Nowadays, digitisation is no longer negligible, and most of your prospects are looking to have exactly the same online experience as if they were visiting your store. They now have a multitude of channels at their disposal to be accompanied during an online purchase: digital showrooms, virtual tours, 360° views, sales via videochat, live chat, ...
Nevertheless, it is important to properly guide and inform your prospects about these new "tools" you made available to them. After all, these tools are there for their comfort and to enable them to have the best possible experience when shopping online. This can only stimulate their curiosity.
Your marketing strategy should therefore ideally focus on informing your public about these new tools. It's good to create them and put them online, but if no one knows where they are or what they're for, you won't get any feedback.
As far as live chat is concerned, there are a lot of possibilities to inform your customers and also to stand out at the same time. Knowing that you are always available, via a simple and quick live chat, allows readers to remember your presence and to keep thinking about you. In other words, you become Top of Mind.
