In the digital age, effective communication is crucial for online profitability. It often requires multiple follow-ups via email to secure a sale from your website, given the plethora of similar products or services available to visitors. If you're still relying on direct email links and waiting for inquiries to pour in, it's time for a change. Here's why you should consider transitioning to Forms immediately:
Forms are an excellent tool for business growth and efficient time management. However, to maximize their efficiency, they need to be processed through CGI.
Don't fret if you don't have a CGI bin. Here are two resources that can help:
Matt Wright's FormMail: A powerful, free CGI script with many customization features and robust security measures. It's easy to install and allows you to run an unlimited number of Forms through a single script.
Whiz-Mail: A free service that allows you to use Forms even without access to a CGI bin. It's remotely-hosted, meaning you can use it from virtually anywhere. The Form remains on your site, and after submission, the user will return to your page. You can fully configure the service, add autoresponders, and implement subscription management into your Forms.
Whether you use a script hosted on your server or a remotely-hosted service, automating customer satisfaction tasks without losing personalization is essential. Remember, personalization is a key factor in the success of your business, both online and offline.
