How many times in your life have you filled out a form - whether on paper or a website?

A lot, I bet. 

The word "forms" doesn't convey excitement for many, but they are essential to consider on a website when you want to improve a potential customer's experience. A completed form means more information to add to your most important asset - your customer database. 

Let's look at the five essential website forms to include on any site: 

Contact Form: Located on your contact page, this is a convenient opportunity for a visitor to send a message to inquire about your products or services. As well as providing a good experience for your visitors, a contact form can also help cut down on spam, as bots can't quickly harvest your email address from your website.

Email Newsletter Sign-up: Email marketing is an excellent way to nurture and build better relationships with your audience. Provide visitors with a simple form to opt-in to receive your newsletter. Here they can fill in their name and email address, subscribing to receive emails from your business.

Customer Feedback / Reviews: If you want to know if customers are satisfied with their purchase, a feedback or review form is essential. Feedback is vital to helping you improve your processes and deliver a better experience to customers over time. In the case of an unhappy customer, hearing about it sooner rather than later allows you to make things right.

Customer Support: Whether you sell products or provide services, your customers will require a certain level of support over time. Providing a customer support form means your customers can quickly request support. This message may go into a support ticket platform or directly to your team via email. From there, you can assist your customer and provide them with great support,

Call Scheduling / Call Back: Some businesses will encourage their potential customers to book a call to discuss their products or services further. You can offer a form that allows a visitor to pick a date and time for a call with your team. Alternatively, you may have a form where visitors can provide their contact information and request a call back.
