  • Improve visibility of new launches and offers

Attentive Widget differentiates from other chat widgets in the market for its laser-focus on e-commerce and broad capabilities, with the ability to live chat, share products, fill orders and make payments all from within the widget.

Vonage customer HolidayPirates, is one of the fastest-growing, free-to-use, travel search platform providing users with the best value for money travel deals:

“We built a marketing channel on WhatsApp and it turned out to be the most engaging channel for us. The messaging strategy is very simple – we’re broadcasting the best selection of travel deals on the market. Our users value this service tremendously as they can stay up to date with the best offers without having to do the research themselves,” said Kamila Skötsch, Global CRM Team Lead for HolidayPirates. “With Vonage Conversational Commerce we have already increased our cost efficiency by 18%. By targeting our active users, we’re connecting in real-time with those that are searching for travel deals and reaching them within seconds – giving them the ability to easily take advantage of these deals and book before the price changes.”

“Vonage is ahead of the pack of cloud-based solutions supporting Conversational Commerce,” explained Dan Miller, Lead Analyst and Founder of Opus Research. “These conversations take place over time and employ multiple channels and culminate in a completed transaction.
