\"How<\/a>
\nDoing business in a digital world means there are plenty of ways for customers (or potential customers) to get in touch with you, be it via email, Facebook or, perhaps, your online store. But the jewel in your digital marketing crown is your website and, by extension, the Contact form on it.<\/p>\n

The problem is that many wedding supplier websites don’t contain Contact forms. Instead, the majority of suppliers rely on email addresses of phone numbers.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing wrong about having a phone number and email address, but they should be included alongside a Contact form, which allows suppliers to control what information they receive – and also makes it easier for potential customers to contact you.<\/p>\n

Contact forms have many benefits. Not only will be used by potential customers wanting to ask you questions, but they could be used by potential employees enquiring about vacancies, current customers needing help and, perhaps even, future business partners looking to do a deal or strike up a relationship.<\/p>\n

Of course, the aim, certainly when it comes to new inquiries, is to convert as many of these contacts into customers.<\/p>\n

So, it’s crucial your Contact form works and that it’s as clear and intuitive as possible and a little time invested in tweaking it could pay big dividends.<\/p>\n

A standard bride’s query via email generally looks like this:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi there. I would like to know if you are available to do my wedding on the 15\/5\/22, Thanks, Silvia.<\/em><\/p>\n

OR<\/p>\n

Hi. How much would it cost for you to <\/em>marry me? Thanks, Sylvia.<\/em><\/p>\n

While it’s great to have a potential client emailing you, all you know about her is her name, email address and, possibly, her wedding date. That’s not a lot to go on and you’re at a disadvantage because you simply don’t know enough about a potential client or what she needs.<\/p>\n

By using a Contact form with the information below in it, you’ll get more details and, consequently, be able to service the potential client better.<\/p>\n
