Linc’s platform data from this year’s holiday shopping season showed that promotion support is the most common inquiry type following order-specific related questions. On Black Friday alone, promotion-issue related questions, ranked second beneath “change shipping address” questions, demonstrating the need to seamlessly resolve these types of issues and queries. Linc’s Promotion Support Digital Worker builds upon its existing Promotion Finder Digital Worker, which launched last year, allowing the user to discover and receive information about current promotions.
Today’s general promotional support chatbots only answer generic questions about promotions, leaving it to the consumer to figure out their own solution using broad guidance from the chatbot. Linc’s promotional support delivers full resolution of the customer’s issues in real-time. Most importantly Linc’s eCommerce expertise is crucial and readily available when consumers are at critical points in their buying process, trying to use a specific promotion.
The digital worker will guide the customer throughout the inquiry process all the way through final checkout, ensuring sales are not lost due to confusion around promotions.
