Why do merchants should add the messenger widget?

1. Make a good impression

According to a research titled “Making Proactive Chat Work” which was conducted by Forrester Research, 44% of interviewed customers said that their questions should be answered by a live person, which is one of the most important features an online shopping platform should offer.

In another research, the organization also revealed that Wells Fargo (an American financial services company) made use of live chat support in 2008, and it resulted in high customer satisfaction scores and a double-digit increase in converted shoppers.

2. Cost reduction

When compared with traditional customer services (e.g. answering inquiries via phone call or email), live chat support can help customers get answers in a shorter period of time. Moreover, merchants can reply to messages from several customers via an online messaging tool simultaneously, which results in cost reduction.

3. Minimize the time customers spend on consideration

If customers have questions about merchants’ products or service, and they can be addressed rapidly, it can shorten the time they spend on consideration in their shopping journeys.
