Maximize Online Sales without Spending More Money on Advertising

Yahoo! evangelizes it. Studies prove it. And you need to know more about it.

Sell Now introduces the revolutionary concept of Conversion Design developed by Internet Marketing and Design guru Pedro Sostre. Sell Now invites you into a world where web design meets business objectives. It’s a more profitable world, and one with measurable results.

Stop dancing around the elephant in the room.

Books on usability, e-commerce and web copywriting have danced around Conversion Design principles for years. But no other book cuts through the buzzwords and right to the chase with tactics guaranteed to convert more of your visitors into buyers than you ever thought possible.

Sell Now takes you on a journey through critical e-business issues with in-depth case studies featuring some of the biggest names on the Net.

Receive the benefit of millions of dollars of research collected over the past decade of Internet marketing and design. Discover time-tested design tactics from the brick-and-mortar world and translate in-store marketing wisdom to your online venture. Save time and money as you develop design and copywriting strategies that close the sale. Quit wasting your advertising dollars. Design for results.

Sell Now is an easy read as presented by distinguished technology journalist Jennifer LeClaire. If you are looking for no-nonsense advice that will take your business to the next level without requiring another penny for advertising, then Sell Now is the smartest investment you can make this year.

Be sure to visit the web site for the new book, where you can get a sample chapter, news and pre-order your autographed copy today, or e-mail Updates@ConversionPress.com to get on our mailing list.
