Gone are the days where shoppers have to wait on hold for hours, listening to an annoying jingle on loop before successfully reaching a customer service representative. In todayās ecommerce world, customers expect answers to their questions and problems no matter the time of day (or night). Case in point: Brands that arenāt investing heavily in customer support are missing out.Ā
Enter chat marketing. Because chatbots are available to offer help 24/7, itās easy to understand why millions of brands use them to supplement live customer support. In fact, studies have found that 75% of shoppers prefer texting and chatting with brands rather than old-school channels like phone or email. Itās not only more convenient for shoppers, but itās also good business ā in 2022, retailers will save up to $8 billion by using chat-based automation.Ā
While implementing a chat marketing solution to your Shopify store is a relatively straightforward process, doing it well takes skill. First and foremost, chatbots have to quickly understand and solve customer problems. But just as important, they should be designed to reflect a brandās personality. In other words, chatbots are not just a customer service tool ā they also double as a marketing channel, giving stores the chance to support (and even surprise!) potential and existing customers.Ā
