How and why to boost customer satisfaction online
Social media platforms have offered people a way to complain about experiences that don’t meet their expectations, but you can use it as an opportunity to make things right.
Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest and Twitter have enabled brand managers to reach billions of consumers.
Though social media has provided engagement opportunities, platforms have also become an avenue for people to complain about customer experiences.
Consumers prefer social media for customer service over any other medium (34.5 percent), and 90 percent say they use social media to communicate directly with brands.
