More Conversions. Replace your CTAs and email/optin subscriber boxes with WP Conversion Boxes and skyrocket your conversion rate. == Description == = Same Traffic. More Conversions. = WP Conversion Boxes helps you to boost the conversion rate of the call-to-actions and email subscriber boxes that you already have on your blog. Replace the CTAs, option/email subscriber boxes with WP Conversion Boxes and increase your click through rates (for CTAs) and subscription rate (for email optins) with no change in traffic. WP Conversion Boxes helps you to easily create a call-to-action or an email subscriber box that you can put below your posts/pages or almost anywhere on your blog using short codes. = What’s different in WP Conversion Boxes? = There are a lot features that set WP Conversion Boxes apart from competition: * Create multiple conversion boxes - This feature is specially very important if you are serious about conversion rate on your blog from your CTAs or email subscription boxes. Most people use just one version of CTA or email subscription box under their posts/pages (or elsewhere). But this is what affects the conversion rate the most as the copy written in the box not always match the content written in the respective posts/pages. But with WP Conversion Boxes you can create as may variation of the boxes you want, specific to content of the posts/page where you put it. You can also have different boxes for different categories for targeting people with specific interests with specific box copies. * Track Your Conversions - Know how many people visited the page containing your conversion box, the number of people who actually scrolled the page down and saw the box! and the number of people who actually clicked on your call to action or filled in their email address. Know specifically the boxes and posts/pages that are bringing you the most conversions and then use that data to optimise your call to action copy or use the same copy across your site or whatever you want to do with that useful data. * Advanced Template System - If you already have a designed conversion box on your blog, you don’t have to change it’s design to use WP Conversion Boxes! With our advanced templating system, you can easily create custom templates for WP Conversion Boxes. So now, you get to keep your initial design but with a more advance managing and conversion tracking system. You may design the template on your own or you may get the template made for WP Conversion Boxes for just $49 by contacting us. The plugin also includes advanced real-time template customiser which can be used to edit almost every aspect of your template without the need to ever touch the code! * High Impact Box Settings - Grab the visitor’s attention with flashing conversion box. WP Conversion Boxes comes with an option to flash the box when user scrolls down and reaches the box. This flashing of the box grabs the visitor’s attention, increasing the chances of conversion. The plugin also comes with an option to make the conversion box sticky. This causes the box to stick to the top of the window when the visitor scrolls past the box, again helping you to grab the attention of the visitors. * Video Enabled Conversion Boxes - Create call to action and email subscription boxes with embedded video for more impact. Having a short video in your conversion boxes can help you boost your conversions many folds. = WP Conversion Boxes Features = * Create unlimited number of conversion boxes. * Create various types of conversion boxes: * Call To Action Box (Heading, description, image and a CTA button) * Video Call To Action Box (Heading, description, video and a CTA button) * Email Optin Box (Heading, description, image and email optin form) * Video Optin Box (Heading, description, video and email optin form) * Easy to manage dashboard for all your conversion boxes. * 10+ free box templates. * Templating system to add your own templates (or ask us to make one for you). * Real-time template customiser. Almost complete control over the design using customiser. No need to touch the code of template. * Option to make the box fade in/out (flash) to grab visitor’s attention. * Option to make the box sticky (stick to top of window when scrolled past). * Detailed box statistics for each conversion box: * Unique Visitors * Pageviews * Box Views * Conversion * Conversion Rate (%) * Detailed stats showing the 10 top performing posts/pages with above given details. * Global settings to set default conversion boxes under all posts/pages. * Global settings to override the default conversion box and set different conversion box for posts and pages. * Shortcode for each conversion box. Place the conversion box anywhere on your blog using shortcode. * To place the box in the content of post/page, use `[wpcb id=“#”]` * To add the box inside your theme, use `` = Here’s How It’ll Help You Boost Your CTA/Email Subscriber Conversions = Quick step-by-step guide on boosting your conversion rate using WP Conversion Boxes: 1. Install the plugin. Note: You get the following 3 important stats (which you generally get with premium plugins) that you have to keep an eye on: 1. Number of box views (unlike page views, it calculates how many times your box was actually seen, after scrolling down, etc) 2. Number of conversions (if you are using a CTA, it’s the # of people who clicked on the button and if you using email optin box, it’s the # of times people actually filled the form.) 3. Conversion rate (%) (Number of Conversions / Number of box views %) 2. Now, create a conversion box with your desired copy and put it on the posts/pages you want using shortcode. Or you can also go about this by creating multiple conversion boxes with different color/copy combination and putting on different posts/pages instead of one for all. 3. Wait for a week for the stats to gather for the conversion box and then go to Statistics page to see which box has performed the best. These stats will help you figure out which copy of your box is working the best and which are not. Simply repace the boxes which are not working with the ones that are showing the best results. Conversion Tip: I have found that using different copies for posts of different categories on your blog works best. For example if you have a Facebook PPC category and a Google Adwords PPC category, using two different copies related to the topic of the post helps improving the conversions many folds. NOTE - To further pump this up, I’ve included A/B Testing feature in the [Pro](http://wpconversionboxes.com/) version of this plugin. So if you are a more advanced user, using the [WP Conversion Boxes Pro](http://wpconversionboxes.com/) version will be more beneficial. 4. This steps goes with the step #3. On the Statistics page you’ll also see an option for Detailed Stats under each box. Clicking it will take you to a page showing top 10 most performing pages/posts for that particular conversion box. Each showing all the stats given above for the listed posts/pages. Now this is where it really starts getting exciting. On this detailed stats page, you’ll get two important datas: page with most conversions and box which brought the conversion. Conversion Tip: I have found that pages with most traffic are not always the ones bringing the most conversions. With this data you’ll have a winner combination of a post/page and a conversion box! Keep on making the changes to the copy and monitoring how combinations are working out. Soon you’ll have a perfect post/page and conversion box combination bringing the most conversions out of that particular post/page. Now move to the other posts and pages and repeat the process until the list exhausts and you have with you the best possible optimised combinations of posts/pages and conversion boxes! Conversion Tip: The above method will prove to be very tedious if you have a lot of posts on your blog. I’d suggest you to rather focus of posts of different categories to simplify things. For example if you have a Facebook PPC category and a Google Adwords PPC category with 6 posts each, make 3 different copies of conversion boxes for each category and put a conversion box under two posts of respective categories and monitor the stats. Soon you’ll know which conversion box is working for the posts of a particular category and you can then replace the non-working conversion boxes with the best working one. You can call this category level optimisation. If you want to pump the conversions even further you can do it at post/page level (as described in steps above). You will usually find these features being sold in premium plugins.
