Expanding Business Horizons with ConveyThis
These words were first spoken by a 19th-century British-Austrian philosopher. Times have inevitably changed, yet this idea remains as relevant as ever, particularly when viewed from a commercial perspective.
Why so? A study shows that 3 out of 4 (or 75%) of customers will not make crucial purchasing decisions if they do not understand the language in which the product or service is presented. Essentially, this means that if you do not advertise your goods and services in a language your potential clients comprehend, they are unlikely to become your actual customers.
Today, when only 25% of internet users are native English speakers, it’s time for businesses and organizations to think about offering information in as many languages as possible to expand their customer base.
To demonstrate the impact of this on businesses, we will examine some of the best multilingual WordPress sites, of course, utilizing ConveyThis.
Multilingual sites are not limited to WordPress, however, among content management systems, it is one of the best. If you are wondering whether WordPress is right for you, take a look at our infographic below!
Real Estate Power and Multilingualism with ConveyThis
How about this for a home page? A potent tech company specializing in real estate, based in a Canadian province, tops our list. The company presents a unique market proposition and has engineered an online infrastructure to cater to both investors and property buyers. At inception, a mere 12% of businesses in the province utilized internet advertising. The company solves a unique problem by unifying a platform where buyers, investors, and others can search for real estate professionals, contractors, properties, and short-term vacation rentals – all online.
The Canadian province, where the company is headquartered, is one of the few where the majority speaks French. However, given the province’s population includes English, French, and bilingual speakers, it was essential to accommodate both languages. As a result, they chose a French → English translation using the WordPress translation plugin ConveyThis.
The site design exudes professionalism, with a clear color theme, captivating videos, and other striking visuals. Now, thanks to an accessible language switcher in the top corner of the page, visitors can easily switch to their most comfortable language, significantly expanding their potential client base.
