MANAGING EXPECTATIONS
Customers are demanding, when it comes to fulfilment. The cause of most contention can be allayed by brands having clear delivery and return policies.
Managing expectations contributes a huge amount to overall customer satisfaction. Communicating delivery and returns throughout the user journey is a process that continually needs fine-tuning.
From product discovery to purchase through to delivery and returns, it’s important to demonstrate timing expectations and methods clearly, and communicate progress, not only to lift conversion and customer satisfaction, but also reduce costs associated with handling customer enquiries.
COMMUNICATING DELIVERY AND RETURNS THROUGHOUT THE USER JOURNEY
Claire Muir, Commercial Director at Seko Logistics, has worked with hundreds of brands to hone the warehousing and fulfilment functions of their e-commerce businesses.
