It is therefore of no surprise to me to see this recent post by CustomerThink.com, that shows Zappos at the top for customer service:
1. Zappos
2. Expedia
3. Apple (Computers)
4. Acer /Samsung
5. Kindle
6. Discover/ American Express
7. Apple (Smartphones)
8. Fed Ex
9. McDonald’s
10. HP/ Samsung
How do they come top?
Simple...they focus on delighting consumers. They ensure they whole organisation understands the focus by publishing, training and living their core values.
All marketers should take note as winning in marketing in this day and age is not about creating great advertising (although that is important). It is about delivering an overall brand experience that delight. A great customer service is integral to that goal.
