Save time and win customers
... by HIDING your Email address
Author:

It is always advisable to welcome questions from
visitors to your
web site, so that you can provide a personal touch and establish
a good relationship.
But as your traffic inevitably increases you
certainly don't want to be
swamped by Email queries.
Here is what you do - and it brings lots of benefits.
First, you accumulate a list of common questions
and set up a
FAQ (frequently asked questions) page.
This is a common solution but at this point most
people make the
same mistake - they provide a link from
their sales page to the FAQ
page but keep their Email address on the sales page.
The secret is to
remove the address and only put it on the FAQ page.
Why ?
This will force your visitor to read the FAQ
first, hopefully
eliminating 90% of the questions you would
otherwise receive.
But don't just put a series of questions and
answers.
·
Take the opportunity to surround every question with
a positive benefit.
·
Introduce additional material that may have been too
much to include on the original page.
·
And finish up with some
motivating copy to get your
reader to order.
The result ?
Your reader will have gained by finding answers to
questions he
had not thought of and discovering extra benefits offered by
your product.
And you will have fewer messages in your Email
box.
