Open Choice Mortgages Chepstow
Mortgages has to be one of the most hotly competed sectors on the internet, which makes getting front page search rankings and winning new business a real challenge.
It was clear from early on that to convert more business than other sites, we needed to give a simple, clear and compelling message, whilst making the process of enquiry as simple as possible – and so the prominent on page contact form with pre-selected subject was born.
Online application forms? None, more hoops to jump through means more opportunity to give up or get distracted. Plus with strict compliance laws in the UK, a verbal interview is just about mandatory. So its an excerise in permission marketing: this is what we can do for you, please get in touch. And it works.
A year or so down the line, we're still amazed at how few sites keep the message simple and make it easy for potential customers to get in touch. Most would rather serve ads for other mortgage companies? Or worse still, shove some popup in your face that has most people reaching for the close button quicker than cowboy in a fast draw contest.
