Contact vs. Connect

Event Specialist, Cheryl Lawson asks visitors to connect, contact, and or join.



When I revised my website in 2009, I really wanted to provide visitors with the opportunity to interact with me and my company via the numerous social media tools I used. As I mentioned in Clients Access Social Media on New Event Planning Web Site. However, where I seem to have failed was on my Contact page. Somehow, I failed to give people the one stop shop way to connect with me. Instead, I provided the old school, fill out this form, and complete this riddle so I know you're not going to spam type of contact page.

After looking at that page a few dozen times, I realized how simply impersonal it was. I mean, I wouldn't take the time to complete that form if I came across it, so why should I expect potential clients to?

As a result, I decided to take a completely different approach. One that actually fits with my own philosophy. "Give people a chance to connect with you where they are." Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Wave.

Now, If you want to email me you can, If you'd like to call, go ahead. Want to join our mailing list please do so.


As an event specialist, my business is connecting with people, now my website represents that. Feel free to Connect.

Cheryl
