THE CHALLENGE
To provide a distinct level of customer service in a highly competitive retail Landscape while keeping business costs Low
Being in a retail landscape where competition is fierce and customers can be fickle, FotoHub understands it needs to continually delight the customer and win their loyalty. Even something as minute as reminding them to pick up their photos once they are ready for collection, is a carefully thought-out process when it comes to providing excellent customer service. FotoHub knows that customers enjoy the non-intrusive way of receiving SMS reminders and not be bothered by phone calls or missed calls during working hours.
Using SMS reminders has the added advantage of freeing up staff resources. Instead of spending time making a phone call, staff time is better utilised to provide customer service in the retail shops. As customers come to collect their prints earlier, cash-flow is improved. FotoHub also sees the value of using SMS to their customers who have signed up as members. The question: which solution to choose?

If they were to buy SMS services from independent operators, they would have less control and would need to expend heavy resources on manual processes. The deciding factor was the affordability and ease of using SendQuick Entera.
