E-commerce Chatbot Case Study – Michael Kors’s Chatbot

Chatbots are more than just a new channel for consumers to find deals and make e-commerce purchases. From handling customers to solving their queries, e-commerce chatbot enables customers to buy products straight from the chat. E-commerce platforms require quick and prompt customer support services, and your FAQ section or live chat agent can’t meet these needs effectively every time. Chatbots can handle these responses anytime, anywhere.

Michael Kors – well known USA brand which sells men’s and women’s ready-to-wear clothes, accessories, watches, jewellery, footwear, and fragrance came up with a chatbot solution for its global audience in 2018.

The brand had mainly 3 purposes behind creating this chatbot –

1. Increase brand awareness and engagement by delivering personalized customer service.
2. Product discovery and ideal storytelling to derive customers’ consideration for products.
3. And provide general FAQ handling for better customer experience.

The chatbot was created with the idea of generating marketing funnel and strategy. The chatbot lets you explore various products of the brand. You can ask your queries and chatbot will answer your question and keep you engaged. Since, Michael Kors is a global brand, the chatbot provides service based on a user’s location – country. After selecting the location, chatbot presents a menu of options.
