Strike While the Iron is Hot: Turn Website Visitors into Customers using Online Text Messaging
Text messaging portal LookNoThumbs.com is helping small business website owners to connect instantly with site visitors and transition casual site visits into sales opportunities.
Here’s a typical scenario from a day in the life of a website; perhaps a site not unlike yours.
You drive visitors to your site by publishing your URL at every opportunity and using every means at the disposal of your marketing budget: stationery, signage, press, broadcast media, online advertising, blogging, and word-of-mouth. As visitors click around your site evaluating you and your business, the tyre-kickers lose interest and leave. Others are interested enough to complete your inquiry form, which at some point delivers contact information to you for later collection. Unfortunately, within minutes after completing the form, most visitors will have forgotten who you are and why they were interested. They’ll have moved on - possibly even to a competitor’s website, and you’ve lost your best chance to win a customer whose interest is still fresh.
Here’s the same scenario with integrated site alerts from online texting portal LookNoThumbs.com.
Your visitors arrive at your site as before. Tyre-kickers leave, as they always do. But now when a visitor completes your inquiry form, their experience with your business is only beginning. Within seconds of them submitting the form, you get a text message on your mobile phone containing the contact details they left – usually while the visitor is still looking at your site. You now have your optimal chance of winning that customer: you have their number right on your phone, and you know they’re on your site. Go ahead - PRESS YOUR GREEN BUTTON NOW!
Make no mistake, LookNoThumbs’ website alerts are the online equivalent of your door chime ringing to alert sales staff when a customer enters your shop.
Site integration with LookNoThumbs.com is a simple process. First, you need a LookNoThumbs.com account, which is free and quick to set up at http://www.LookNoThumbs.com. Don’t buy any texts until you’re ready – your free trial will let you try this out just fine. Next, display a special link prominently on your site. The exact link is in the FAQ accessible from your LookNoThumbs.com online texting account. When your visitor clicks the link, a popup form opens, and when they submit the form, you get your text message. It couldn’t be easier, and it’s free to try.
LookNoThumbs.com has brought customer text messaging within the reach of any business. Where LookNoThumbs stands apart is in its simplicity. Site integration is just one example that delivers high value to your business with no fuss and minimal cost. In fact there are no costs other than any text messages you receive after your free trial, and you buy those in small blocks only when you need them.
Remember, in business it’s always best to strike while the iron is hot. Don’t impress your customers with a great website, then lose them to a competitor over something as trivial as not knowing they were ever there.
