8 Ways to Optimize Live Chat for the Holidays

Use live chat to convert leads and spread holiday cheer! With the holidays on the horizon it’s time for your small business to amp up its live chat efforts and provide top-of-the-line customer service that converts all those extra website visitors into loyal customers! Here are eight tips to help you make the most of this shopping season. 1. Answer ASAP with Canned Responses When you have messages pouring in it’s essential to make sure you’re not wasting any time. Luckily you can create pre-made answers to the questions your team gets most often with canned responses. With canned responses you can instantly choose replies from a dropdown. Just remember to keep these responses true to the voice of your brand. People appreciate the friendly nature of live chat, so don’t be overly formal! 2. Be Available More Often We all know what it’s like to scramble for those final few gifts! Understand the mindset of your customers and try to expand your hours of availability to accommodate the unfortunate last-minute shopper. If this time-pressed group can’t get their questions answered immediately, they’ll head elsewhere, so make sure you don’t miss out on those leads. 3. Make it Easy to Multi-Task Adding availability hours would be a hassle if it meant you had to be chained to your desk, but our free mobile chat apps for iOS, Android and...
