Instant video call buttons on your website offer a different way to enhance the customer experience. Whilst people can still use your phone number or contact form they can alternatively click the video call buttons for instant video conferencing. The advantage of video call buttons is both speed and ease of use. Visitors to your website no longer need to navigate cumbersome telephone switchboards or wait for a call back after filling in your contact us form.
