Continuing
on this topic of “CONTACT US”, why don’t all website have an e-mail address?
After they are using the internet, so someone must use e-mail. In this day and
age, who wants write a letter and wait weeks for a reply? Or, who wants to make
a telephone call, get an answering machine and then wait for a call back? I
know I don’t! E-mail is such an effective and efficient way of communicating.
The worst group for this lack of a contact e-mail is the fall fairs. As a
group, they don’t seem to want to communicate through e-mail! At first I
thought it might be because it was run by rural people who might have slow
internet connections, but technology is zooming ahead in leaps and bounds, so I
don’t think this is a factor. Beside more and more rural people are becoming
very savvy when it comes to technology and communications. Gone are the days of
party lines and outhouses, today its satellites and high definition TV. So what is the answer then? I’m not sure. I
am just telling you my observations as a person constantly looking at festival,
event and attraction websites. If someone does have the answer, please let me
know! In the meantime, if you are a festival or event organizer or you develop
websites for them, make sure you include and easy to find “CONTACT US” page and that
it includes a contact e-mail address!
