How about the design of your competitors web site? You can learn more about what is more attractive and compelling to your customer by comparing your web design to that of your competitors. For example... is your web site easy to navigate? Do you have a consistent focus on one or two productsservices?

Does your competitors web site offer more online payment options than you do? Are they easier to use? Do they send an automatic thank you with each order?
What about customer service? Does your competitor follow up with their customers to determine their level of satisfaction? Do they offer real time online customer support?
What about price? Where is your pricing compared to your competitor?
