A company that sells sea glass, which is glass that washes up on the beautiful brown sandy beaches all over the world, would bring more customers to their website if they had a sea glass forum on their website.

The website sea-glass.com offers many different colors of sea glass including the elusive and rare red sea glass.  This is a user friendly and easy to navigate website that offers crafters, hobbyists and collectors a wide variety of sea glass to choose from.  By placing a sea glass forum on the website, many people who use the sea glass for jewelry or other hobbies or collect sea glass can post about their latest findings and their most recent trip to the beach or where they believe they can locate the best group of sea glass.

Sea glass is pieces of glass that has made its way into the oceans and has been smoothed into flat surface rock-like or rounded bead-like shiny ‘jewels’ from the constant current and the granules of sand rubbing over them.  Glass that has fallen off a boat, glass that is part of boats such as tail lights and headlights, sunglasses, regular classes, drinking glasses, baby bottles, beer bottles, liquor bottles, old-fashioned lanterns, flashlight glass and any piece of glass that has been discarded into the ocean either on purpose such as a deep sea dumpsite or by accident having fallen off of a boat.

Sea-glass.com features a great deal of colors of sea glass for projects ranging from earrings, necklace, bracelets or rings.  There is blue sea glass, orange, green, yellow, violet or purple, black, amber, clear, white, gray and sometimes red.  Red is the hardest glass to find because not many things were made out of red glass in the past except for maybe an old-fashioned hurricane lantern from around the turn of the century. 

Selling anything through a website could use a boost from a forum in which people express their feelings about the products being sold in their experiences with the company.  For example, a hearing aid company could place a hearing aid forum on their website to receive feedback from their customers about how well a particular hearing aid works for them so that other prospective customers would read this and maybe leave a comment that it has helped them with their decision-making process.

Forums are similar to blogs in that they allow people to express their feelings about a particular subject.  They are a place to exchange ideas and thoughts with like-minded people.  A forum is usually moderated by someone who either owns the website or knows a lot about what the website has to offer.  This is in order to keep it clean and make sure there are no fights among the people posting.
