Pros of using audio formats in your website

By Developer | January 18, 2010

Similar to the cell phones when introduced to the market in way back Streaming Audio used to be a costly option for webmasters that made websites stand out from the crowd. However, due to rapid advancement in technology, streaming audio expenditure has significantly been reduced due to increased broadband penetration and improved streaming software efficiency.

Audio has always proved itself to be an effective tool for branding purposes and for increasing sales conversions on merchant websites. Due to the lower cost of hosting streaming audio solutions, virtually any webmaster can afford to install and host their own audio streaming script.

The benefits associated with streaming audio are:

Increased prospect conversion rates
• With effective use of audio buttons on a website, customer interaction increases and revises the odds of converting an undecided customer into a paying customer. The more engaged a customer is with your website while shopping, the better his / her shopping experience would be, resulting into product buy and more likely to recommend your products to others.

Newsletter Subscriptions can be increased
• Most of the webmasters who build up subscriber lists are fully aware of the importance of building quality opt-in subscribers as this increases the chance of future sales of related products and services. Streaming audio clips can be included throughout website content that remind visitors about the site newsletter and the benefits of subscribing to it.

Inventory of digitally engaged products can be raised without added cost
• If your website currently sells any digital downloaded product such as reports or e-books, it is possible to increase existing inventory through adding an audio version if appropriate. This can be added alongside existing products as a separate product or added to existing product to increase your competitive advantage over rivals.

Audio testimonials can add genuine significance
