As the modern consumers – and businesses – embrace social media, the opportunities for its usage in customer service also expand significantly. On the other hand, companies who fail to leverage these opportunities or misuse the platform could be left in the dust by the savvy, forward-thinking competitors.
There are lots of compelling reasons why more and more businesses are using social media to enhance their customer service. First is that lets them engage their customers on a more personal level and in a timelier manner. According to the latest statistics from Statista, the daily social media usage of global internet users amounted to 135 minutes per day.
This means that social media is an ideal tool for gathering customers feedback, and more importantly, as a medium to resolve customer concerns. When customer’s issues and concerns are resolved immediately, they will be happier and will feel more connected to the brand because they know they can always get in touch and receive a fast, response-driven answer.
At present, the number of companies integrating social media into their customer service strategy is increasing significantly. In Twitter alone, the number of customer service interactions have increased 250% in the last two years. And as social media platforms continue to roll out innovative engagement features, be prepared to be there waiting, because that’s where your customers will be.
