Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for Marketing Agencies
Want to increase productivity and efficiency in your marketing agency? Interactive voice response (IVR) can help you build a systematic and automated process that organizes and distributes incoming calls so your employees can service customers better.
How Can IVR Support Marketing and Advertising Campaigns
Interactive voice response is a cloud-based communication tool that uses automation to answer and distribute inbound calls. The automated system presents callers with a set of menus and pre-recorded messages. And based on caller input, either by voice or by dialing buttons on the keypad, the IVR will either transfer calls to the right department or assist the caller in completing their task through automation.
This service can be purchased through virtual phone service providers such as Global Call Forwarding. And you can customize this automated system based on your business’ needs and what actions you would like callers to complete.
Having such a tool set up as part of your agency’s communication system can help organize incoming calls and increase office productivity. Callers can directly connect with the right extension and in some cases, even complete tasks without the help of an employee.

You can distribute calls based on the services your agency offers or by departments. For instance: New customers, Press 1. For SEO and web development, Press 2. For social media assistance, Press 3, and so on. Or, Press 1 for customer support. Press 2 for sales. Press 3 for accounting. Press 4 for our employee directory, and so on.
