Don't Throw Your Leads Away
Summary
Many webmasters unknowingly lose potential clients because mailto commands might not be the best choice for lead generation.Optimize Your Lead Generation
The mailto command creates a clickable email address designed to open your email client, allowing users to contact you easily. While this sounds convenient, it might actually be costing you valuable business. For instance, a real estate agent could lose thousands of dollars if a lead goes astray. Here are some issues with mailto commands that could lead to lost opportunities.
The Pitfalls of Mailto Commands
One major drawback of mailto commands is their reliance on the default email client configuration, typically programs like Outlook or Outlook Express. Many people use web-based email services such as Yahoo Mail or Hotmail instead. For these users, the mailto command may generate error messages like "Email client is not configured," making the link ineffective and potentially driving away a substantial portion of your potential clients.
Email Reliability Issues
Emails can be unreliable; it's common for a message to go missing. Imagine if that lost email was a potential client. This can significantly impact your business. Emails might not reach you due to spam filters or simply get lost in cyberspace. Regardless of the reason, lost emails mean lost business.
Additional Concerns
Displaying email addresses via mailto commands also makes them targets for spam bots that collect addresses for mass mailing campaigns.
A Better Solution: Use Forms
The ideal way to capture leads is through a form that logs the information. By using forms, your website can securely store leads in a text file or database, and notify you via email when a new lead is captured. Even if the email notification gets lost, the lead remains safely stored. Additionally, your website can manage leads and send thank-you messages automatically.
Conclusion
Don’t risk losing the business you’ve worked hard to attract. Opt for forms over mailto links to enhance your lead generation process.
