A threadđŸ§”for businesses looking for tools and techniques that will give you an extra edge. đŸ€“

This time last week, we published our list of the best website engagement tools for winning customer attention

From analytics and engagement tools to customer service and social media tools, we covered it all.

And we included our favourite examples too.
But while we’re pretty happy with the blog itself, we thought we’d give these tools and businesses a little shout-out on Twitter too. Because sharing is caring.

So here it is, a list of our favourite tools for winning customer attention! 🎉
Landing page builders: an underrated tool that can help you capture attention, funnel customers, and incite action.

Our favourite is @kickofflabs - a great tool for hosting competitions and giveaways, and much more.
Next up, content discovery tools - software that enables you to analyse current trends to make sure your #marketing output is up to date.

Our favourite is @ContentStudioio, which will allow you to discover, plan, and publish new content topics with ease.
Push notifications: a tool to keep your customers up to date with offers, news, and deals.

They’re especially effective for mobile devices and we think @onesignal is especially effective at offering them, as well as much more!
Next up, exit intent overlays: a pop-up tool that can attract email sign-ups, offer deals, and banish cart abandonment.

For a great tool that can offer overlays and so much more, @optinmonster is our number one choice.
Like overlays, smart bars are a great tool for conversion optimization.

For a great example, check out Sitekit. It allows you to create fantastic smart bars and pop-ups for free, with many more advanced features available too! https://getsitekit.com/ 
One of the most simple yet effective tools you can use for engaging customers and gathering valuable feedback are online survey tools.

Our favourite example of this kind is @SmartSurvey - with a free basic package available, creating valuable interactive content is a breeze.
That’s all for now!

Stay tuned for next time, when we’ll be covering more website engagement tools that’ll help win your business maximum exposure and engagement.đŸ€“
Okay, where were we?

Ah yes, our list of the tools and techniques you can use to engage your customers online. đŸ€“

Next up, analytics...
Analytic software is one of the most useful website engagement tools to have in your arsenal.

And there’s obviously some very big names when it comes to these kinds of tools

That said, for a great option for SaaS companies, check out @mixpanel to examine real time insights from customers using your product.
When it comes to measuring the effectiveness of customer engagement rates, A/B testing software is another must have.

To run smarter tests on your website @Convertize is a great choice. Alongside it’s A/B testing capabilities, it offers some excellent user experience tools too!
User recording is another fantastic way to analyse the actions that customers take on your website.

The best example of this kind of tool is @hotjar - alongside user recording, it also offers feedback tools and heatmaps. What’s not to love?
That’s all for today folks!

Stay tuned though - tomorrow we’ll be looking at one of the most important factors of your business: #CustomerService.
And we’re back, looking at the best website engagement tools for you and your business.

Next up, let’s look at #customerservice.
Customer service is a hugely important factor in providing fantastic #CX. And we’d be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t mention Talkative here.

But instead of giving you the hard sell, here’s a few helpful resources instead...
Let’s get started with #chatbots. They’ve come a long way since their early days.

Now available as AI virtual agents, these website engagement tools are a low cost way to offer lightning fast answers to common customer service queries.
Take a look at these ecommerce chatbot examples to see how you can provide a customer service tool that’s as entertaining as it is helpful:

Next up, #LiveChat chat.

At a customer satisfaction rate of 73%, research shows that live web chat is the most popular customer service channel by far.
Other than being an efficient channel for fast problem-solving, one reason live chat is becoming even more popular is because of its multilingual translation capabilities.

It means even the smallest of businesses can speak with a worldwide audience.
So how do you make sure you're using the best option for you?

#VideoChat is another website engagement tool that has seen a huge surge in popularity.

Since last year, the use of video chat for customer service has skyrocketed by 70%!
To figure out how you can get the most of this tool, check out our resource on how to offer video chat for customer service: https://gettalkative.com/info/video-chat-for-customer-service
And if you’re wondering about the debate between live video chat vs scheduled video chat, read more here: https://gettalkative.com/info/advantages-of-video-customer-support
But enough about us - because video chat isn’t the only video tool you can use to engage your customers - video marketing tools are also incredibly effective...

In fact, 84% of customers said that they’d been convinced to buy a product after watching a brand’s video.
So if you want to give #VideoMarketing a try, check out @renderforestcom for toolkits. They'll help you create professional videos that’ll win maximum customer attention.

Welcome back to our round up of the best tools and techniques to boost your #CX and customer engagement! đŸ€“

But there are other video tools you can use to win maximum attention...
For instance, animated explainer videos are another great way to teach your customers about your products via video.

Next up on our list of the best website engagement tools, we’ll be looking at social media.

First up, there’s the almighty @buffer - a great choice for scheduling posts on a variety of platforms.
That said, @LoomlySocial is another great example for social media scheduling.

Not only can you schedule your social content, but it’ll also keep you up to date on the latest trends. It’ll make sure you never run out of inspiration.
Social listening tools are another must have if you wanted to take your social media output to the next level.

By enabling you to ‘listen’ out for social media mentions of your brand, tools like @Crowdfire can help you respond quickly, keeping your customer engagement on point.
That's it for today folks - thanks for reading! We’re nearly there. Check back in tomorrow for the final leg of this mammoth thread!
And we’re back!

For this last roundup of the best tools and techniques to improve your #CustomerExperience, we’ll be taking a look at engagement tools that can help you attract previous customers via retargeting and remarketing

For example, when it comes to winning customer attention, email is still one of the most powerful tools on offer.

In fact, research shows that it’s up to 40 times more social media for engagement.
While there are many well-known email marketing tools at your disposal, @Omnisend is one of the best free options available.
Another website engagement tool that is particularly useful for #ecommerce is retargeting ad campaigns.

Only 2% of online traffic leads to a first-time conversion. Snag the other 98% with a great tool like @ReTargeter.
And last but not least - with an opening rate of 98% and a response rate of 45% - SMS marketing tools have a serious impact on attracting customer attention.

Our favourite example is @SimpleTexting, which can help you connect with your customers with ease.
So there we have it! Our list of website engagement tools that’ll help you win customer attention! Phew
