Zendesk was founded in 2007 and is considered a Software as a Service (SaaS) company.
Introduction to omnichannel customer support
You likely interact with omnichannel customer support, also referred to as omnichannel marketing, regularly in your daily life. If you have contacted a brand or company with a question or concern, you probably have multiple ways to communicate, including email, phone, knowledge base, and live chat.
Omnichannel marketing creates a seamless customer experience across all channels. This marketing strategy integrates customer interactions, such as social media messages, texts, phone calls, and emails into a central workflow for rapid and documented customer service response. Omnichannel marketing facilitates all departments working together to promote your products or services creating loyal customers in the process.
One of the most well-known and oft-used omnichannel products is Zendesk. In this page, we’ll tell you about the benefits of using Zendesk for omnichannel marketing and how it can help your organization, marketing effort, and customer engagement.
