These virtual marketing agents are equipped with artificial intelligence, making them true assistants for customers (in the event of a purchase) and for companies.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"le-chatbot-aide-le-client-des-son-arrivee-sur-le-site-de-l-entreprise\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_chatbot_helps_customers_as_soon_as_they_arrive_on_the_companys_website\"><\/span>The chatbot helps customers as soon as they arrive on the company\u2019s website  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/fr\/\">What\u2019s a chatbot<\/a>? How does it help the customer?<\/p>\n\n<p>When an Internet user visits your online store for the first time, a <strong>chatbot guarantees a pleasant experience<\/strong>. Indeed, bots are <a href=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/en\/chatbot-and-livechat-a-revolution-for-automation-of-customer-services\/\">marketing<\/a> tools that are programmed to send a welcome message to the (potential) customer. In this way, they initiate a conversation with prospects long before they discover and purchase the products on sale. The chat agent then directs the visitor to specific pages based on the data or information provided by the latter. This service, offered by chatbots, <strong>multiplies the rate of online product sales<\/strong>. And that, of course, is good for business.     <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"le-chatbot-favorise-la-recherche-de-produits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chatbots_promote_product_search\"><\/span>Chatbots promote product search  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>One of the most unfavorable situations for a company\u2019s business is the phenomenon of shopping cart abandonment. According to information gathered from customers, this phenomenon is encouraged by the absence of certain products or information on the company\u2019s website. When users lack information about a product or service, they may abandon the purchase. To overcome this problem and strengthen the seller-customer relationship, chatbots are an <strong>excellent way of optimizing the purchasing experience<\/strong>. They suggest products to users based on their expectations. The more advanced the artificial intelligence, the more the bot\u2019s product suggestions will match the customer\u2019s needs.      Chatbot software is usually available in French and several other languages.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chatbot-help.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Chatbot help\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chatbot-help.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/botnation.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/chatbot-help-300x164.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"le-chatbot-propose-des-avis-et-conseils-au-client\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_chatbot_offers_opinions_and_advice_to_the_customer\"><\/span>The chatbot offers opinions and advice to the customer  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>As mentioned above, as soon as customers lack information about the products they\u2019re interested in, the sale can fall through. This is not good for the seller-customer relationship or for your company\u2019s image.  <\/p>\n\n<p>So when you equip your online store with chatbots, they\u2019ll provide answers to all user queries. The data or information provided by the bot generally concerns buying advice and user reviews left by former customers who have used the service.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The use of artificial intelligence is the perfect way to deliver a rich and satisfying user experience. This makes it easier for <a href=\"https:\/\/botnation.ai\/en\/relationship-between-customer-and-company\/\">customers and companies<\/a> to buy and sell online.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"le-chatbot-accompagne-le-client-meme-apres-l-achat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_chatbot_accompanies_the_customer_even_after_purchase\"><\/span>The chatbot accompanies the customer even after purchase  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Once the sale is made, some companies think their job is done. But after-sales service is essential to improve the relationship between the brand and the user. It has to be said, however, that not all service providers implement this marketing strategy, not least because it requires financial resources and time.   Indeed, to be functional, <strong>customer service<\/strong> needs to be run by a <strong>team of professionals<\/strong>, which can be expensive.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The good news is that by opting for a web robot or chatbot, not only do you save money, but you can also <strong>offer a unique experience to your consumers<\/strong>. Even after the products have been purchased, the virtual agent can continue to send messages to buyers via social networks or other channels. This assistance will help build customer loyalty, as they will inevitably think of you for their next needs. It should also be pointed out that chatbots are permanently functional.    Whether it\u2019s via Messenger, Facebook or WhatsApp, the web user will always get real-time responses to every request.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Even if the virtual agent can\u2019t completely and totally replace human action, it offers advantages that can considerably change the course of your online activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The use of chatbots has grown dramatically in recent years.
