Struggling to find time to email? Instant Chat instead!
Posted by RSVP on
Life can be pretty hectic these days. Running from work to friends to family commitments can be exhausting. And writing a long/funny/witty/memorable first email to someone you are interested in often gets left to the bottom of the to do list! Instead of missing out on contacting someone, why don't you try RSVP's instant chat feature instead?Instant chat is our solution to giving you a quick and on the spot chance to talk to someone, whilst still keeping your contact details private.
It couldn't be simpler:
- Make sure the person you want to chat to is online (you can tell that they are if there is a green icon in their profile info box or it says "online now" in green next to their profile name)
- Click on the "chat to me" button on their profile page
- The other member gets a pop up box letting them know that you want to chat with them
- They have an option to accept or decline the chat
- If they do accept, you can start chatting (typing) away and off you go!
The cost to chat is the same as sending the first email (one stamp) but as you get to have a conversation straight away it takes away the painful job of writing that first email and the worry of waiting, maybe days, for the response!
You will be charged one stamp in order to open up this communication (which will only happen if this is the first time that you have contacted this particular member, and only if they accept the request to chat).
We've also added some buttons on the right hand side of your text box which give you an opportunity to change the look of the text to add your own flavour to your conversation. And don't forget, once you have opened communication with this member, you can chat or email them as much as you like for the next 30 days.
So if you want to contact someone, but worry that you don't have the time to spend on crafting that perfect email, use instant chat instead and start making contact today!
