Sometimes a conversation is all you need to get the lead.
Unfortunately, that’s the reality for all businesses online these days. There is just so much noise on the internet that if you don’t ask, you shall never receive.
Have you ever stopped to wonder what happens to the tens of thousands of visitors your website hauls in each month?
How many of them actually convert into customers? And how many of them close the page because they were “simply on the way home from work”? Now that’s a question that’ll keep you up at night.
In reality, that’s a tonne of lost revenue when you think about it. What’s changed?
There’s Been a Noticeable Shift in Online Business
How to Increase Website Conversions and Satisfy Customer Demands With Live Chat
Rather than rambling on about how great live chat is, we’re going to show you exactly how it works and how it slots perfectly into your business.
Case Study
Traffic was coming through with the intent of purchasing flooring.
Who: Business A sells flooring online
Industry: Ecommerce
Revenue: Have a monthly revenue of $200,000
The Problem: Business A had a problem converting website visitors. The average consumer was a first time buyer of flooring and were unsure about how to buy the most suitable type of flooring. However, if the customer called and spoke to a rep over the phone after visiting the website, the conversion rate was around 30% – 40%.
The Challenge: Business A realised that their industry experience and knowledge about their products gave customers the confidence to make a purchase. However, they were not able to replicate this experience online.
Let’s Take a Look at Industry-specific Conversion Rates
It’s Important to Remember
Conversion rates are always highly contextual. Even companies within the same industry are not directly comparable, because of differences in target audience, product/service offering, and business model, among other factors. This can include device, country, and seasonal anomalies.
