Contact forms are the gateway to collecting information online. Learn how you can utilize FormSpring to build powerful online contact forms and start collecting information online quickly and easily!
Support requests are always a great asset for us at FormSpring, they shed light on user problems but also give us an interesting look at how our form builder can be used outside of just an online form tool.
We wrap up our 5 Day blog series with a look at what do with your customer once you have collected their information. This is written by Jason Gallic of Email Center Pro. Learn more about Jason and Email Center Pro below this post.
There may be times when you want to collect a small bit of information on one form and then redirect the user on to a second, longer form to collect more information. On the second form, you don’t want them to have to fill out any of the same info from the first form, so you want to pass on that data from one form to another.
Two questions that we are often asked is the best way to integrate your online forms with your website and how to get the forms to match the “look and feel” of your site.
FormSpring gives you a few different options to integrate your web forms. The first is by using a simple link. Each form that you create in the form builder automatically generates a URL for that form. By using that URL you can easily link the form from anywhere on your site, use the link in an email newsletter or post on third party websites, without having to generate a new form for each instance. When using the URL you can choose a standard template (we offer 6 basic templates) or you can create your template.
We were asked the other day for tips on how you can use your online contact forms and online lead generation forms in smarter ways to really create value for you and your business. Some of the tips below might seem basic but ofter overlooked by the majority of people who are creating their online forms.
Our friends over at Hanapin Marketing have a great post about the importance of simple contact forms when using them as a lead generation source. While we may not be PPC Heroes, we do know something about creating easy to use web forms.
