from a visitor to a buyer – they already spent money with you. This will now lurk in the back of their mind when browsing at your store: “buying more will get me a bigger jackpot if I win.” If you are giving the proceedings from the raffle tickets sales to charity (and don’t forget to let them know this), they will also feel good about themselves and be more likely to spend more money on themselves.
