Virtual Person™ Releases the "Chat Banner": New Solution Uses Virtual Sales Representative on Banner Ad Platforms

Online, March 7, 2012 (Newswire.com) - High-Tech Company, Virtual Person™, known for their advanced AI virtual chat solutions for sales, support and lead generation services have ventured into the world of online advertising and marketing with their newly released, fully automated, Chat Banner.

Banner advertising has become a mainstay of online advertising, but consumers are becoming more immune to the banner ads they see every day. In response advertisers and networks are constantly trying to develop new banners, using flash images and sound, to draw the attention of site visitors.

Instead of flash images and sound, Virtual Person's new Chat Banner utilizes ad space for an interactive two-way advertising platform. The Chat Banner invites visitors to chat and engage in conversation with a "virtual sales representative."

According to Tomer Sasson, Founder and CEO of Virtual Person, "...site visitors have developed a 'blindness' to banner ads , but with the Chat Banner, Virtual Person has developed another layer of banner advertising- one that considers the end-user as a partner in dialogue and focuses on consumer engagement." Sasson continues to explain that in his opinion "interactive banners that focus on customer engagement will produce better results than previous ads and will deliver better eCPM values."

The Chat Banner allows companies to engage in direct sales conversations with potential visitors and receive customer feedback. Utilizing the already successful and popular sales solution from Virtual Person and the Chat Banner pulls from an extensive content database, which is continuously optimized, in order to answer customer inquiries about a brand, product or company.

The Chat Banner is embedded in banner ad spaces as a chat and includes:
