Web widgets
These applications are built into the site. They come in two types:
interactive, that is, users interact with them;
non-interactive, that is, working without interaction, independently, independent of the client.
A non-interactive widget is called an "informer". It can display exchange rates or weather forecasts.
Interactive applications are social media buttons, message widgets. Social media buttons look like the logo of a specific social network - Twitter, Facebook, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram. They are built into the site so that users can share interesting materials with their audience. Such applications show how interesting this or that information is. If the content is shared, it is really useful.
With the help of applications on the Internet resource, a convenient service is created without much effort and investment. For example, VKontakte widgets for the site act as a more modern type of online consultants, only working through VKontakte. A person can ask questions to the managers of the online store, clarify some data, etc. from any convenient social network in which he is registered.
Communication usually continues through personal correspondence via a social network profile.
This is a godsend for lazy users who don't want to do extra steps to register. You don't need to register on the site in several stages - just contact its employees via social networks.
Desktop widgets
They work exclusively on the operating platform and require a widget engine to run. Such a widget performs one task. For example, it counts and monitors the time required for work, or legal leads for sale places notes on virtual boards located on the screen.
Widgets help customers and improve the level of service on a web resource. A properly selected and installed application will allow you to attract new customers, maintain prompt communication with them and ultimately increase sales.
Message widget
The profit of the site depends on the client's awareness of the product. In this aspect, the function of feedback with users, communication with them is extremely important. It is with the help of installing the message widget that the resource develops.
This application allows customers to correspond with employees of online stores online. This way, users are most fully informed about the product and its nuances. Accordingly, the chances that they will make a purchase increase. Externally, it is a dialog box or a button.
People are usually willing to ask questions in online chats. They have time to formulate a message correctly, think, ask again, ask again - in general, calmly and thoughtfully make a decision about a purchase. In addition, it does not require material costs, saves time. Therefore, users, when they get to the site, immediately look for a window for feedback.
The Messages widget has fewer requirements than others.
The lower left corner is preferred, but if space is occupied, the lower right corner will do.
The client always has the ability to collapse the chat, as well as close it entirely at any time.
The manager answering on the other side of the chat must respond to the question promptly, within one or two minutes, no more - that's the whole point. If the employee responds in two hours, then using the application is pointless.
The chat should indicate its status: is the consultant free or busy, are there operators in the chat or are there none. The client should be informed so that he does not write just like that, into the void. Moreover, the status should indicate the approximate time when the specialist will be able to answer the question. For example: "We are sorry, at the moment all operators are busy. The approximate waiting time for a response is 10 minutes."
It makes sense to place a photo of the operator in the application window. The user should understand that he is communicating with a real person, not a robot. It is better to take a real photo, not from stocks. Yes, this is a small thing, but it is such small things that increase customer loyalty, and therefore contribute to purchases and profit.
It would be a good idea to write an appeal to customers in the chat, offering to solve some problem. The creative component of the text should be worked out. That is, not just say: "Write, operators are online", but with emotions: "Do you have any questions? We will be happy to answer them!"
