Live chat widgets (or just chat widgets) provide an easy way to more proactively engage your website visitors in “real-time”.
How exactly does “live chat” work?
A chat widget is a piece of software that when implemented on your website pages, displays a live chat box within the visitor’s browser window. The live chat box enables your website visitors to communicate with you (or a chat operator working on your behalf) about your product or services via instant messaging. Having this immediacy of communication about your products or services with potential customers can result in more sales, which is exactly the point of implementing live chat.
