Text-Based Chat Best Practices: Aldi’s Customer Service Features

Retailers and brands must deliver experiences that are efficient, effective, and effortless for the customer. This piece is part of a series showcasing best-in-class examples of conversational interfaces; it focuses on Aldi’s customer service features. According to the Forrester Analytics Consumer Technographics® US Retail Recontact Survey, 2020, 42% of US online adults said it was important for retailers to offer live online chat on their website, up from 27% in 2019. When the customer asks an agent about product availability, Aldi provides the exact number of items available at a given store instead of simply stating whether the item is in stock or not.
