Trust = More Purchases

That’s a very public forum.

You can enhance your customer service by providing a dedicated “Contact Us” or “Support” page on your site.

Doing this tells your customer that you care…

…That you want to provide the best customer service that you can by giving them a private channel to reach you through.

This has the added benefit of being easy to remember and be indexed by Google.
