The Reality
of Successful Web Site Today
by: Alan Wasser
For a number
of reasons, the analysis of customers'
feedback is too often given little
attention. Still, people who ignore research
are as dangerous as generals who ignore
decodes of enemy signals (c) David Ogilvy.
It's an inexcusable omission for those, who
strive for having a successful web site.
There are dozens of ways to receive feedback
and unlimited ideas for your customer
service improvement in it. But you can't
afford phone everybody from your CRM list or
correspond with each customer via email or
regular mail. It will flatter them but
bother you. Fortunately there is such a
magic tool as web-based forms, which allow
site owners to automate the process and to
use the received data in your analysis; the
analysis, aimed at your web site usability
optimizing.
What actually
stands behind "web forms"? The obvious
advantages are:
You have no
limits in your custom web form creation. You
can use any configuration, any number of
interactivity forms: a simple, yet good
marketing tool to receive the overall
feedback from your customers. You can build
one-page, multi-page and pop-up forms.
You provide
additional contact channels to your
visitors. You back up your promise of
individual approach by open contacts
demonstration. It's not a redundancy, it's
an additional prove of your care about
customers.
You make them
stay at your web site. You can configure
your web forms so that users will never
leave your site. For instance, a user
submits the form, which is processed. You
are emailed the results and the user is
instantly redirected to a page of your
choosing, etc.
You can carry
out as many online surveys as you want.
Place at your site the link like this: "Take
part in our online survey!" Explain them,
that their opinion is highly appreciated and
is indeed the first driving force of your
work. They can't help taking advantage of
expressing their thoughts. You, in your
turn, will learn them inside out, learn more
about their preferences, their critics and
thereby use their feedback to optimize your
approach to cooperating with them.
You need no
special programming skills to install web
forms creation program. Most web form
software is normally realized on PHP/MySQL
technology and can be easily added into any
web site. You have multi-functional tool:
web forms are meant for marketers, HR
managers, customer support; in general, to
those, who are looking to perform surveys
and analyze the results quickly and
efficiently. With all its advantages and
benefits, web forms building software allows
budget-minded site owners to create
eye-catching and graphically oriented
surveys and gather the precious information
for your business strategy optimizing
without having to shell out tens of
thousands of dollars. Web forms are the
tools that reduce the budget without
sacrificing the level of professionalism
involved. You maximize returns and obtain
reliable data for providing better service
to your customers. Sometimes when you want
to make greater profit, you don't need to
earn more money; you might just need to
spend it reasonably and the results will
exceed your expectations.
