Recently we have started making 30 day evaluation versions of our software available
Ok, First of all, 30 day evaluation is OK, but 60-90 would be better. However, I know you're trying to make a sale, so ok, 30 day evaluation. But the real question is, is the software crippled in ANY way?! If it is, then you're going to loose some people. When I evaluate a piece of software, I need to see EVERYTHING, otherwise, what kind of evaluation is it REALLY??
An email containing a username and password is sent to the registrant a few hours after submission.
MISTAKE! I think a few people have commented on this one. A FEW HOURS?!?! If I'm looking for something, then I most likely NEED IT RIGHT NOW! Think about it, what are these people going to do while they wait for your username and password? They're going to continue searching for similar software, in other words, YOUR COMPETITORS! Make the registration stuff required before they download, but make the download available IMMEDIATELY after they register. DON'T MAKE THEM WAIT!
Just to recap, if it's evaluation, make sure they can FULLY evaluate the software if you really want to win them over. Make it REALLY EASY to obtain the evaluation software.
