Simplifying Contact Info: Using a Website Address Instead of Email

[slhale]

I have been thinking about using my website address instead of my email in my contact info. I got to thinking about the fact that my email is kinda long and I would like to simplify it just a bit. I know I personally hate having to "search" for the email in a bunch of other "stuff". I also thought that buy sending them to the website to contact me, that it will get them there and they might actually look at it. They would find the outlet and the can see the info that I personally put on there.
Just a thought... Please tell me what you think.

I use both! It lets them decide how they want to contact me!

My e-mail program allows us to have multiple mailboxes, so I was able to create a new e-mail account that I use for PC stuff. For contact info, I put my phone number, e-mail, and website because you never know how comfortable people are with things and what their preference is. I put a phone number down because some people don't even have internet or know how to use their e-mail.

Like Amanda, I set up a second email address just for PC. The important thing to remember about your contact information is to make it easy for your customers to use what they're most comfortable with. For some that will be your website. For others that will be email. For others it will be phone. For still others it will be texting. The easier they find it to contact you, the more likely it is that they will contact you.

This is what I've been doing since I got my website (for years!). People will go to the website if they want to contact you via email.

The reason I decided to do this is that my website address will not change but my email address might. So, no matter how old the business card they should be able to track me down.

I too only use my phone number and PWS address. As you stated, it helps drive traffic to my website which then exposes them to my newslinks, host specials and recipes. I have gotten a couple of orders from that too. I usually tell my guests to bookmark me so that they can easily find me should they need any help for their kitchen, be it a recipe or quick gift.

My email address is too long and can easily be mistyped. Those who are tech savvy and prefer email are ok with the website link. Those who aren't comfortable with computers are happy with calling me.
