“Create a Virtual Employee and Sell More !” ?
“Imagine if you could speak to every individual that visits your website, answer their questions, communicate key marketing messages and make sure they either make a purchase or leave their contact information. How about if you could offer this level of 24/7 support for less than $10 a month? If it sounds too good to believe, you haven’t heard of SitePal.”
Okay, Arthur is imagining that right now – about whether a virtual employee is a good idea. If that virtual employee could answer every FAQ concisely and in a well-modulated voice with well-enunciated answers, then I would count that as a plus.
It is true that people can respond to machine and recorded voice communications. I am thinking now of computerized counselling programs and telephone voice answering services that are well-planned and effective.
That you need a customizable moving image/cartoon character to anthropomorphically engender trust for engagement and reassurance is even conceivable for many visitors, especially the impaired or immature.

It could be good – but I think I should see some working examples of this product on several sites. Then I can write up a short commentary in WTB for all you internet people out there.

I’ve looked at SitePal before and thought it looked very interesting.
And as we’re about to make changes to one of our ecommerce sites to try to improve conversion rates, we’re considering this as a serious option.
It seems to me that you could use up your allotted streams quite quickly though, even if your traffic isn’t that high.
I suppose that means you have to be careful where on your site you place this feature.
