Chatbots attract customers on social media

With the boom of social media and benefits of the Internet, people are becoming dependent on the Internet. The digital generation of customers needs to communicate with their friends, relatives and favorite brands via social media. 

They can spend ½ of their time each day accessing the Internet to work, surf social media and shop online. For that reason, every business is focusing on promoting their products and selling on online channels. Customers love the convenience and speed of the Internet. Therefore, they always want instant support on online channels when having any questions about products, prices, or promotions, etc. However, customers do not receive speedily support from customer service teams at every time. Besides, customers do not always decide to buy right at the time they send messages, so they prefer to serve themselves, search and see products on websites. But this takes them a considerable amount of time. With a chatbot automatically responding 24/7/365 - a friendly and diligent virtual agent, customers do not need to wait and worry of being judged when asking so much but not buying anything. 

On Facebook alone, more than 100,000 chatbots are working, continuously answering questions from customers and handling orders, supporting businesses to save time, effort and human resources.

If your small business is doing business online on social media channels, not using chatbots is a great regret. When shopping on online platforms, what customers commonly interest in and ask about is price, color, size, address, shipping. Responding to 100 customers for these questions only can take 1 working day of an employee. So, instead of humans answering repetitive questions, chatbots will be more productive and efficient. Chatbots help businesses reduce the time, effort spent on answering dozens of similar questions, responding to thousands of people at the same time.

Chatbots completely can perform a full selling process of a salesperson: Greeting customers - Consulting - Guide customers to the right products/categories - Consulting and persuading customers again - Guide customers to buy - Order - Close the deal. Businesses just need to set up a scenario for chatbot to answer customers logically, chatbots will help your business attract customers, attain them and increase sales.
