A chatbot is a computer program that automates selected tasks by chatting with a user through a conversational interface. Beyond managing simple, repetitive requests, your chat bot can have built-in logic that can help you acquire quality leads and pass them directly to a salesperson in live chat, to close the deal. Offering chat solutions in various platforms, means you offer increased opportunities to connect with your brand. 69% of consumers prefer to use chatbots because they deliver quick answers to simple questions. Leveraging chatbots and AI on social media platforms as well as your website can have great benefits, including gaining you more ROI.

Do you have a simple task or a common inquiry you get asked repeatedly on your website? If the answer is yes, then you need a chatbot for your business. An easy to create, easy to install chatbot could save you valuable time and money by helping you with a repetitive, time-draining task (we call these the $1 tasks)!

Beyond managing simple, repetitive requests, you can also build in logic that can help you acquire quality leads and pass them directly to a salesperson in live chat and close the deal.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”90″][image_with_animation image_url=”6972″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”80″][image_with_animation image_url=”6987″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”3/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]

Deliver 24×7 Customer Support

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Chatbots can engage with customers 24×7 and improve customer experience. They can direct customers to answers that will genuinely help them which leads to support and increased customer satisfaction. 56% of customers prefer to message rather than call customer service. Here are simple recommendations chatbots can help with:

• Giving quick answers to questions
• Giving a resolution to a complaint or problem
• Reducing cart abandonment by offering to help with the checkout process or give a discount code

Given current trends, there will be only more customers in the future that require support. So chatbots seem to be a reasonable solution for brands that wish to scale their customer service without much of a cost increase.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#faedef” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]

Better Lead Generation and Nurturing

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Next up in the digital marketing hot seat is content marketing, which entails all of the creation and promotion of content assets that help us build your brand awareness, traffic growth, lead generation, and customer acquisition. In 2021 we have set our sights on the content king of marketing with video packages for our clients. Why video? Video marketing is up 38% and 72% of consumers say they prefer video over text based content. 

As we evolve and become more adept users of electronic media and the internet, we digest information at a more rapid pace then ever before. As marketers, we have a mere 7 seconds to capture our audience’s attention before they move onto the next piece of content. You’ll notice that intros are long-gone and more and more videos are jumping right into the main point of the content, a method which tries to keep the users attention for longer. Just like your website, with content marketing we are ensuring we optimize the content for growing and popular topics as well as competitive keywords. With the onslaught of platforms such as TikTok and IG Reels, it’s no wonder the future of content marketing is video!

 From Facebook to TikTok, Pinterest and more, it’s no secret that there are a lot of social media platforms out there, and they only seem to be growing. Without an end in sight and a plethora of platforms to choose from, how does one know which platform will work best for their company? It’s simple, really; some platforms are purely pay to play while others function like a search engine. When it comes right down to it, once you know where your ideal customers are spending the majority of their time, that is where you should be, too. That being said, each platform has its own specific use.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”90″][image_with_animation image_url=”7007″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”6987″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”3/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]
