The humble contact page is sorely neglected most of the time. But it’s an important destination for visitors and worth doing well.
It makes marketing sense: whatever someone wants from your contact page, they’re interested in one way or another. You might as well use the opportunity to chivvy them along the sales funnel a little or, if they’re at the right stage, nudge them over the edge into buying mode.
Here’s how to do a great job of your contact page
- Add a short introduction – set the stage with a friendly, relevant message, for example explaining what will happen when they get in touch: how long you take to reply to messages and so on
- Include all contact details including street address and landline phone number if you have one – it helps generate trust
- Include social media links – make it easy for people to hook up with you and nurture your relationship through social interaction
- Add a call to action – every good web page deserves one, including your contact page
- Make the page look as good as the rest of your site, including images if it’s appropriate
- If you have real-life premises for people to visit in person, add a map so they can see where you are without having to click away
- Create a contact form as well as giving people your email address, giving them the full choice of response methods
- If you like dealing with business over the phone, consider creating a call-back form with a choice of times and dates so people can pick a convenient time for you to do the running
- Give people an actual name to contact, making things personal instead of just providing an anonymous email address
