Customer Care

Instant interaction through real-time customer care results in increased sales revenue and decreased support expenses. Compared to traditional call center activities, online Customer Care increases response time and lowers the cost of obtaining customer feedback.
Reflecting the substantial value of online communities and the technologies that power them (Chat Rooms, Message Boards, Instant Messaging, and Web Polls), a 2001 McKinsey & Company study noted that users of Web site community products "who contribute product reviews or post messages visit these sites nine times as often as non-users do, remain twice as loyal, and buy twice as often."
