It really depends on what type of promo it is. I failed epically with it once - seduction4idiots.com << I had a sexy chick all flirtatious however the first words that came out of her mouth on autoplay were "Welcome To Seduction For Idiots.com!". I can only imagine how NOT appropriate that would be at work, at home, at a friends, etc. I probably humiliated 9/10 visitors - and it turned into a joke site... The moment I got rid of the talking woman, my conversions improved... It's an old product now but that was my worst experience with them. I find it a)distracting b)sometimes long loading c)too 'in your face' d)little control over it e)amazing for the RIGHT type of product, and horrible for most others. Hit or miss imo - split testing is in order if you do decide to get one for your site. Lately, for me - NO talking person, NO optin popup, no optin anywhere, no autoplay/audio/video anywhere, is working best. Non intrusive just curiosity engaging tactics i.e. softselling is working well for the high ticket items. Something to chew on... N.
Those talking people really do my head in. You're afraid to load the site in case one of them pops up. And especially with the "models" speaking... it looks totally false. The other forex products have okay ones because they use the actual authors but if you're just putting some woman on there, I think it makes the product and brand look cheaper than it needs to.
I switch them off immediately. I think they are perfect for "average joe" or the "grey mass", who become excited about something, if it's professionally said, like LiveFaceOnTheWeb does.... I find them annoying, and I don't give a crap, what they are talking about, because I am not blind, and I can read what the sales page says.
I agree 100% with norb. The only real way is to split test, however before you even do that, sit down and think about your site, and what kind of person would work best. Im not sure if your allowed to chose what they say or not I assume you would be able to, so pick your words very wisely.
I hate them as a customer but... I am definitely considering adding one to my website (diet.) I think it depends greatly on your niche / types of customers. Internet savvy people probably find them quite annoying in general.
I close any webpage where one of these pops up as quickly as possible. They annoy me so much. However non internet proficient people may see them as cool or a more professional website.
I think it didnt help too much, except if you get thousands of visitor every day. Life Face is good for social sites, but to sell a money making products, try youtube.
it's an interesting topic ... personally i HATE them ... i'm browsing away peacefully in my room, suddenly this annoying voice comes on ... for that very reason i normally browse with the sound off ... so thats my 2c ... personally it amazes me if it does increase conversions ... but hey, maybe it's what some people need to finally convince them, kind of like an online commerical ...
See when people are interested to get rid of xyz they keep their eyes and ears open, these people are info hungry. So if you give info which is in the medium of live person it will help for sure. I would like to share one of my example.. Recently, i got a problem with my host and planing to switch, at the time i came across ixwebhosting they have LiveFaceOnTheWeb. I just sit back relax and listen what the erika says after all the blah blah i had done some home work checking reviews and all, finally i am with ixwebhosting. Moral is when you need a particular info or thing you are open to all options to grab the info. pop ups and LiveFaceOnTheWeb annoy me when ever i am searching free information and not ready to buy.
As IMers, most talking or music annoys the $%$ out of us. Personally I gave LFOW.com a tryout, and here are my results. 65% Less Sales Than Usual, and I don't do 5-6 sales a day, I have some descent numbers. I posted it up, the actor did a really good job, it came out looking good. I posted it up, and Bloop! And Unfortunately I actually lost more money in sales than on the lousy $250 flash! If you have a niche that is worth it, then please share it. But Just wanted to let you know, if it's not in your budget, i would just leave it alone. Vene
Hi, do you mind sharing which site is it or at least in which niche? From all the comments in here its obvious that livefaceonweb works for certian niches while for others does not, it all depends on the targeted people, some people find it cool and professional therefore increase sales while other people (normally the most advanced once) are not so easily influenced...
THEY ARE A SCAM !!! If you are attracted by the cheap price of $259 to get yourself a live spokesperson on your site and thinking about www.livefaceonweb.com to do it, STOP right there and read this before. I contacted this company that operates using a quite modern site and I have to recognize that psychologically, when I see a modern website with a nice design, I immediately assume the company behind it is quite large and reliable : NO !!! I made a payment of $300 to livefaceonweb.com to get a live spokesperson on my site and here is what happened : First, I have to say : if that was to do again, I wouldn't. Why ? For a few reasons : 1- The video was supposed to be delivered in A COUPLE OF DAYS, it took 10 days instead. At this point, I knew that they were not reliable already. When a company advertises 2 days for the delivery, and one week after still nothing, then you know something is wrong. 2 - Imagine how angry I was when I saw that this clip that I payed $300 had to display a huge logo and link straight to their website from my site's homepage and that they refused to help me remove it ! When I told them that I judged that for $300 I did not think it was reasonnable to maintain a link from my homepage straight to their site, they had the b...s to ask me for another $150 to remove the branding ! 3 - They won't accept to refund anything or to help me in getting this ridiculously big logo/link from my site : www.livefaceonweb.com is the biggest scam possible : DO NOT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD THEY SAY, THEY WILL BE VERY SWEET UNTIL THEY GET YOUR MONEY AND THEN WILL IGNORE YOU COMPLETELY !
Bro, you should have read their terms and conditions before purchasing the $259 plan. You can't really expect them to change their rules for a single customer. I have not personally used them but I have had a client use them without any problem. And yes, Good & Late is better than Bad & Quick
I deleted my Liveface presentation and conversions increased.. Also, their customer service lied to me during the ordering process and harassed me over the phone.. They offer horrible customer service in imho. I don't think these presentations help much, if atall. I would spend the few hundred in other more productive ways.
They're only good for ecommerce sites (physical products) For info-products and affiliate sites? They're distracting.
In my opinion they are good for nothing, sorry to disagree with a few of you but I find them distracting or annoying makine me want to leave the page quickly. Also if they treat their customers the way people have stated here then I really would never even consider using their services
Agreed. I failed too when it came to some professional market promotions. It really makes your website and the whole product look cheap with some second or third class actor/actress posted on your sales page. Plus, it really slowed down your website loading speed. very bad for me.
I cant agree with you more!!! If you really want information on something and want to solve a problem, you will set and listen to what they are saying on that website! One big mistake most internet marketer do is try to associate their personal likes and dislikes with that of their business. Just because you don't like LiveFaceOnTheWeb dose not mean your potential buyers wont like it too. In fact, your opinion on them does not count one bit. It is the opinion of your potential buyers which really counts. After all you are there to make money aren't you? That is why it is often said testing is the only answer to every internet marketing question, cos you never know exactly what the majority of your costumers want, unless you test and test. I for one have had great success with pup ups and live face on web. There are also very good for directly linking. At least for me.
