Rock Candy projects
The possibilites are endless
Below are examples of how I have integrated email marketing, the ability for a customer to book online and even a small shop!
It’s super important to me that a website has a goal, a purpose and works for you and your business.
Email marketing
Email marketing is collecting people’s email addresses, adding them to your ’email list’ and then emailing them useful info on a regular basis.
People respond well too being offered something free in exchange for their email address.
As you can see on Hannah’s website she offers a free e book ‘How the hell to calm your spaniel down’
You will need a free account with Mailchimp or Mailerlite to do this. Mailerlite is my favourite.
Online booking
Lots of my dog trainers use Acuity to enable their website visitors to be able to book in to workshops, 1 to 1 session and classes online.
You set up your Acuity and I embed it into the website.
A simple way to make your life that bit easier.
Above you can see it in action on Dees website. We have the mantrailing classes on the mantrailing page, and then all her classes on a ‘book online page’.
Small shop
Having a shop on your website usually involves a big expensive build. Using Shopify Lite Sam now has a simple shop page on her website.
Discovery calls
If you’d like to make it super easy for potential enquiries to book a call with you then please consider using Calendly.
We can put this on any page you like making it easy for someone to connect with you at a time convenient to you both.
