Your RSS Feed is Part of Your Display Merchandising

RSSImage via Wikipedia

The design of your site looks great (or maybe that mock-up is looking great). Glad you're on top of it.  But do you subscribe to your own RSS feed?

It's also part of your display merchandising — and you should be subscribing to it. You should be reading your feed (your inventory) along with all the others:

  • Does your headline slow down your scroll (or "next" clicks)?
  • Is there content above the fold that grabs you — or is there only ads above the click?
  • Is your name listed as author – or does "admin" write your site?
  • That image that took you way too long to find, is it above the scroll bar – and does it add to the story?

If you don't subscribe to any feeds (and you should), we have a whole 'nuther problem. And another post.

But today, subscribe to your own blog and see what your readers see. It's Display Merchandising 101.
