To help bridge the gap between physical and digital, Confer With’s suggestions feature enables virtual retail teams with tools to upsell, down-sell, and cross-sell straight from the recommendation engine.
There is an overwhelming demand for online retailers to replicate in-store interactions. Customers are no longer placing priority on brands who deliver just on price, but those who deliver on personalisation and building strong customer relationships. However, instead of delighting customers, brands often miss precious opportunities to increase average order value, conversions and overall satisfaction. By leveraging our suggestions feature, we aim to change this.
With immersion, such as the suggestions feature, experts can show a variety of products, one-to-one with the customer.
