smart captureSmart Capture – Lead Generation and Visitor Profile Capture Tool

Smart Capture by Visual Data Systems seamlessly integrates with your website, optimizing opportunities to capture critical data regarding prospects and clients.

Make it easy for people to sign up for your email marketing.  Ask for demographic information when they request a brochure.  Offer email marketing opportunities when visitors use a website feature.  These are the points where the conversations with clients and prospects begin.

Thousands of people visit your website every day. It’s time to meet them.

At the end of the day, you get a database brimming with contacts who told you how they want to hear from you and what they want to hear. Imagine if you could tailor your email marketing specifically to people who like: last minute vacations; girlfriend getaways; golf packages; winter rentals or always travel with children. Some capture points will even give you full address information to join your direct mail list, others, just enough to receive the email specials – but you will be capturing information from qualified leads. You paid to get them to your website – now take advantage of their visit!

Effective marketing talks to each person differently. With Smart Capture, your website becomes the tool to discover more about your visitors. Please check out our Smart Capture FAQ Page for answers to any questions you might have.
