brdecloss Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Is there a way to add a box or some text option to the order form that will indicate where the buyer first found you? This would be useful for marketing purposes. I sell portable (baseball and softball) batting cages and would like to know where people first found me. For example, did they see my TV commercial? Did they see my ad in one of the baseball magazines? Did they see an item of mine on EBay? Did they find me doing a simple internet search using Google or Yahoo, i.e. pay-per-click? If I could add a drop down box for the client to pick where they saw me it would be helpful in my marketing and advertising dollars. Should I spend more on Pay-Per-Click? Should I do more TV commercials? Should I spend more on magazine ads or got to more trade shows? If I could add a box that was editable that the client would select an item and enter it in the database, I could get a report as to where clients were coming from. Or can I simply require the client to respond with some simple short text as to where they found me? Has something like this already been done? Thanks. /Bob DeCloss
♥geoffreywalton Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Eminently doable. Just a new field on checkout screen, an admin screen to set the values, add it to the order header and another report with various selection criteria. Sounds simple but...................
