or services.
Capture
your visitors' email address
Collecting
email addresses is essential to stay
in touch with your prospects. Provide
a free report or subscription to your
ezine (electronic newsletter) to capture
your visitors' email address. Follow
up with regular ezines, offer more
valuable information to establish
your credibility, inform them of what's
new on your site, and invite them
to return to your site.
Provide
plenty of valuable information
If
your visitors don't see anything that
interests them, they will go to your
competitors and will never come back.
If you provide plenty of valuable
information, they may bookmark your
site and come back later.
