Survey Says: Consumers Want Live Help But how important is Live Help? What drives consumers to use it? And when do they prefer a live voice or live chat? Ryan Hoppe Marketing Director ATG Optimization Services

ATG Live Help Consumer Survey 

First broad consumer survey to examine the relative importance of live online help and to uncover when and why consumers prefer a live voice or live chat



Goals: 1.

2. 3.

Determine the relative importance of live online help – including click to call and click to chat – on business-to-consumer e-Commerce sites Identify key factors and considerations that drive consumers’ use of different customer service options, including live help Assess the relative usefulness of live voice help (via click to call) and live text chat (via click to chat) in different phases of the online buying cycle and among different demographics

Study Methodology  1,052 respondents, age 18 and older, living in the

continental United States  Respondents selected from panel of more than 2.5 million

individuals, profiled across more than 500 attributes (demographics, lifestyle, and behavioral characteristics)  Respondents further differentiated by characteristics such

as browsing and purchasing frequency online, to ensure sample represented was active on the Web  Error rate of +/- 3% for each 1,000 respondents

Key Findings 1. Live help services play a key role in

converting online transactions 2. Consumers want their questions answered

while they shop or research 3. Consumers want options for live help 4. A live call back from a customer service rep

is the preferred live help option 5. Demand for Click to Call outpaces availability

Conclusions 

Consumers have spoken – they want live help and they want the choice of a live voice or live chat while they are online



Businesses should consider an integrated live help solution that targets the right type of help (voice or chat) at the right shoppers at the right time



Based on usage data, Click to Call is not as broadly available as Chat despite its preference among consumers in key situations – businesses should be careful about relying on a toll free number to deliver real-time voice help to online shoppers
