Conversocial Releases Twitter Customer Service Performance Report of California Retailers
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- Conversocial, the leading social customer service platform, released the Twitter Customer Service Performance Report of California Retailers last night. Conversocial’s previous report focused on 100 top internet retailers nationally.
The California report used a star rating system similar to that of the previous report, basing its ratings on factors such as response time, responsiveness to customers, use of social media management systems, and whether companies were resolving issues in-channel or redirecting customers to email or phone.
California retailers received an average of 2.05 stars out of a possible 5, compared to 2.13 in the previous report. No retailers received 5 stars in California. In fact, the only companies to receive 4 or more stars were Chegg and NatureBox.
While all of the brands in the most recent report were responding to customer Tweets in some capacity, only 18.67% were resolving real issues through Twitter. This is a low number, especially when compared to the 50% of companies that were resolving issues this way, according to the Social Customer Service Performance Report of 100 Top Internet Retailers. The rest of the California retailers were only answering simple FAQ questions but not resolving more detailed customer queries and/or directing customers to other channels.
“Consumer expectations are changing and an increasing number of companies are starting to deliver real, fast social service. In this new situation, social customer service has rapidly become fundamental to customer satisfaction,” says Conversocial CEO Joshua March. “Social customer service is public by nature. Brands can’t afford to ignore it.”
The average response time across all companies - 11 hours 10 minutes - was also much slower than most customers expect (42% of consumers complaining via social media expect a response within 60 minutes).
Conversocial plans to continue its Social Customer Service Benchmark Reports and invites interested companies to contact them for a personalized report.
