While messaging ​apps like Rakuten Viber​ have opened the door to easier and faster customer service regarding FAQs, checking accounts, ​order tracking, ​or ​product​ inquiries, voice conversations remain essential when handling complex issues or fostering a personal connection.

Viber Business Calls (VBC) puts the power of voice calls at the heart of your customer support. Keep the perks of OTT messaging while expanding your support over voice, all on one channel. 

In this blog, we will explain how Infobip’s platform can connect the dots of your ​Rakuten ​Viber infrastructure so that you can engage with your customers however they prefer. 

End-user challenges you need to address 

Interaction limitations 

80%

of customers say the experience a company provides is just as necessary as its products or services

While messaging can foster communication and provide rich media opportunities to convey your message, adding voice support would be a pinnacle. It could reduce customer frustration and make brand-user communication more convenient, persuasive, and effective. 

User accessibility 

Handling inquiries from overseas means expensive international call fees for you and your customers. These high costs force you to limit support hours or even discourage customers from specific countries from contacting you altogether, hindering your business growth. 

Consolidating all your ​Rakuten ​Viber communications centrally within a single instance with predictable fees would be simpler and less hassle

Impersonal service 

Diagnosing technical issues without direct observation or interaction is challenging, leading to longer resolution times and customer dissatisfaction. 

Text-based support is ideal for many use cases, but an additional human touch is sometimes necessary to address sensitive topics effectively. Offering customers to make a free call to your brand could be the solution to enhance their experience further. 

Enter the power of Viber Business Calls 

Viber Business Calls transforms customer interactions, addressing these challenges head-on: 

Effortless engagement 

You can tap and call straight from the chat with a business on Rakuten Viber or from the Viber Business Account, so users don’t have to hunt for your number. 

​​Free i​n-app voice calls create a seamless experience, fostering stronger customer connections. 

Being a convenient in-app solution, Business Calls empower brands to improve brand accessibility, elevate crisis management, and gain a competitive advantage with free support from customers anywhere.
