And if you care for good customer experience, then you cannot afford to undermine the importance of customer service. According to a study by Hubspot[2], 93% of customers are likely to make repeat purchases with companies who offer excellent customer service.



Customer service is always going to be a crucial aspect of customer experience. But in the digital age, it is also lot more visible to everyone.

Consumers have started taking their customer service inquiries online, including offline retail customers. For someone who made a purchase through an online channel, chances of her engaging online for post-purchase sales are high. For retail store customers, social media is a quicker way, although it’s likely that they might do it publicly.

Hence from online reviews to customer complaints and issues, everything is easier to find on social media than ever before.

And this customer experience feedback is not sitting isolated on social platforms. Everyone is so connected on social media. That makes a perfect case for brands to use social media as a customer service tool. In fact, many brands have developed significantly more active social accounts, all for the sake of interacting with the massive user base spread across social media channels.



One of the common social media mistakes which businesses overlook is that they ignore comments. Even brands with dedicated resources sometimes overlook such an important aspect of brand experience.
