Responsive Customer Service is Vital even in eCommerce CX
As the eCommerce industry explodes, and an increasing number of new businesses open every year, it’s easy to think of full-service, 360-degree customer care as a problem for brick-and-mortar retailers.
The truth remains, however, that consumer behavior is greatly affected by the attention they receive when they have a concern.
- 90% of consumers consider customer service to be an important factor in their loyalty to a brand
- 58% of consumers won’t hesitate to abandon a brand due to unmet expectations
- 89% of consumers indicated that they’re more likely to make additional purchases following a positive customer service experience
Even in eCommerce, customers expect fast, frictionless, and personalized support across all channels.
Furthermore, your customers expect you to recognize them…
76% of customers expect you to know and understand their unique needs.
…keep track of their account history across touchpoints…
In fact, an equal percentage expects to experience consistent interactions across different departments in the same company.
…and respond to their concerns swiftly and efficiently.
A solid 90% of customers expect an “immediate” response to a customer service question.
How to Deliver an Exceptional E-Commerce Customer Experience
On average, 50% of all annual e-commerce shopping volume occurs in the fourth quarter, so merchants must be prepared for a higher magnitude of support inquiries as shoppers go online this holiday season. Unfortunately, staying up to date on customer interactions across a wide range of channels can consume time and resources.
If your eCommerce business doesn’t have the proper tools for hearing, understanding, and supporting your customers, then you’ll see slower response times and frustrated clients.
