How to create a inquiry contact form with Jodoo?

No matter if you want to collect leads, feedback, or inquiries with your inquiry contact form. The first and most important thing is to get more people to use it. Here are the most efficient steps to create an inquiry contact form that actually converts visitors into leads. You can expect a nice and practical form created from scratch in 3 mins:

Step one: create an empty inquiry contact form

Log in to your Jodoo account, click to create and set up an app. Create a form and then choose to Create from Scratch. Name your form as an Inquiry Contact Form.

Step two: add 3 fields to your inquiry contact form

A crucial idea that's often ignored is to keep your inquiry contact form simple. After researching over 40,000 landing pages, HubSpot reported that inquiry contact forms with just three fields have the highest conversion rate. Marketo researchers also came to a similar conclusion.

Based on the common understanding of the importance of simplicity and further research on the popular examples, Jodoo found 3 standard but essential fields for an inquiry contact form: Name, Email, and Message.

In your inquiry contact form, drag and drop to add these fields to the canvas. Select the fields to edit Field Properties. Set up the field name, description, and hints accordingly.

Except for the basic settings, you can also add a few validations, to validate if the entered email address is valid, a required field is not empty, etc. To further customize the fields' behavior, read Field Properties.

Simplicity is important, but it doesn't mean that you can't have any additional fields to improve lead quality. If necessary, you can still add fields – such as multiple-choice questions, dropdown menus, radio buttons, checkboxes, file upload, and more. In Jodoo's online form builder, you can make any type of contact form, from emergency contact forms to customer contact forms – just a few clicks with no coding required.

Step three: brand and optimize your form for multiple devices

Most people picture an inquiry contact form as the same basic embedded form on most websites. Customization and branding are what make your forms instantly recognizable, and Jodoo is a great helper when making a good first impression with customization and branding that truly stand out.

On the form design page, go to Form Properties > Form Public Link Style. From here, you can choose from one of many ready-made free theme styles, or customize your form from scratch.

Edit the Custom Styles to brand your form with colors, logos, and images. Make your form consistent with the rest of your website.

After customizing and branding your form, don't forget to check if it looks great on mobile devices. Click Preview and switch the tabs to check how your form performs on different devices.

Statista reported more than half of web traffic comes from mobile devices, which means a mobile-friendly inquiry contact form can at least double the chance that your site visitors submit their messages and inquiries from mobile devices.

Step four: publish your form and get your embed code

When you’re done customizing the design, it's time to embed it into your website.

Go to the Publish page, find the To All tab, and enable the Form Fill Link. In the Advanced settings, you can find your Reference Code. Paste it into your website's HTML and start accepting inquiries easily and securely.

What you can do more with your inquiry contact form?

Tell customers the next step and set expectations

Don't let your customers be bothered by what's going on or if your form is even working.

Provide a thank you message upon submission as a confirmation to let them know that you've received their message. Set clear expectations by telling your customers exactly what will happen next and how long it will take.

With Jodoo, you can go to the Extension page and customize your message in the Result Page tab.

Create an automation for email follow-ups

Automate the follow-up emails for your inquiries. Use follow-ups as initial responses to confirm form submissions, explain what happens next, or share helpful information.

In Jodoo, you can easily integrate your inquiry contact form with third-party marketing tools your team uses.

Go to the Plugin Market and choose among the plugins, such as Mailchimp and SendGrid.

Or you can connect hundreds of apps via Zapier.

Manage your inquiries neatly and securely

All submissions for Jodoo forms are neatly and securely stored in a dedicated database on a form level. On the Manage Data page, you can choose to edit your inquiries online or export them to Excel or PDF files for offline management.
