To address these challenges, Lincoln Davies Building Supply collaborated with digital marketing agency C & D Advertising to design a Customers.ai chatbot. This chatbot was embedded on the company’s website to greet customers with a mobile-friendly product catalog and a $100 savings offer. The chatbot was programmed to answer the many common questions that the staff frequently answers, thereby reducing the burden on the customer support team. Every person who messaged the website chatbot was sent the sale promotion and was able to easily browse products by category. Additionally, Lincoln Davies saved every conversation in its customer database, providing valuable insights for future customer interactions and sales strategies.
