Chatbot marketing case study – The Creatives 360°

Before discussing how our website benefited from chatbot marketing, let me explain briefly about our business to get a better understanding of how chatbot marketing helped us. If you already know us, skip the next paragraph. 

The Creatives 360° – Your digital marketing partner: We are a digital marketing agency based in Sharjah, helping brands, especially startups, to lay a strong foundation for their brand marketing and promotion. We cover all kinds of digital marketing strategies to promote our client’s businesses, and we help them reach more people on the internet. 

So, you know that lead generation is the crucial stage for almost all businesses nowadays including us, especially for b2b businesses. Being a digital marketing agency, we have employed all the different lead generation strategies, but nothing delivered this level of high conversion our chatbots generate. 

chatbots can perform well when you supply them with more traffic. So, we have generated a decent amount of traffic from PPC, social media and search engines to our website. Out of all the traffic we generate, we managed to get at least 10 leads per month from our tidio chatbot on our website. 

Challenges Before Implementing Chatbot Marketing. 

  1. A low number of employees: Like most businesses in Sharjah, we are also a startup, we recently launched our agency in Sharjah. At the initial phase of the startup, we didn’t have enough members on our team to respond to inquiries on emails and outreach, we required one more team member for the support service for our agency. 
  2. Lack of instant support: We have been generating traffic to our landing page through different channels and platforms, we conveyed our message and promotion through our website content. If someone wants to engage, either they’ll call us or email us. Again We needed one dedicated person to respond to the call and emails. Some emails and calls which we received after our office hours were answered the next business day only. 
  3. Not having enough leads: We haven’t gotten enough leads from our paid campaigns, we got a good amount of traffic, but something was lagging in the conversion stage. 

So, like most of the startups out there, we have been facing the above challenges in our agency. 

Results After Chatbot Marketing 

With tidio as our Chatbot platform, we have benefited in numerous ways. 

It reduced our Bounce Rate

One of the major benefits of implementing Chatbot Marketing into our business is, that we have reduced our website bounce rate. The percentage of people bouncing back from our website has been reduced by 35% in the past 6 months. Because people love to engage with our Chatbot and get the most value out of it. 

While our website visitors are engaging with our chatbot, they are spending more time on Google, which indicates to Google that our website has some good content which makes them spend time on our website (and Google) so it will boost our ranking.

Now with the help of this Chatbot Marketing, we are pushing more traffic to our lead magnets. 

We Scaled our Customer Support

We have scaled our customer support system, not by hiring extra customer support members, but just by implementing chatbot marketing. After we have embedded the Tidio Chat Bot system on our website, we have configured it with our most common FAQs and directions to our lead magnets. Most of the enquiries from our users are covered within the FAQs we have configured, if some enquiry happened apart from this, Chatbot will notify us, and one dedicated team member will take over that chat instantly. So, hereafter we are not in the need of any extra support person for our team. Which helped us to save a lot of cost on hiring more dedicated support persons. 

We delivered customer engagement 24/7

Since these Chatbots are automated once at initial setup, we don’t need to be physically present in front of the screen to respond to each user’s query. 

We ran PPC ads on different time schedules. Apart from business hours, we can’t respond to those inquiries. Now with chatbot marketing, we can respond to any inquiry anytime with anyone.
