Reasons Why High Conversion Rate Graphic Design Is Essential

By Irv Fredericks


Many commercial artists, graphic designers and web designers emphasize the looks, features and layout of their work when pitching themselves to potential clients. While artistry, overall appearance and ease of navigation are important, designers and clients alike should also look at the conversion rates of graphics and text.

If the end goal is for a particular logo, design, website or infographic to attract more customers and increase the amount of money a given business is making, designers who create high conversion graphics should be in high demand.

The meaning of "high conversion" should be properly understood. You need to be aware of conversion rates if you want to understand the value of high conversion graphic.

In Internet marketing, "conversion rate" means the percentage of clicks generated by an online advert, picture, random link or any kind of copy or artwork that represents a particular service. To make it easier to grasp, it simply means the number of people who notice a copy or image posted on the internet and then go straight to the website of that business or another page put up by the same business. A conversion rate for web design generally measures the percentage of individuals who buy an item from a site in proportion to the number of visitors that it receives.

To a local business, conversion is everything. What Internet marketers know that many graphic designers and business owners don't know is that conversion rates are everything. Conversion rates measure the percentage of people who see something representing a business (like a logo or a link) and take action as a result. While having an easily navigable site and friendly, appealing graphics are important, they're really all in the service of increasing a business's conversion rate.

When businesses search for good graphic design, they usually want one that relates to what they do or projects a particular mood to potential customers. It is sensible to emphasize these aspects but more emphasis should be placed on conversion rates.

How Can You Know What a Conversion Rate Will Be in Advance? Unfortunately, there's no way to know for sure what the conversion rate of a particular graphic will be in advance. However, some information on conversion rates for wide categories of graphic design exists. Research has shown, unsurprisingly, that emotional images work the most effectively to get viewers to take action based on the image they've viewed.

It's also possible to do a certain amount of research on the conversion rates of particular designs. A business could try out a potential new ad or web image via email first and look at the amount of traffic it brings in. It can also ask any potential graphic designer it's considering working with to provide information about the conversion rates of logos, graphics or other web pages he or she has created in the past.

Checking previous or possible conversion rates before hiring a graphic design professional can help a business to get better results in online and offline marketing. Beautiful images and pages that look very expensive can increase the reputation or credibility of the company. However, it is only when the websites, designs and text turn visitors to customers that the business will be viable.
