With so Many Choices - Where Should you Start?
We reviewed aggregate lead capture settings for all accounts, and cross-referenced those settings against the average leads generated per day. While this is not a true scientific analysis, we have heard from several clients who have had very good results after modifying their previous or default settings, to those described below:
  • REQUEST registration on the Photo Gallery page.
  • REQUEST after the 1st or 2nd Detail page view.
  • FORCING registration after the 7th or 8th Details page view.
It may take some time and experimentation to find the lead capture settings that work best for your website, and your market. Test these settings, and you may be surprised at what IDX information can do for your business!
