Imagine this: being able to answer questions from your union members or signatory contractors without having extra phone calls and time taken out of your day. How, you ask?
We know that as an organizer, business manager, training director, etc. you are constantly answering your phone and adding tasks to your “to do” list.
If you have a website, you can save some time by encouraging your visitors to reach out to you with questions online. This is where contact forms come in!
What is a contact form?
A contact form is there to provide support to visitors on your website, while also compiling information about those visitors. Fields that are on contact forms vary, but commonly have these required fields:
- Name
- Phone number
- Comment/Question
A contact form is one of the best ways to receive communication from just about anyone; from current members, potential members, contractors and even potential contractors. Websites no longer just inform visitors, they now offer both users and viewers a convenient way to communicate to an organization.
Here are just a few reasons why contact forms are beneficial to websites.
- Availability
- At times, reaching someone on their phone can be strenuous or in some cases, almost impossible because of schedules. Contact forms living on numerous pages of your website allow your viewers to reach out to you whenever they have a question. You want to give the opportunity for your visitors to easily reach you.
- Engagement
- Engagement is holding your visitors attention and responding to their needs in a timely fashion. This is critical to increasing the chance of gaining new members and contractors or simply maintaining relationships with them. Chances are, your organization is successful because of the relationships you have built with your members and contractors.
- User-Friendly
- This should be the most important aspect to your website. The user-friendliness of your website should be a top priority and having a contact form accommodates the needs of your users. While good content and easy navigation is important, so is the ability to contact someone within your organization. A user-friendly website will increase the likelihood viewers will reach out to you.
