Give Visitors A Reason To Fill Out Your Forms

No one likes to fill out forms that are too long or seem to ask for too much (or sensitive) information. However, when we understand why a form is needed, like the forms we fill out when we go to the doctor, then we are more willing to fill it out. So what can you do to make sure the forms on your website are more likely to be completed?

Keep your form simple. Make sure you are only asking the questions you really need to. Ask good questions that will really provide the necessary information you need to effectively provide your goods and services.

Offer something to your websites visitors when they fill out a form. Offer discounts on your products, or a newsletter with free information or tips to your customers. This way you are getting valuable information from your customers and strengthening your relationship with them as well.

Clearly explaining why you want your website visitors to fill out your form will also increase the chance that it will be filled out.

Creating Effective Forms

Forms are a great way to get information about your website's visitors. Too many sites have forms that are too long with too many questions, or ask seemingly unimportant questions and as a result do not get filled out. When using forms on your website make sure they are as effective as possible.
When deciding what information your form will gather, make a list of everything you would like to know about your potential customer. Then go through that list and determine which form fields are essential and which ones are not, and only use the essential questions on the form.

The form fields should also help in your business' marketing efforts. Use questions that can help you identify the demographics of your customer base, but again, only get the demographic information you really need. Asking for too much personal information may deter someone from filling out your form.

HIT Web Design can create custom forms for your site to help you gather the information you need to better serve your customers and increase revenue.

Increasing Your Websites Marketability Through Forms

The purpose of any website is to market your business or services, and one of the most effective ways to do this is to ask your website visitors to do something—a call to action. Presenting great information about a product or service does not accomplish much if you do not ask for action.

Forms can be a great call to action. Simply asking your customers and visitors to fill out a contact form for more information can create sales leads for your business. Forms become a great way to gauge the overall effectiveness of your site. If your message and call to action is desirable and clear, then visitors to your site will want to fill out your form. If people are coming to your site and not filling out the forms, maybe you should consider making changes to your site, such as promoting the call to action in your text or making the form more accessible and easier to find.

The information you gather through a form can help you personalize messages, sales, or services to individuals or for a specific demographic. Knowing who your customers are makes it easier to provide the products and services they want.

HIT Web Design can help you put forms on your website to help increase its overall effectiveness and increase its marketability.
