About The Customer
Warehouse Skateboards is a premier online retailer of skateboards, skateboard accessories and skate clothing based in Wilmington, North Carolina. The company helps skateboarders and their parents select or custom design the perfect skateboard. With over 10,000 skateboards, and 4,000 accessories to offer, Warehouse Skateboards is one of the largest online providers, serving customers throughout the United States. The company has four full-time agents, and offers chat 24 hours a day.
The Challenge
Warehouse Skateboards, a premier online retailer of skateboards, skateboard accessories and skate clothing, was facing a challenge with the costs of engaging their customers via an 800 number. The phone bills were eating up all of their profits and they needed to find a way to move those conversations away from the phone. The company was also facing issues with their website's user interface and content, which were not reflecting how their customers shopped and thought. They needed a solution that would not only reduce their customer service costs but also improve their website's user experience and conversion rates.
The Solution
Warehouse Skateboards implemented LivePerson’s award-winning live chat solution on its site. A click-to-chat button invites visitors to 'Chat with a real skateboarder.' The company chats with a hundred or more visitors each day. The live chat solution also includes real-time visitor monitoring, which allows chat agents to watch visitors as they click through the site. This feature helped the company realize that their menu options and conversion paths were off and needed to be fixed. The company also made use of the canned messages feature, which allowed them to have pre-written responses for common inquiries, making the chat process more efficient.
Operational Impact
  • By migrating customer inquiries to live chat, Warehouse Skateboards significantly lowered its toll free costs.
  • The company was able to enhance all of its conversion paths based on how real visitors interact with the site.
  • They improved their content, making it easier for parents to buy the skateboards and accessories their children will love.
  • The company's chat agents love their jobs, which means less attrition.
Quantitative Benefit
  • The company is converting an additional one percent of all visitors, which brings them $50,000 in revenue for one seat of the software.
