The best approach is to specify on your landing page how you expect buyers to communicate with you. For an initial communication, this is likely to be either by email or telephone.
Be sure to respond promptly to all inquiries. It’s best to do this within a maximum of 24 hours. If you’re not able to respond in full for whatever reason, then at least send them a message confirming receipt of their communication.
