It’s about developing trust in your brand, which then helps to sell your business to the customer. Recently, research has found that more than 80% of customers look at your website before deciding to buy anything, while as many as 60% of your customers check out your social media profiles.
Most worrying of all for businesses, is that almost 55% of customers will hop onto another website if they don’t find those earlier trust points in your brand.
