Customer Service Is Much More Important For A business

In the highly disloyal and competitive business marketplace of today, visibility is no longer the most important aspect of a marketing campaign. Customer retention, or customer loyalty, is much more important for a business when it comes to longevity. Most marketers today are much more likely to tell you as a business owner to focus on a niche market and keeping them happy rather than going for a “wide net” strategy. Although it is possible to reach many millions of people with the social media tools of today, it is not an effective strategy at all.

In order to get the kind of loyalty that will allow business to sustain itself, a business must have a great deal of customer service on hand and ready to correct mistakes. The social media of online marketing works both ways: If a business does not handle the mistakes that it makes, taste makers within an industry can easily go on review sites and trash a business so that no one else will ever patronize it. If this happens, a business can lose customers that it did not even know that it was losing.

The best thing to do is to provide customers with 24 hour a day, seven day a week a service both on and off-line. With the technology of today, this is a much less expensive proposition than it was in previous business generations.
