In the last few years, funeral
directors, consumers, and suppliers have increasingly
relied on internet technologies to conduct their business
and improve their efficiency. Most funeral directors now employ
the use of email in their business on a daily basis. Some
have already made the investment in a web site for their funeral
home and have begun to reap the benefits.
A web site will benefit your funeral home in three ways. A web site will:
Enhance
service to existing customers
A
web site will allow you to publish all your
current obituaries, complete with full color photographs,
online. Families will be able to receive electronic sympathy messages
from those who cannot attend a service, and relatives can
quickly acquire directions, send flowers, and confirm service schedules.
Save
time
Instead of
tediously providing the same directions to callers repeatedly
throughout the day, your web site will allow you to direct
inquirers to personalized point-to-point directions and an online
map. Your customers will enjoy receiving this customized
information and you'll have more time to do your job.
Improve customer acquisition
Your web
site address should be published at the bottom of your newspaper
obituaries, leading readers to your site for additional
information, to send a sympathy message, and to acquire directions
to your home. While at your site, they will see information
about your funeral home and staff. Should they set foot in your
home, they will be at ease, in contact with names and faces
they are already familiar with. Additionally, while at your web
site they may begin to think about their own prearrangement
needs, review your prearrangement services, and schedule a future
meeting.
In
a nutshell, web sites help funeral homes
provide better service to their existing customers, attract new
business, and at the same time can reduce staff time spent
on the phone by providing driving directions, maps, obituaries
and services information on the Internet to the entire world
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
