It can be very tempting to only provide an email or contact form for visitors to reach you if they have questions. However, in this day and age of instant communication, they want an answer right this second.
Can your customers ask questions 24/7? Visitors who engage with a live chat, especially, expect a quick response.
I found these statistics:
- Customers who chat before purchasing have a 40% higher conversion rate.
- Live chat has the highest satisfaction levels for any customer service channel, with 73%, compared with 61% for email and 44% for phone.
- It is also 400% less expensive than phone support.
- Over 60% of millennials use live chat for questions.
