Seth Godin: Customer service? "Please, go away"

Seth Godin: Customer service? "Please, go away" | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it
What if you had a big blue phone on your desk, and whenever you needed to, you could pick it up and instantly be connected with a smart and caring tech support expert (from your internet provider, your web host, the airline you use the most...)?

What are the chances you'd ever consider switching to a competitor that didn't offer similar service just to save a few bucks?

The current model of big company support is to throw undervalued, undertrained, underpowered human beings at perplexed customers, frustrating and disrespecting them enough that they shrug and give up.

How Alibaba Could Disrupt Amazon In The U.S. | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

It has to woo overlooked small retailers in the same way a disruptive technology needs to cater to developers.


Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has gotten lots of attention thanks to its pending multi-billion-dollar U.S. IPO. It seems to have no immediate plans to expand in the U.S.—but that's likely just a matter of time. And when it does, Amazon had better watch out, because Alibaba has a host of ready allies: the legions of mom-and-pop retailers that Amazon has left stranded in its wake.


Let's start with some background from Alibaba's perspective. The company controls 80% of the Chinese e-commerce market, which means it needs new markets in order to grow. Its current model—acting as an e-commerce middleman that connects buyers and sellers—might translate well to some big emerging markets, but Alibaba will need to take a more subtle approach in America for three reasons...

Is Referral Marketing the most important tool in your ecommerce toolbox?

Is Referral Marketing the most important tool in your ecommerce toolbox? | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

The funny thing about referrals is that because it’s such a no brainer, a lot of businesses don’t have a formal program setup to ensure e that they’re maximizing this channel, by automatically or programmatically asking all their customers. That’s both a shame and an opportunity lost, because for every one customer who may be naturally inclined to refer or recommend a businesses to their friends“without” being asked, there are almost certainly a number that will be too busy, or not inclined to refer anything without being asked to do so.


That’s reflected in the research as well. Some research done by Texas Tech showed that while 83% of consumers indicate they’d be willing to refer a business they frequent, only 29% actually do. That’s because surprisingly most businesses simply don’t ask.A quick and easy  customer referral program is not only a great marketing strategy on it’s own, because of that gap in consumer willingness and businesses asking, there is also a really good chance that setting up a customer referral program is great low hanging marketing fruit you can take advantage of....

Mass SEO Fail: Did Everyone Forget About On Page Optimization? | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Have you done all you can do to make the most of SEO?
