Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 3, 2011
MailChimp, the leading email technology platform, today announced the launch of LongReply, a new application designed to simplify the management of customer communications via Twitter. The application is in beta release at: longreply.com.
“LongReply really grew out of our own needs here at MailChimp,” commented Ben Chestnut, MailChimp CEO. We saw an explosion in the number of comments made by subscribers on Twitter and needed a better way to track and respond. With LongReply were no longer limited to 140 characters in our responses, greatly improving the quality of discussion we have with our subscribers. And with sentiment analysis we can quickly identify customer service issues requiring immediate attention. Before LongReply, we had to constantly track all tweets 24/7. Now we set up hourly alerts that pinpoint tweets requiring followup.
LongReply supports multiple users within a single account and also allows for multiple twitter handles to be managed within the same account.
Twitter has rapidly morphed into a customer service platform, commented Ben Chestnut, MailChimp CEO. Social-savvy subscribers now often start their question first on Twitter, because they know theyll get a human. Rather than force them into our customer service channels, weve adjusted our approach to communicate with them in their medium of choice. LongReply helps your brand look more human.
LongReplys sentiment analysis also provides a convenient way to track feedback on a specific subject.
