4 Apps to Improve Your Customer Experience

Provide 24/7 assistance with LiveChat

A great way to improve your customers’ shopping experience is by adding LiveChat chatbot to your website. LiveChat offers direct, personalized customer service from the bottom of a user’s screen anytime they visit your site. With 24/7 functionality, LiveChat gives customers the instant service that they’re used to getting in a traditional store—and gives you valuable customer data that you can use later on.

LiveChat makes it easy for you to interact with multiple customers at once, and is easy for customers to locate on your site. You can also use LiveChat to learn who your customers are and what they are interested in. If they opt in, consider using an interaction with LiveChat as a starting point for an automated follow-up email with Customer Journey Builder to close the support claim, ask for feedback or reviews, and more.

Mailchimp’s LiveChat integration also gives you critical insights about your customers’ behavior, because you can use frequently asked questions as valuable data for improving your website’s functionality. For example, if you notice that visitors keep asking you where to find a product page on your site, you can use that information to enhance your site and make the page more visible.

All in all, providing a 24/7 chatbot not only helps you foster better customer experiences, but it also provides useful information to help you remain engaged with them.

Expand your reach with SimpleTexting

In a mobile-first world, providing quality customer service means offering multiple modes of contact. SMS text messaging is a great way to cater to customers who may prefer communicating offline. With the SimpleTexting integration, you quickly and easily send your customers SMS text messages to engage in targeted 1-on-1 conversations.

Once connected, you can use SimpleTexting to complete myriad tasks such as running scheduled promotions, sharing coupons, collecting customer reviews, launching products, and conducting 2-way customer service conversations. For instance, if you’re planning a seasonal sale, you can use text messages to let your customers know when the sale begins and how much they can save. And the data shows customers are getting on board. A recent survey by Simpletexting found 62% of surveyed consumers said they’ve subscribed to receive text messages from at least one business in the last year, and nearly half (43%) of marketers who use SMS marketing report click-thru rates between 20 and 35%.

When you connect SimpleTexting with Mailchimp, you can use both to maximize your marketing efforts. You can prompt customers to provide their email address, and if they opt in for emails, you can add them to your audience for future campaigns. You can also use Mailchimp forms to collect customers’ phone numbers so if they opt in, you can contact them via automated text marketing campaigns.

For business owners who prefer to stay in close contact with their customers, SimpleTexting is the perfect solution.
