Why TAP pop cards outperform chat bots
Pop cards are one of the most effective ways to promote your Feed. Unlike chat bots, which often focus on admin queries, TAP pop cards:
- Highlight ambassador conversations clearly
- Follow the prospect journey across key pages
- Avoid confusion caused by multiple calls to action
- Drive significantly more traffic - up to 6x more in some partner cases
Chat bot vs TAP pop card: What’s the difference?
While chat bots can be useful for answering admin questions, they often compete with TAP pop cards for attention. This can lead to:
- Lower conversion-to-conversation rates
- Confusion from multiple CTAs
- Missed opportunities to connect with ambassadors
“I’m looking to speak to someone about my future studies.”
The University of Adelaide does this well — nearly 10% of their monthly prospects start ambassador chats via their bot.
Our recommendations
