- Social is empowering. Social media is empowering for the consumer, and puts them in a position where their voice matters.
- Social works where all else fails. When issues don’t get solved through call centers or emails, customers get more frustrated, and they turn to social media to try and get an effective response.
- Social is convenient. The popularity of smartphones has helped to keep everyone connected to their Facebook and Twitter accounts at all times.
- Social is real-time. When customers write to a company on social media, they are expecting a quick response.
- Social is social. Your customers want the support of their peers – visibility isn’t just a by-product, it’s the point.
