Unlike other marketing tools, chatbots are not only good at keeping their customer engage for long time but also great for retaining them. They catch visitor’s attention and engage them by delivering relevant information regarding the brand, products, and services. By serving on multiple channels including social media platforms, they can reach to wide audiences. So, whether they visit your Shopify store or not, you can still attract them on a platform where they are already present.
