Summary

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 Tractor Supply Company’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 customers ask for help choosing a product, agents take the opportunity to recommend Tractor Supply Co.’s private label brand, 4Health. It’s a good example of how retailers can use chat for both customer service and marketing purposes.
