RightNow CX February 2011 with Intent Guide Gives Brands a New Way to Engage with Consumers Online
BOZEMAN, Mont. (February 23, 2011) – RightNow (NASDAQ:RNOW) today announced the availability of RightNow CX February 2011, which features RightNow CX Intent Guide with Natural Language Search. Taking exceptional customer experiences from the support page to the home page, RightNow CX Intent Guide helps marketers transform website search interactions into powerful marketing opportunities, resulting in improved brand experiences, increased online conversions and higher sales.
“Every time a consumer searches on a brand’s website, it’s an opportunity to shape the experience, build the brand and influence a purchasing decision. Marketers who aren’t paying close attention to these interactions are missing prime opportunities, potentially damaging their brand and losing revenue.”
Adam Sarner, research director, Gartner
RightNow CX Intent Guide Increases Website Conversions and Sales
RightNow CX Intent Guide uses advanced natural language search technology with industry-specific dictionaries and intent matching capabilities to capture and interpret customer intent. It understands exactly what website visitors are looking for and immediately delivers high-value, relevant content. Once the consumer has been guided to their intended action or answer, Intent Guide can make real-time, contextually-relevant offers to further improve sales. RightNow CX Intent Guide is able to do all of this through four types of interaction overlays:
- Question Matching enhances existing website search and navigation by understanding a consumer’s intent and leading them to the relevant content. For example, consumers searching for “check my cash” and “cash my check” use similar words, but have different intents. Question Matching ensures consumers get exactly what they want, as quickly and easily as possible.
- Virtual Assistant further enhances consumers’ search interactions by providing a personal, natural conversation interface tailored to an organization’s brand. This helps drive conversions while also reducing live assistance costs.
- Web Form Assistant decreases online form abandonment by proactively helping consumers to complete forms using previously captured visitor information.
- Contextual Online Offers delivers real-time, relevant offers based on the context of a page or the user’s intent, dramatically increasing conversion rates to drive sales.
In addition, RightNow CX Intent Guide gives marketers deep insights into consumer behavior and intent, allowing them to detect buying patterns, improve targeting and segmentation, and more accurately tailor online engagements.
