Also give them an option to disengage if they are not willing to open it. In this way they will not refrain to come back to your site and there is always a second chance. If it’s irresistible and something they are looking for then you are good to go!

6. Comment Section/Chat bots increase engagements on interactive websites

Chat bots allow you to give quick responses on customer queries, just like banking sites, travel sites etc. are doing, reducing the hassle for customer to call any of your customer services.
