Using clickable email addresses.
 

build a websiteThere are large number of internet users who use web based email rather than standard windows email programs such as Outlook Express or Windows Mail. Sometimes these web based email systems have not been configured as the computers default email client and so will not react to clickable email links. Such people are therefore unable to use clickable email links from websites, which can be a problem for website builders. If you have customers who have experienced this problem, you can advise them that it is quite simple to set up their web based email as their “default email programme” on their computer so that when they click an email link, a new message window will open from their normal email system, allowing them to quickly and easily send emails.

Boost Word of Mouth marketing of your website

build a website website builderWord of mouth is probably one the most trusted and effective methods of advertising. If you consider the way you’d react to a tv, radio or press advertisement claiming how great something is and then compare that to your response to someone you know and trust telling you about a really good product, service or company that they’ve found and recommend. You’d be far more likely to go with what your friend says wouldn’t you? So when you build a website, how can you help to generate more word of mouth about your company, products or services?

Making the most of your Professional Email Address

When you build a website with Reason8, one of the major benefits is that you can use your own domain name or website address – www.StunningLandscapes.com. Many website hosting companies offer websites which sit on subdomains and your website address would end up being something like www.hostingcompany.com/page-stunninglandscapes, which from a marketing point of view is not great. When it comes to promoting your company, you need to portray as professional an image as possible to make the best first impression. Having your own domain is vital in so many ways. Just as important, is having a professional email address such as info@StunningLandscapes.com. This means that when potential clients contact you they’re emailing an address directly associated with your domain name. A professional email address will offer customers far more reassurance than an email address such as stunninglandscapes@hotmail.com. Every business website with Reason8 includes at least one Professional Email Address as standard.
