Comment on Adding an online chat feature – good idea or not? by Tash Hughes

Thanks Susan.
Those time zones can make life tricky – a character in a book I just finished was saying how stupid time zones are and that life would easier if people didn’t make such rules, and that sentiment certainly applies in situations like this! Of course, time zones aren’t because people are difficult but that was the humour in the story

Hi Tash,

You are right about product companies and time zones. What I have found is some man their chat line 24 hours such as web hosts. Other for example if you only sell within Australia will have the lines manned to cater for Western Australia. Also they probably have people in the different time zones to cater for the customers. Agree if you have one to set it to disappear is a could idea.

Thanks for your comment, Susan.

I find that interesting as my perception (which could be way off the facts!) is that more product businesses would have broad customer bases than service businesses so the time zone issues would be more noticable.

You have me wondering though if a ‘leave us a message’ offline approach is best or perhaps setting it so the chat option disappears when you’re offline. I think having it disapepar doesn’t set false expectations and the email information is there anyway…

Hi Tash,

I think it can be a good idea for a product because usually of you have a problem you want an answer now. I would be lost if my web host didn’t have one. I am not sure of the benefits for a service business. Today as many businesses have customers from around the world unless it is manned it might not be an advantage.

Thanks for your comment, Mark.

I agree that a blog is largely there to share our ideas and opinions, usually alongside giving information or entertainment. I’m not so sure it is always easy to write it, but it can be done
