At Ghost, we're all about enhancing your connection with your audience. One powerful way to achieve this is by giving your viewers the ability to directly contact with you while watching your videos. Whether they want to book an appointment, send an email, make a phone call, or even shoot you a quick text, we've got you covered!

Here's how you can make it happen.

📅 Appointment Booking

Streamline the appointment booking process by using our floating widget accessible on every page of your website. Your video can showcase the services you offer, and with a simple click, viewers can be guided to your appointment scheduling page for a seamless experience.

📧 Send an Email

Encourage viewers to reach out via email by adding a designated link/CTA to your videos. Here's how:

  1. In your Ghost Admin, in the product link field insert mailto:your email .

  2. Click 'Enter' or 'Return.'

  3. Remove the https:// added to your email.

  4. Upload a mail icon as your link's image and provide a title (e.g., "Email Me").

📞 Make a Phone Call

Let your audience know they can reach you via the phone, if that is their preferred method of communication. Here's how to set it up:

  1. In your Ghost Admin, add tel:your phone number in the product link field.

  2. Click 'Enter' or 'Return.'

  3. Remove the https:// added to your phone number.

  4. Upload a phone icon as your link's image and provide a title (e.g., "Call Me").

💬 Send a Text

Cater to the communication preferences of a younger demographic with click-to-text capabilities within your videos. Here's how to enable it:

  1. In your Ghost Admin, insert sms:your phone number in the product link field.

  2. Click 'Enter' or 'Return.'

  3. Remove the https:// added to your phone number.

  4. Upload a text icon as your link's image and provide a title (e.g., "Text Me").

By implementing these features, you're not only making it easier for your audience to engage with you, but you're also creating a more personalized and interactive viewing experience.

🔥 Hot tip:

Add icons or emojis as your link’s thumbnail image to make it easy for buyers to identify and select their preferred contact method.
