AICEX: riportiamo un post di qualche tempo fa ma sempre molto attuale

With new Senior Vice President of Retail Angela Ahrendts in charge of operations, Apple is further blurring the lines between its online and physical retail store services. We reported earlier this year on Ahrendts’s plans to more seamlessly integrate both paths of Apple retail, and now the Cupertino-based company is rolling out a revamped Genius Bar and product support reservation system.

It’s no secret that customer expectations for speed have accelerated. (Almost daily, it seems.) However: there are instances where you can’t increase your speed of customer service, your delivery of your product, the deliverables of the customer experience. The reality of such situations is that customer expectations have rushed ahead of what you, being a reality-based business, can provide.

So while generally my advice, as a customer service consultant, has been “get with the program already and meet these new customer expectations–before somebody else does!” there have to be exceptions.

Not long ago, on September 26th to be precise, I wrote a piece which spoke to the ongoing “battle” marketers are having when it comes to the topic of mobile marketing. I use the word “battle” for it is very much a battle marketers face in trying to get their hands around something that is obviously vital to their long term success.

The aforementioned article, Email Marketing Most Effective, Mobile Marketing Most Difficult, spoke to the large number of marketers who, when surveyed, identified mobile marketing as being “most difficult.”

One company that has been helping retail marketers and retail brands in their “battle” is Point Inside.

Airlines, banks, and cable service providers are delivering record-setting profits this year, even though they regularly rank low on most measures of customer satisfaction. The reasons why illustrate the utility of setting expectations, having a monopoly, and being uniquely expert at something, and the danger of assuming that customer-centricity means making customers “happy.”

Airlines

Last week, American Airlines reported record quarterly profits and its first dividend since 1980. Southwest also set a record, and United’s profits were up 51% over a year ago. Delta announced its record quarter a week prior. Customer service seems to have little bearing on these results. Planes are more crowded, and passengers are paying more for tickets and incidental services, like bag check, while fuel costs are down

In fact, airlines rank low in most satisfaction polls — coming in below mortgage lenders in one major survey — and may benefit from consistently lowering traveller expectations, not trying to raise their hopes.
