Trick to Increase Credibility and Reduce Price Sensitivity (for 2019)

Most sites are beginning to realize that reducing the amount of content on any given page can go a long way (when done correctly).

However, sometimes adding an extra element can help conversion rates.

But we need to be careful with what we choose to add and, perhaps more importantly, when and where.

Something businesses are always concerned about is establishing credibility. After all, shoppers don’t want to buy a product or sign up for a service if they aren’t certain it’s trusted and reputable.

So what’s a good time to build more credibility during the shopper’s experience?

Your product pages. Specifically, near the price of your product/service.

Why?
