Should I stay or Should I go?


Imagine you’re on a trip to another country. You get out of the plane and hear a foreign language that you simply don’t understand, not a word. You look around to find a bus or an underground entrance to somehow get to your hotel. You see some kind of information on a bus stop. You look closely and all you see is weird words that mean absolutely nothing to you. NOTHING.


What do you do? Do you leave and go back home? Of course not! You look for tourist information center. But there is none around. What do you do then? Ask people for help? What if there’s noone around to help you?!

For some, entering a website on a smartphone feels exactly like this – it’s chaotic and you can’t ask anyone for help. The only difference is that changing websites is way easier than changing countries. We live in a prosumer era, where your customers are aware of the fact there for sure is somebody else offering what you offer. They go on their smartphones and browse to find exactly what they’re looking for, for the best price available. They look for specific information on your website and when they have to scroll, swipe or pinch to get it, they either leave your website or become frustrated with you and your business. They need a new standard for finding what they need on their smartphones, a mobile-friendly navigation, if you will.


So how to get them to stay on your website? When they seek details about your company how to get them to call you, email you to get more info? How to get them to buy from you, come to your company, like you on Facebook, share feedback? I found 3 first-class free website add-ons that will make your website’s visitors become your leads, engage them with your content and special offers or enable them to share feedback with you. They all work as if you suddenly had a tourist information center on your website and each of these tools is mobile-friendly!
