After nine months of offering Live Chat to our advertisers, we found that those who were online (signed into chat) at least 30% of the time that renters visited their listing on Apartments.com, saw an increase of 17% in their conversations with renters. Makes sense, right? What better way to reward them than with a new iPad 2! During the month of March, we held a drawing for those advertisers who had activated Live Chat by February 1st, and were available at least 30% of the time renters visited their listing on Apartments.com. Three winners were chosen at random to receive a new iPad 2!
Apartments.com continues to expand its Live Chat users with ContactAtOnce!, and we just made it easier to stay connected with renters! The companies that won (and anyone else setup with Live Chat, actually) can chat on the go with prospects using the new chat app from ContactAtOnce! for iPhone and iPad. Live Chat on Apartments.com is a real time interaction, with a real person…bringing you real results! Congratulations to our winners, and if you’ve downloaded the Live Chat app, let us know what you think in the comments!
