The retail industry is fast moving away from a brick and mortar focused approach, to focusing their efforts entirely on the digital storefront. This means that customers are shopping online at anytime and anywhere at their convenience, and customer service will have to shift from being available only during office hours, to providing a seamless digital customer service and engagement experience.
To do so, companies will have to adopt the right digital services that enables them to build deeper relationships and engagements with customers through a remote work and living environment. Instead of putting up store banners, retailers can send messages updating customers on the latest promotions. Retailers can also do more with digital communications, such as reminding customers on upcoming appointments, updating delivery dates, or sharing any changes in store opening hours.
A holistic communications ecosystem to integrate customer engagement throughout the digital landscape will push customer service to the next level.
