LIVECHANT

We are now introducing Digital Displays that are interactive and where info at the display is also searchable at livechant.com. We are combining the power of local search with digital displays and bringing in the real time interactivity with the screens. Merchants can PUSH their information anytime and consumers can interact and get exclusive live offers directly from merchant.

We did a live demonstration about how merchants and consumers can interact with the On-Screen-Displays (iOSD). These iOSDs are slated to be installed at consenting malls and big format stores in Bangalore in the coming months. Visitors’ interaction with iOSDs will win them exclusive offers directly from the participating store, just like it was done in the event.

Hello,

At LiveChant we are happy to announce that we are bringing the concept of combining the power of local search with digital displays. We are tying up with various malls/apartments/events (any high footfall areas) in Bangalore to place our LCD displays. As a premium merchant, you can choose the place and duration of display, make the payment and can go live instantaneously @ your chosen display. Isn't it amazing ?

       Advantages of LiveChant On Screen Display (OSD)

OSDs enable businesses to reach out to consumers through LCD/LED in malls/events/any high footfalls areas. Now @LiveChant, you choose your location, time and duration of display, pay and go live in your chosen screen instantaneously. Be your boss in deciding when your message should be displayed and for how many days. Not month or weeks! You can decide to go live on the very day. Minimum unit for Ad display is not in terms of months or weeks but, it can even be a single day. You need not spend time in preparing content, as the concept here is to flash your important message; you need to have a supporting image of your store/concept and just say your pitch in 160 letters or less, and voila, “You are Ready to Go Live!”.

Biggest advantage is your message becomes searchable at http://livechant.com. At LiveChant the information is never lost. It’ll always be searchable at our website. So even after the display is over, your message remains searchable at livechant.com.

If you have multiple showrooms and you have plenty of communications to make every day, it can also be used as on-premise display within your all outlets. So whenever you send a message @ LiveChant, it will be pushed to all your displays in real time. So, even before customers visit your mall, they can come to know about it when they search at LiveChant.

Consumer : How can we find all the messages from merchants in Bangalore ?

There is something about the Merchants around you.

What is so special about those merchants ?

Today, sitting in the corner of the room, you deal with many things; from buying a car to shopping for a dress for your girlfriend. That's how simple, life has become. Practically, available on your fingertip.

Out of exaggeration, one can say "world can be bought online today" such is the scenario. Still there are loads of unique stuffs or services around us, which are very backbreaking to make out and get them.

Assume, on your first date, your girlfriend wishes to have Ooty homemade chocolates, which you have never heard of this and you do not know where to get it. Neither you can deny it nor can you find it. You are in such a dilemma that you cannot express it to your lovely girlfriend. If you deny, she may be miffed.

Getting Ooty chocolate in Bangalore....! Your head is over heels now. You endeavor to enquire few shops but all go in vain. You try to Google but that too turn foil. These kinds of chocolates are not available in every alternate shop. Moreover, these chocolate vendors do not tout or advertise much as other routine chocolates.

At this point of time, one question definitely pop ups, is there any mechanism or any site that tells you how you can find such unique stuff. On the other hand, is there a way to know genuine merchants, vendors, or service providers who really meet your needs or you can order to them?

Yes, this is the need of the hour. Getting regular stuff is easy but getting unique stuffs for unique folks is yet to be answered. Eventually, the answer to this question has descended. Moreover, that is I Need feature from a local search mechanism www.livechant.com. I need helps you to find such unique services or stuffs.

This pilot launch from livechant.com is correct and contextual local search machine. This is the destination where you get perfect information on everything you need. This feature of Livechant directs you to right place at right time.

It is never easy to talk to someone who gives deaf ear to what you say. It is also not a pleasing experience when you are searching for an offer at LiveChant and you do not get what you are looking for.

We realized that and we came up with this feature, "I need". For example, you are looking out for sports gear/apparel offer and you do not find an appropriate offer/news on that category, "I need" can be very handy in such cases. Just say what your looking for and we'll share this with all the relevant merchants around that area. Now they will also compete to give you the best offer. Good merchants will never disappoint you. Now you know which outlets to visit next time you need something.

OR,

No Money from LiveChant users.

It's a lot of hassles to pay money to grab an offer. We made sure that you do not have to pay any sum in advance to use it.

For instance, while on a shopping spree in one of those huge malls, I just walked in one of the stores and bought some clothes, accessories, footwear and was really excited, but the excitement didn't last long as I walked out of the same store, from the other door I saw someone else (equally good)  offering real good deals, but then I had exhausted all my allowances for the week and couldn't help but go back with half the things I could have otherwise bought... But if something like LIVECHANT existed in reality i would have got a glimpse on the info of the Offers going on huge malls with multiple fashion stores and could have saved half of my allowances and could have utilised the same for some more shopping.....

How is it different ??

Remember the days when we used to search for phone numbers in the telephone directories ? Remember how we used to find details from Yellow pages ? well, they have had their golden days.

In the internet age, the next step forward was online listing and yes, it's serving it's purpose, but consumers want more.

Consumers' behavior has been changing over time and today they want up-to-date live information for everything and it's not easy for merchants to do it effectively without spending time, effort and big money. It's time to think beyond listing alone, but, it's not easy.

This is what we at LiveChant have realized and we are making an attempt to solve this. We give merchants a platform to go beyond listing and provide their updates on real time. Not only that, it gives a platform where users can engage with merchants by sharing their views, remarks. They can also Up-Vote a live message. On top of that, merchants can opt for generating coupon and customers can bring those coupons to get exclusive offers. No middleman, no big money, no big effort and you get the ability to reach to your consumers, simply directly and head-on.

This platform allows you to send effective short messages. No need to write stories of what you are offering. It could be as simple as, "We provide premium aromatic Basmati Rice at the price of Sona Masuri Rice. This exclusively for LiveChant customers.". Send your updates, all within 160 characters. That's it.

We also realize that most merchants may not have time or infrastructure to be on the internet all the time. So we give them a flexibility to send their updates through SMS and we make it readily available in the system.

So, now, it does not matter whether you are tech-savvy or not, still you get the power to think beyond listing. Don't let your customers find only your address, let them find what great stuff you are offering now. In today's world it's absolutely must to reach your customers fast and effectively to be successful in the marketplace.

One more thing, there are no commitment required from your side to avail all these services. We do not charge any annual fees. We also give you to use and test the system for one month for free. In the subsequent months, you pay as you go. We charge for every updates that you send and the price is shamefully low. Please check out our rate plan for pricing slab.

In terms of new offerings, this is not the end from LiveChant. We are innovating and trying hard everyday to enrich the platform and to help you better. So do expect more.

change is the only constant. We'll be changing; for better.
