Chatbot για Μικρές Επιχειρήσεις: Γιατί το Χρειάζεστε και Πώς να Ξεκινήσετε;

Why Do Small Businesses Need a Chatbot?

Today's customers don't want to wait on the phone to ask a question. A business that can't respond to a WhatsApp message sent in the middle of the night is losing customers to a competitor. Chatbots close that gap without the cost of extra staff.

The Most Common Pain Points

• Leaving questions unanswered outside business hours
• Constantly manually answering repetitive questions (price, address, opening hours)
• Slow first contact with potential customers
• Trying to manage multiple channels with one person

Chatbot Cost for a Small Business

1Click Chat Starter starts at €80/month — well below the cost of a part-time employee, with 24/7 uninterrupted service across WhatsApp, Instagram and web widget. In most cases the cost pays for itself within the first two weeks.

Budget Comparison

• Part-time support staff: ~€600-900/mo
• Outsourced customer service: ~€500-800/mo
• 1Click Chat Starter: €80/mo — all channels, unlimited AI conversations
