Signposting several options for getting in touch
Clearly show how to get in touch
Clearly explain when and how people can reach you, so they can get support when they need it. Offer different ways to connect.
Further description
Clearly inform when, how and where users can get in touch
Help users easily locate which services are available in their area.
Include different ways users can get in touch
If your team can be reached via different channels (text, call, emails, others), introduce those channels and let the user choose which suits their needs best.
Introduce what type and level of support users can expect from the different communication channels
Help users know what to expect from different communication channels. If one route is faster, or if one leads directly to talking to a human, let them know. Include any information that can help them make a decision.
The ways to get in touch should stand out on your website and other platforms you may use
Users shouldn’t have to dig to find contact information. Use concise sentences to introduce each way of getting in touch and a clear title that will speak to someone in a crisis.
