Hi there,
I posted this in the Ticketing Forum but maybe it belongs in the Customer Service forum...
Do any of you offer a live chat feature on your website? If so, would you mind answering a few questions:
1) Where is the option presented? On problematic transactional pages, login page, a permanent menu item, etc?
2) How many chats per day do you handle?
3) What are the hours of operation?
4) Has having live chat cut down on the number of calls from frustrated or confused web patrons?
Any other helpful hints or lessons learned?
Thanks!Mary
Donna – sorry I can’t tell on the list serve, what organization are you with? I’d love to take a look at the website.
Thanks
Jen

Hi
We have been using live chat for the past 8 months with great success
Our phone staff can speak on the phone and manage live chat at the same time!
The web chat button is on our home page also under your visit and is also embedded on other pages when we have promoted a specific project – we have access to our CMS so can add and remove the button as required
We are online using web chat to answer questions during normal office hours – outside of that time the question is just emailed to us so we still get to reply to the query
We open our online sales for priority bookers 3 times a year at midnight and use live chat to offer technical support to our customers which is also hugely successful
Web chat is so easy to use and much less formal than an email so much quicker to reply to
Everyone who contacts us through web chat loves it!
Hope this helps
Donna

Mary,
Since no one has replied here, I am wondering if you went ahead anyway, and if so how it went?
Thanks!
