Social Customer Care for Big Brands

Description

There’s a great opportunity for companies to be the front runners and write the rules in Social Customer Care. A recent American Express® Global Customer Service Barometer study focuses specifically on the impact of social customer care versus traditional customer care. The results: Consumers who have used social media for customer service are willing to spend 10% more for excellent service and will tell, on average, 33 more people about good service compared to their counterparts who haven’t used social media for customer service.
The American Express study points out that 17% of consumers are tweeting their customer service issues. You wouldn’t let a customer phone call go unanswered, yet, according to a Maritz Research study, only 1/3 of customer complaints are being responded to on Twitter. If you were to slash a percentage of your center budget by deflecting calls to social tools, wouldn’t that make business sense?
