Patrick Burnett, Creative Director

How do you use Jotform in advertising?

We normally use it for our contact form but slowly, over the years, we've started doing more contests and giveaways for our readers and needed more submissions/forms. I was using Jotform & Wufoo, but lately with Jotform's site upgrades, I enjoy using Jotform so much more. Now with our last contest, "PartyPalooza Giveaway", our biggest ever with 24 days of prizes given away to our readers, we got a flood of submissions prompting my boss to authorize me to purchase a larger plan with Jotform. We can now receive over 10,000 submissions. Best bang for the buck!! I have discontinued using Wufoo and will only have to log in to one excellent service to for all our needs!

What would you suggest to people from the same industry?

I would first tell them how easy it is to set up and use. I would then tell them that Jotform seems to be a responsive company to growing needs by updating the site over the years. Plus I love how easy it is to download an Excel file for our office manager to handle all our submissions!

Nick Drzayich, Vendor Relations

How do you use Jotform in consulting?

We work in a small, focused niche of the financial industry and use multiple platforms to drive traffic to our site. Once we get a visitor we rely on Jotform forms to capture information (including name, phone, email) from our interested visitors. After using a slew of other form services we settled on Jotform because it did the best job in getting accurate information from our website visitors. As we received accurate data from the forms (specifically phone numbers) we had the ability to generate more sales. Other form builders could easily be filled out incorrectly and still submitted, but not Jotform! We've seen a good increase in conversions since we converted to Jotform!

Any business where data needs to be collected will be made easier with Jotform.

Vincent Calderon, Mobile Eye Doctor

How do you use Jotform in ecommerce?

We provide mobile eye care and eye glasses to elderly and home bound patients. Our mobile eye doctors are now inputting eyeglasses information directly into a Jotform from their iPhones which is being sent directly to our lab for processing. This form is replacing our paper order form drastically saving time and reducing transcribing errors. Before Jotform we had to transcribe patient eyeglasses orders, wait for the orders to be hand delivered, and doctors frequently forgot to take measurements. Now we have eliminated transcribing errors, the required fields eliminates forgetful mistakes, and our orders are delivered in real time. The fabrication process has instantly become streamlined with a single software!

Education

Moe Bates, Student Affairs Professional

How do you use Jotform in education?

We use Jotform to get applications, reservations, change logs, requests, & acceptances. Getting constant e-mails with random information for request to use various spaces that did not provide all of the information got me frustrated. Moreover, there were tons of wasted paper and having to manually input data from the paper documents was really tiring. I have impressed so many of my colleagues by being able to quickly and easily create a Jotform for our many needs. I'll be sitting in a meeting about a form needed and literally in minutes later, I'm able to e-mail them a sample, professional Jotform of exactly what we just discussed. In the world of education with low salaries & pay cuts happening everyday, Jotform is the main place I look to help me work smarter not harder.

What would you suggest to people from the same industry?

I recommend Jotform at least 2-3 times per week. My colleagues now joke with me that I always say "And, there's a Jotform for that!" I can always find a reason or way to use Jotform to get us the data we need. I now have multiple colleagues who have Jotform accounts & swear by it. Once they use it, they immediately fall in love with it!!

Sammie George, Entrepreneur

How do you use Jotform in marketing?

I have multiple websites, but the one I am using Jotform for, is my online business venture. I had been working on a registration form for new web hosting accounts since a long time. I tried numerous html/php templates, but customizing them was a real pain. Jotform allowed me to experiment with various formats/templates etc, so that I could concentrate on the user experience and not worry about the technical complexities.

We just started and will be using this to give our clients access to the intake and enrollment process,client satisfaction surveys and outcome measures tracking.

Peter Varitimos, Referee Coordinator

How do you use Jotform in event sports?

When I was losing track of all of my applications and had to ask my referees to send me a newly filled out form, I decided to use Jotform. I am the referee coordinator, and I use it for applications, referee availability schedule, contracts, information, and questionnaires. The biggest result I have achieved is being able to use these forms as a teaching tool for my referees, from age 11 to adults 60+ in age. I would have never been able to engage these young kids enough to actually enjoy learning. Now they go through the material and I continuously get responses how fun it was using the forms.

What would you suggest to people from the same industry?

Every time I see someone who has any type of information that they want to collect I immediately tell them about Jotform. I have told my friends on Facebook, I have told my colleagues at work and I have told the members on the soccer board of which I am also a member. And I'm positive I will continue to spread the word.

Web forms is one important part of any business and especially when they can be crisp and clear. Jotform helped me achieve this.

Travel

Scott Irish, Travel Consultant

How do you use Jotform in travel?

I use Jotform to create all types of forms for my travel agency from contacting us to paying a deposit on a cruise. In making booking forms for group cruises, sometimes you need a form to have as many as 4 passengers and all their pertinent data. This can't be done with only 20 fields.

What would you suggest to people from the same industry?

Web forms is one important part of any business and especially when they can be crisp and clear. Jotform helped me achieve this. I like the plain looking templates; I think they fit better with my website. But, if I wanted a colorful template for my form, I could do that too.
