You probably already know that good customer care on social media is crucial to any business. It can boost your brand and drive business value. 

Why does customer service matter? 

It is a competitive selling point. By 2020, customer experience had already become the key brand differentiator – more important than product or price. Over two-thirds of surveyed marketing professionals today state that their company is currently competing on the basis of customer service. 

Yet, this knowledge rarely translates into action: 80% of companies claim to deliver service that is ”superior” – yet, when customers are asked, only 8% agree that these (same) companies deliver on that promise!

 


Data proves that great customer care is an investment in your long-term profitability. In this guide, we will show you why this is especially true for social media - and how to excel at it.
