Live Chat May Not be Good for Your Business

I know, I know…I can hear your comments now: “What’s this guy up to? Doesn’t he realize that talking like this is just biting the hand that feeds him?” I thought about that. But after some thought I realized that as good as live chat is, no matter how much live chat improves the branding of  a company, or the great loyalty live chat instills in a customer there are businesses that shouldn’t use it.

In my wanderings around chat rooms on the Internet, I came across a few businesses that had a bad experience or two with live chat services. I will leave it up to you to decide the truth of these complaints. Well, maybe not entirely, I’m sure I will have to throw my two cents in along the way.

What if found was some comments on a forum called Site Referenced with this question as its topic:”Live chat services: do we love ‘em or hate ‘em?” Although a bit dated the responses are still topical today.

Here is a brief summary of the original question: I have a Live Chat service on my site, but my customers rarely use it.

What are your experiences? If the shopper doesn’t need to use the live chat function, is there any value in just knowing it’s available?

The responses were interesting. For example: “I think yes, subconsciously visitors like the notion that they could reach someone if it was necessary. That it might help with barriers to trusting the site enough to buy stuff.” True (Jim)

There you are, in black and white; “…if you aren’t going to use live chat, don’t bother having it.

”  Or this: “We have live chat and we use it a lot.  And its easy to put on all the pages too.We get a lot of use out of ours because we’ve got 2-3 people in there all morning and as many as 10-15 sometimes at night.  But the thing is that if there is not anyone in the chat room then it’s a waste – people go inside and find it empty and then they leave.  But the thing is that once you get 50-60 regular chatters where you know everyone by first name, where they live, how many kids they have, what they do, etc… in other words when you’ve got a lot of friends in the chat room its totally cool.”

(me again) This is exactly what I was driving at with my title for this blog. I have gone to web sites offering live chat only to discover that when you call in nobody is home. For me, this is more agitating then going to a site without live chat.

Bottom line, if you are going to use live chat and do not have someone available to interact with the customer sends a very negative message to the customer.

Data Logger – Data Storage Devices

Posted by at 29 April 2009

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A data logger is basically any device that is used for the storage of data. Many are stand alone units that can be used in conjunction with the features of other test equipment like sensors or a humidity sensor as part of a Calibration service. The device stores the information from the external units that read in info and then a user can read that info from the logger or download it directly to a network or computer.

Because the logger unit works on its own, it offers many advantages. They are cheaper than larger computers and perform only one purpose, while being able to connect to any other sensor type equipment. This makes it ideal for leaving it in an off site location for the purpose of collecting data for analysis at a later date.

There are a number of different features that should be considered when deciding upon which logger unit to acquire. First, keep in mind what the unit will be used for, in other words, what is the purpose of the logger? This will determine how many inputs that you will need.

The amount of inputs will also determine the price of the unit that you will need to purchase. Also, consider the amount of storage that will be needed. Will this be a long term project that requires a year more amounts of information or will this be used for short run tests that do not require a large amount of storage?

How many tests will be run per hour is also another concern when deciding which logging unit to get. If you need it to store a number of tests, say, over 3000 an hour, then you will need one with a larger amount of memory. This will also raise the price of the item that one will need.

Regardless of the purpose, you should purchase one that is flexible and can store a lot of test info. When will you need to access the info? Because the unit does not have to be connected to a computer, it makes it highly functional for portability. However, if you need constant access to the information from a remote location, then you will need to have it attached to a laptop or computer with network or internet capability.

There are a number of factors to consider before making your purchase. If you find that you have purchased one that will not serve your needs, you can either have it upgraded or return it and select a higher grade model. The ability to return the unit may differ from vendor to vendor. Make sure to contact your vendor to determine the eligibility for return.

A data logger is an invaluable piece of equipment in testing. With so many units available, it is important to know which one will best suit your specific needs. Make sure to get one that performs all of the data storage functions that will be required. Also make sure that your testing equipment is totally compatible with the info storage unit that you select to serve your purposes.

So you’re going to purchase rattan garden furniture. That’s a wise choice since the furniture is beautiful and well-constructed but once you’ve made that decision your next is to decide what types of pieces you want in your outdoor area. Almost everything you could imagine is available. It’s just a matter of considering some key factors.

Purpose of Outdoor Area

While most people only think about the purpose of their , the real purpose you need to think about is for your outdoor area. After all, the furniture is only there to help you accomplish that purpose.

Let’s say your outdoor area is designed as a place for you to relax and unwind. In that case, you might want to invest in a lounge chair and possibly a matching side table. You don’t need a lot of pieces but the ones you chose should be very comfortable.

On the other hand, if your outdoor area is mostly for entertaining, you’ll probably want bigger sets that can seat a lot of guests.

Children and Patio Furniture

Another factor in picking pieces may be your children. If you don’t have little ones running around your outdoor area, this won’t be an issue. If you do, make sure to pick pieces that are sturdy and low to the ground so if they climb up on them while playing they won’t hurt themselves if they fall off accidentally.

Your Outdoor Needs

Also, look around your existing garden design and decide what’s missing. Do you need more flat surfaces where you or guests can sit drinks or food? Do you need a table so everyone can eat together? Do you want more traditional seating that may not be quite as comfortable as a lounger but might make a nice place to have your morning tea or coffee? Thinking about these issues is a good way to decide what you need.
