Although your customers might have a myriad of options for communicating with your company in real time including live chat or phone, often communication, when it’s not in the realm of immediate customer support, doesn’t need to happen instantaneously. An email is still a relevant, convenient and necessary form of communication between customer and business. Emails are also helpful because you can quickly and easily direct the email to the suitable department.
Contact forms are an easy way to create an avenue for customers to shoot you a quick message and come back to it later. There are many options for implementing a contact form on your site including using one that is built into your theme, creating one from scratch, or using a plugin to easily insert one onto your site.
