How to Boost Your Online Business by Interacting with Visitors?
Running an online business means depending on website visitors
and online sales.
Online businesses usually try to replace every possible
interaction among the seller and the buyer with automated
functions. They try to provide customers with functionalities to
search through products, change their attributes, inform
themselves of features, add products to virtual shopping baskets
and at the end - automatically check out and pay.
The whole process is dependent upon the credibility of your
company in your customers' eyes, their ability to find the
desired product and make the purchase decision using the
available information.
According to this, the most important variable is your ability
to anticipate their needs, provide the required information and
reinforce credibility through the buying process.
Why not take things into your own hands?
Why not help your visitors and interact with them while buying
and making decisions?
Why not be there for providing more information?
Why not show them that you care?
And why not do all this with the greatest of ease?
All those things can be done by using live chat support
software. It will give your website the charm of the traditional
store and you can "walk" with your customer through the site and
give assistance when needed.
What can you improve by using live chat support?
You can help your customers to:
* find relevant information quickly on your e-commerce website;
* get additional information about your products and services;
* make quicker decisions when choosing products, by asking them
certain questions and offering the best-suited product;
* reassure themselves about the trustworthiness of the website;
* and make the check-out and payment processes a 'painless'
experience.
And you can help yourself to:
* increase sales
* provide visitors with exceptional online customer service;
* have an instant view of how many visitors are currently
browsing your website;
* have an instant insight into how long they have stayed on each
page;
* initiate chat with any visitor anytime;
* find out what your customers like / dislike about your
products and company and take actions to reinforce or correct
it;
* find out what kind of information you can add to your website
or your FAQ and how to reorganize the content on the website;
* promote your special or seasonal offers proactively
* and many other gains depending on your type of business.
The whole point is to provide a two-way channel for
communication. You provide your customers the answers they need
and vice versa - they provide your company with valuable
feed-back about their opinions and preferences. Adding an
interaction channel to an online business has the greatest
benefits compared to brick & click and pure offline businesses,
because there is no other channel for real time communication
with customers.
