Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Cheryl got me thinking and here. What kind of stuff that could bring people to your website, have them stick around and come back for more. How about a page with a listing of local craftshows that you attend (or just for information). I know that I'm always looking for new venues to try out and finding a local listing is nigh unto impossible. You can even rate them. From well attended to a total bomb. How about (especially for the more " exotic " locations) a page of areas of interest, or things to do or see. Don't forget that all important " about me/us/the company " . People love to know more about the people they are doing business with. Also a Page on company news is always a good thing to have. From new products to where a latest article is published, to events you might be attending etc. Also a " comments section " is a good thing to have. Something where they can hit a button and send you an email to give their opinions, to ask questions etc. Quick mention on Flash pages. Lots of people HATE HATE HATE them. If you're going to have one (usually the Home page) give people a button to quickly leave and get into your site or people are just going to quickly leave and not come back. How about something fun like a " Joke Page " where people can come for a giggle. Then there's the ever popular " contest " page. You can give a way something small, once a month or bi-montly or even team up with some friends and have a BIG give away OR you can do a " Name this Plant " type thing, or have folks submit a picture of their favorite pet, cutest baby etc. and then you can have people come to the site and vote on THEIR favorite. These are just a few suggestions. They won't all be attractive to everyone but you might see something of worth. :-) K Cheers!
