Wisepops
When a customer visits your website, you want to make sure they find the section they’re looking for.
People have short attention spans online and might leave before they find what they want. One effective way to keep them on your website is with a greeting popup. You can easily set these up with a company like Wisepops.
What’s nice about Wisepops is they let you customize your greetings based on web data from customers. The program tracks how visitors are coming to your site.
For example, if a visitor comes over from one of your ads for term insurance, you can set the program up to launch a popup promoting your low term rates. This personal touch will keep people on your site longer and move them one step closer to a sale.

Survey Gizmo
Surveys are another important tool for your website. Well-designed surveys can help you gauge customer satisfaction, stay in touch with prospects, and gain referrals.
There are a number of companies out there who can send out and track your surveys for you. Survey Gizmo is a good company to consider. You can customize the program so it looks like part of your website, even though Survey Gizmo is handling this work.
They also offer a 14-day free trial period so you can test this software before making any commitment.
