Why Use A Chatroom On Your Website?


Lack of trust is cited as the most frequent reason that online customers don't buy. Shoppers want input, advice and security so it's a good idea to be readily available when customers show up on your site. That's why you want a "Live Interactive Chatroom!" on your website and the good news is that some are free to use that immediately alert you when someone online wants to chat! There are also advanced chatroom versions that can alert you to activity when someone is surfing your website in real time so you can initiate a chat with them immediately.

Quoting former Intel client of mine: "With most shopping sites, it's like walking around shopping malls that have been neutron bombed -- there's a lot of merchandise, but no people around to give it context," said Steve McGeady, a former Intel executive and now chairman of Sidetalk, one of the companies in the group browsing market. http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20000710S0004

Think of this scenario for a minute, let's say you own a small business that sells gift items online or even a local pizza delivery business or any type of website. A customer sees your chatroom link and clicks on it to chat with you and your chatroom link is active. You simply answer the chat alert to guide your customers to products on your website you want them to see. Website chatrooms are a great way to improve customer relations and to stay in touch with your customers. Think of an interactive chatroom to work in the same manner as the telephone at your business and the more you use chat services the more popular ( by word of mouth ) your site will become.

There are simple chatrooms to more advanced versions on the Internet today. A great Free chatroom we recommend comes from a company called Bold Chat.

How Bold Chat Works!


You login to your Boldchat software to make it operate when you first go online. Each time you turn off your computer it becomes inactive showing no operators are available. But when its on, it becomes another great marketing tool for your business and the best part is, it's free! A price we can all appreciate! Bold Chats (totally free version) works only when a customer initiates a chat from your website! I first learned of BoldChat when they only had about 600 customers. Now they have over 12,000 using there paid services and who knows how many use the free button. When activated the free Bold Chat system alerts you by use of a telephone ringing through your computers speakers when someone wants to chat! You can even hook up the button directly in an email!

Bold Chat is a Java based program that works on any computer that has Java enabled and most newer computers are Java enabled. If you can see our chat link button ( lower bottom of left navigator ) then you have Java enabled on your computer already. If not, you can go to the Java site and Download the newest Java version and then you will see our chat link when you refresh your page. If we are available we will chat with you. Java was created by Sun Microsystems and many developers write programs using Java Applets. In fact our software comes standard with Java programs for uploading and securely transferring Verisign encrypted data.

You may have witnessed this type of chat interaction before on corporate websites and we can set Bold Chat up for you. Bold Chats more advanced versions can alert you when someone is on your website and guide you to what page they're actually viewing so you can initiate a chat with them directly while they're on your website! However, Bold Chats advanced features cost more for customer interaction with customers on your site. The free version works just fine and it's simply code that operates it provided from Boldchat when you activate and download the free version, plus they will even show you how to install it!
