Coming Soon Sections - So Many Great Reasons to Use Them
There are numerous compelling reasons to utilise Coming Soon messages on your website. And while the classic 'website under construction' message is certainly one of them, it's definitely not the only one.
Here are a few situations in which adding a 'Coming Soon' message can generate excitement, anticipation, and leads.
- Building a new website. This can take time, so rather than publishing a not-yet-ready site or having no web presence at all, having a Coming Soon page indicates to visitors that they have something to look forward to. Including a field to collect email addresses enables you to generate leads through this page, allowing you to notify visitors when the site is live.
- Adding a new page to an existing site. Let site visitors know something new is coming to the site. It will give them a reason to come back.
- Announcing the launch of a new project. A coming soon page is a great way to gather leads, allowing you to notify people when the new project is ready.
- Announcing an upcoming store collection. For businesses that offer seasonal collections, a Coming Soon section is a great way to preview a new Collection before it’s ready to launch.
In these situations (and others), a well-designed Coming Soon Section can be used to attract new leads and gain followers in various ways. For example, by including a form for collecting email addresses, adding links to the company's social networks, and including a phone number or email address for getting more information.
Something for Every Type of Style
As with every batch of new Sections, you’ll find a range of styles, themes and colours - something to suit every type of site.
To see the new Sections for yourself, start editing any site, click the “+” that appears between rows, and scroll down the right menu in the Sections panel until you see the Coming Soon category.
