I have been doing eBay since 1995 and have used a ton of different tools to aid in selling. Honestly, very few have had much of an impact on my sales statistics. That said however, as the competition on eBay has increased I feel that anything that has a classy look to it can only help to distinguish you in the minds of buyers. Your product is one of the most innovative and distinctive products I have ever used. I saw an increase in sales to the tune of 5% to 7% overall while using your product. It's absolutely awesome!

SitePal has given us a valuable link to our customers. We understand and serve customer needs better now that we are much more interactive with them. Our bot's Artificial Intelligence (AI) is very easy to edit and deploy through the AI Management Center (AIMC). Our virtual character has learned to intelligently respond to our users. It is a simple task to train our character with keywords and concepts our customers may key in. As we see and interpret new client input we develop and tune his Knowledge Base further and further to react to it. SitePal has greatly improved the quality of our site and drawn much attention and traffic to it. We love our virtual character, come meet him, his name is Trajecto. Thanks for a great product SitePal!

McAfee speaks to its customers, boosts sales with animated 'avatar'. McAfee Inc., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based provider of security software, faced a challenge marketing one of its b-to-b products, ASaP VirusScan. Looking to give customers more information without making the site too text-heavy, McAfee chose Flash-based technology from Oddcast Inc., a company that designs animated virtual characters, or "VHosts."Potential customers listened to the avatar's audio message 81% of the time, Gavlak said. As a result, the average close rate for customers who saw the Flash-based avatar was 10% higher than for those who didn't. In fact, average daily sales went up by 10% during the time the avatar was deployed on the product site.

Put a Human Face and Voice On Your Web Site!! There's so many ways to get one's attention online - streaming video, sounds, blinking graphics and etc. But nothing gets someone's attention more than a "talking head". Someone actually talking to you. Oddcast makes animated avatars or SitePals that one can place in a web site. These talking heads add LIFE to a web site and definitely grab attention

Unless you can engage your site visitor, he or she may be gone within a few seconds and never find out what you have to offer. I've been experimenting with SitePal's speaking animated characters or avatars and have seen some impressive preliminary results. My goal was to use SitePal to get the visitor to read what's on the webpage. Here's what I've found so far, doing an A/B split-test employing Vertster Split-Testing System and comparing results using ClickTracks web analytics software, both of which I really like! I used an 18 second message. Average Time on Site 313 sec. (without SitePal) 417 sec. (with SitePal) +33% (Difference) Page Views per Visitor 4.8 pages (without SitePal) 5.6 pages (with SitePal) +17% (Difference) SitePal can be programmed to speak a different message each time the webpage is loaded, so you can say one thing to first-timers and another to returnees who may be more serious about your offer. SitePal characters can also respond to visitor questions using a knowledge base and artificial intelligence techniques. If you use geo-targeting, messages can be varied by geographical location of the visitor. This tool provides a number of possibilities to personalize your visitor's experience.
