Press Release Summary: Launches industry-first integrated web click-to-call and callback solution over Skype
Press Release Body: Sunnyvale, Calif., May 21, 2008 - VoSKY, the market leader in developing Skype for business solutions, continues to deliver enhanced business communication applications with the launch of Click-to-Call, a unique offering that lets website visitors instantly talk with a company agent at the click of a button. VoSKY Click-to-Call integrates a company's website and phone system through Skype - enabling them to take advantage of Skype's low rates, easy implementation, and superior voice quality.
Tapping into Skype's community of more than 309 million users worldwide, VoSKY Web Click-to-Call allows Skype users to interact with company agents in real time - to learn more about an offer, find answers to questions, and enjoy personal service. Calls can be conducted through the user's computer over Skype, or via a landline or mobile phone with a call back request, allowing non-Skype users to also take advantage of the service. VoSKY Click-to-Call routes the call as a free SkypeIN or low-cost Skype Unlimited call, to significantly reduce a company's toll-free number and long-distance expenses.
According to Forrester Research, online B2C sales have been experienced 33% CAGR since 2002, and are expected to grow to $270 billion by 2011. And online advertising expenditures are growing at 25% annually, and projected to total $26 billion by 2010.
The real-time interaction of click-to-call optimizes these online sales and marketing initiatives, turning casual visitors into happy customers. By seamlessly connecting the caller to an agent, VoSKY Web Click-to-Call reduces website abandonment rates, makes sure customers receive personal attention to close a sale, and lets companies take advantage of cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. In fact, Jupiter Research found that click to call services can reduce website abandonment rates by 22-25%, reduce shopping cart abandonment by up to 50%, and increase online revenue by as much as 45%.
"Many companies understand the value of adding real-time interaction to their website, banner ads, emails, and search engine listings. However, integrating traditional click to call solutions into existing inside sales and customer services systems can seem daunting," said David Tang, VP of Global Marketing at VoSKY. "VoSKY Click-to-Call seamlessly integrates with a company's existing phone system, including their PBX, office phones, and call center solution. And using Skype's reliable and scalable VoIP network, VoSKY Click-to-Call greatly reduces a company's communication bill and ensures callers enjoy business-class voice quality and service."
VoSKY Click-to-Call is one of several value-added communication applications made possible by VoSKY Exchange, a PBX-to-Skype application gateway. VoSKY Exchange Skype-enables a company's existing phone system to allow businesses to take advantage of Internet Telephony without replacing their existing network infrastructure.
