Features of WiX and how you can use them:
-
Website
When it comes to your website, beauty goes beyond the depth of the screen. Potential customers often decide in an instant whether or not they like your business, just by looking at your website. Wix offers hundreds of beautiful templates that are easy to customize for just about any type of business imaginable.
-
Contact management.
One of the best ways to generate new business is by communicating with previous customers. Gathering contact information from all of your customers is very important to maintaining and growing a business relationship, but it can seem like a daunting task.
For simplicity's sake, Wix has created an easy way to manage all of your contacts, right from your My Account dashboard. You can also upload, integrate and manage external contact lists and keep them organized in one place.
-
Junk Mail
There is no better way to market your business than by sending out email newsletters. You can communicate directly with your most relevant target audience with updates, offers, and coupons that interest them. Wix ShoutOut lets you create and distribute engaging ezines in no time. And, like everything on Wix, it's FREE.
-
Coupons and sales
Not sure what content to include in those coupon designs? Everyone loves deals, and coupons are a great way to ensure your customers snap (and click!) when they see your little email in their inbox. You can easily create coupons for your Wix store or send coupons and discount codes via Shout Out, by email, or on your social media sites.
-
Smart actions
Wix created Smart Actions to help you save time. We know that you don't always have the opportunity to thank every customer who orders from your online store or subscribes to your newsletter. To make your life easier, you can use Wix to set up automatic emails.
For example, you can create a smart action to thank every visitor who becomes a member of your site or send a welcome email to everyone who buys a product from your store for the first time.
-
AppStore
The Wix App Market is filled with everything that can take your website to the next level. From apps to beautify your online space to tools that make scheduling appointments easier, with hundreds of apps to choose from, there's no doubt you'll find that little thing you need.

Site Booster
If you're a local business and have a physical address that matches your website, you'll want to make it easy for customers searching in your area to find your business. To help you improve your chances of appearing in search engine results, Site Booster automatically submits your contact details to top-rated sites and directories.
-
Get traffic.
If you want your business to skyrocket, you need more than just visitors to your website. You want the right people to click your way. The Get Traffic app creates personalized web ads that target your audience based on important characteristics like location and demographics.
