Even the most attentive consumer care teams have occasional challenges with customer satisfaction (cSat). There will always be certain circumstances where customers are disappointed, concerned, or even angry.
Turning that emotion around during a brief interaction is a tall order – even tougher when you are interacting with the customer in a channel that feels less personal, like email. The key to improving cSat on these types of interactions is to make email responses feel more personal — and seize the opportunity to truly connect with the customer — in a way that has a real and lasting impact.
The Power of Video Email
We’ve found that utilizing video email in these circumstances has a tremendous impact on customer satisfaction. Sending a video in place of a standard text-only email response to a consumer complaint or inquiry provides a visual interaction, and helps create that all-important emotional connection with the recipient. And it allows for a clear, personalized response.
The Wow Factor: Surprise + Delight Your Consumers
Creating personalized videos for customer email responses is an extremely effective way to “Surprise and Delight” your customer that may have a critical inquiry.
And it’s well worth the effort. We’ve seen a dramatic 29% improvement in cSat scores over the first 6 months of implementing video email.
