Why use messaging apps as a channel for Customer Care? Simply because 67% of people expect to use it to talk to your business! Adding messaging channels like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter, improves Customer Care because makes interactions easier, allows secure information sharing and give off a fresh image of your company.
Messaging apps in the Digital Customer Support have multiple advantages: first of all, they are a valid alternative to Live Chat, then allow to make asynchronous conversations and offer a lot of useful functions like "message read" status, image and geolocation.
Messaging apps are mainstream and their use is going to increase always more thanks to new platforms like Apple Business Chat and WhatsApp Business. According to Gartner in a few years messaging apps use will even surpass traditional channel in Customer Care.
Be there in the right place
Being available for your Customers on relevant channels is core. Various companies adopt an omnichannel approach and use all digital channels for Customer Care; among them, messaging is one of the most popular, especially among younger customers, in fact, 91% of teenager use messaging apps every day.
Another factor to consider is the users' preferences based on demographics. If you operate in different countries, you should make sure to be available on the most popular messaging apps. For example, in Europe most people use Whatsapp but in North America, Facebook Messenger is preferred.
