Parature Releases Free White Paper on the Impact of Social Media in Customer Service
White Paper Explores Social Media and Its Effect on Customer Service and the Customer Experience
Vienna, VA (September 16, 2009) –
Parature, a global leader in on-demand customer service software, announced today the release of a free white paper offering customer service and support professionals insight into the influence of social media on customer service and the customer experience. The white paper entitled “The Impact of Social Media on Customer Service and the Customer Experience” is available for download in Parature’s white paper library.
Customer conversations, whether positive or negative, are important to any business and listening to these conversations has never been easier thanks to social media. Customers, today, share information with their providers like never before; they recommend brands, provide usage tips, share content, and praise or criticize customer service. This provides a unique opportunity for organizations to improve their products, services and customer experiences by leveraging these social platforms to monitor the chatter taking place there and gaining unprecedented insight into their customers’ emotion and behavior. Research shows that every demographic has taken to the Web and the number of people using social media continues to grow exponentially. The Impact of Social Media on Customer Service and the Customer Experience explores the importance of incorporating social media into multi-channel customer service strategies. Social media technologies enable businesses to build a place their customers want to visit, and by becoming the best source of knowledge for their own products and services, businesses have more opportunities to further impress their customers, increase satisfaction and improve loyalty.
