This week I moderated another Social Media Today webinar as part of their Best Thinker webinar series, this time on the topic of: Prioritizing the Customer Experience in Social Media. This webinar was sponsored by LiveWorld and featured; Chris Horton (@chrshorton) Digital Strategist at Synecore, Adam Naide (@adamnaide) Executive Director of Marketing and Social Media at Cox Communications, and Jason Kapler (@jasonkapler) VP Marketing at LiveWorld. We discussed the new realities of the customer experience in 2015.
Here are 3 of the key takeaways:
- 26% of Companies have a strategy to improve the customer experience - which is in contrast to the 89% of companies believe the customer experience will be their primary basis for competition by 2016.
- Net Promoter Scores are better when you are connected via Facebook - Customers that are fans of Cox on Facebook have a significantly higher Net Promoter Score (NPS) the average.
- Don't Silo Your Social Media - Social media enables the ability to collaborate in new ways which is particularly important for businesses interested in engaging more with their customers.
