The Desired Visitor Outcome
08/05/07
However complex an online communications project might seem, there really are only two questions that planners need to ask and answer:1) Who do we wish to attract?
2) What do we want them to do?
I've seen senior marketing people visibly relax when I've told them this.
The answer to Q1 will be somewhere in the marketing plan (You do have one don't you?). What type of people do we want to come to the site and buy/learn/interact? In that group, who is most likely to be using the web? Are there other easier less costly ways to reach those people?
The answer to Q2 provides the 'desired visitor outcome'. This outcome must do 2 things: It must satisfy a user need and achieve a marcomms objective for the publisher.
Document your 'desired visitor outcome' and then take a look at the content and user journeys in your site. Can you spot friction and momentum on those paths to the desired visitor outcome? Remove the friction and increase the momentum and you'll improve the return on investment in your website.
