Forum and eLearning

Forum

To go above and beyond email, live chat, web forms, and phone lines, offer your customers a support forum. This way, customers might become more attached to your company as they would be investing time to get into details of your business. You also encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledge, supporting the feeling of belonging to a community (your community!).
