Let me show you how you can add a WordPress Sliding “Leave a Message” with sticky button – a floating call to action button that sticks around as users scroll the page. But first of all, here’s why you should:

It’s very important to get in touch with your site users. That’s why you encourage them to send you a message. However, we know that a pop-up call to action widget can sometimes be too intrusive. Moreover, you want your “Leave a Message” widget to “be there” when they need it. In other words, it needs to be visible to your users at all times. This way, users can send you a message anytime they want to without leaving the page. They don’t even have to leave that spot on the page to scroll up or down to your message button. Therefore, they won’t lose sight of the main content they go for in the first place.
The result: satisfied, well-engaged, and interacting users.

This is how a WordPress sliding “Leave a Message” with sticky button looks like:
